The grass is starting to grow all the way through the bike frame, we decided it was time to give it a bit of a trim - the only way to do this was with a pair of scissors.
We found it quite a therapeutic activity snipping away at the long grass between the spokes of the wheels - the willow bike looks a lot tidier now.
The Yr 8 Science students were out in the garden today having a look in our poly-tunnel at the different plants we have planted. They also had a hunt around the garden to see what insects they could find.
They had a good look at our tank of tadpoles, and also found snails, a lady-bird, and a spider.

We decided that it was about time to put the rest of the tadpoles into the pond as there would be lots of things for the tadpoles to eat.
While we were putting the tadpoles into the pond we noticed that the ones we put in the pond a few weeks ago were a lot bigger. One of the students managed to catch this one, it has back legs and is over twice the size of the ones we have had inside?
A courgette plant which is just starting to produce a few buds.
A few cherries starting to change colour.
Our willow dome looks completely different now, it has all sprouted and has greened up, the grass is very long and looks more like a meadow at the moment - but we have decided that we quite like it looking like this.
Our comfrey is buzzing with bees and is now huge.
Another home-made cloche, made from water-pipe and netting to keep the butterflies off our little cauliflower plants.
One of our scare-crows near the comfrey bed.
Potatoes are growing really big now.
Onions and garlic
The first few peas on our pea wigwam - apparently they were very tasty.
Can anyone help identify this flower - we have an entire bed of this growing in what was our wildflower bed last year? The bees certainly like it, but we don't know what it is?
