In order to investigate the importance of plants and grow some herbs for our future club activities like kitchen cookery we have decided to grow a herb garden in the front of our school.
This will lead to trips such as botanic gardens and Alnwick garden.
This is an on going project and will involve recording soil hydration, soil pH, measuring plant growth, effects of fertilising / vermiculite etc.
The effect of different weather conditions will be monitored and this will be related to plant growth.
This project will link with kitchen chemistry and weather station readings.
A bigger project to form an eco classroom outside the school for summer ecology lessons is being planned. (More information to be added soon).
