Henry the Giant!

On Wednesday 25th April, Year 4 and 5 pupils from Albany Juniors came to do some gardening with us. They helped us create a giant's head just peering out of the soil. Apparently his name is Henry... The group also did pond-dipping and sowed Climbing Bean seeds. THANKS ALL!

Bird Feeder Workshop

A chilly day for April but there was warm company in the polytunnel this afternoon at Dig In for our Bird Feeder Workshop.

 Making different lard and seed mixes

 Yummy! Apricots and.... mealworms!

Making sure it is all well mixed in!

  

Pine cones make good bird-feeders...

 

  ...when bird seed and lard are squidged into them.

 David drilled holes into some rather lovely hazel logs.

 We put some of the mixture in here too.

 Mealworms and cheesy maggots! Nom nom nom

 

  Yep! That's a loo roll. Spread with peanut butter and rolled in bird-seed!

 

 Displaying what we've made - some went up round Dig In, the rest has gone all round Stapleford and beyond.
