P3 Seed planting
Today we have been planting. Our special compost was very Eco friendly, made from waste materials from the coconut industry in India. We planted peas, garlic and shallots. We will try our best to look after them over the winter months and will enjoy watching them grow.

VCB Prep joins Inchmarlo for Forest School
Prep 1 had such good fun this morning at Inchmarlo - at last we got a dry day! The girls made new friends and went on an Autumn scavenger hunt in their mixed groups. Lots of opportunities for sharing and turn-taking as well as lots of running around. There was a little chill in the air so they all got warmed up with warm juice and a chocolate biscuit.
