Garden News
Thanks to a dedicated team of waterers, our beautiful garden thrived over the summer break! A big thanks to everyone who chipped in to keep things wet.
If you would like to join in with Garden Club, we meet every Friday after school for a bit of casual weeding, planting, harvesting and afternoon tea! Everybody is welcome.
You can also pop by Fridays after school and share in the garden produce. This week we have lots of cherry tomatoes (in RPS colours!) plus zucchinis, rocket, herbs and cucumbers. All available for a gold coin donation.
