Day 19
09 June 2009
The school sold off some of the veg planted by the children and staff in the gardening club. They made over £11.00 today, and all of the money will be going back into the garden. Well done to the children, staff and parents for creating the veg, and to the weather for making it sow (geddit? OK this might not read so well without a glass of wine inside me tomorrow morning...hmmm).I think it's remarkable how children are keen on doing stuff like gardening. Why aren't they more interested in sitting in front of the TV, or playing on the Wii or something? These kids have the benefit of an adult or two to light their imagination, create some sparks, and motivate them. Well done to all!
If other kids are anything like my daughter, they'll want to know how stuff works, how stuff grows, why, why and why. Today I've been asked how bees get made, and how kittens get made. It seemed funny to start by saying, "well a mummy cat and a daddy cat who love eachother...", but then explaining about worker bees and the queen bee...
...now: where's that wine bottle...
