REMINDER: The Art Competition run by the Treasury is open for a few more days! We would love to see more entries. The theme is nature and we are looking for calming and happy pictures. They need to be A4 sized and it is £2 per entry. We can't wait to see them! #gorseycommons

The children in the Department for Environment have been working so hard over the last few weeks to grow fruit and vegetables in our school garden. 🍓 🥬 They have spent many of their playtimes watering the plants and tidying up the garden!

Over the last few days, we have harvested lettuce, radish and spinach from our school garden. We then delivered the produce to the school kitchen to go into the salad bar. We are excited to continue this Field to Fork relationship and provide more vegetables when they are ready!
