Going green!

This week saw the first seeds sown in the Ikhayalethemba Village School garden! Over the last few weeks Class C have been learning about the seasons. During their focus on Spring Aoife and Emma taught them about how plants grow and they planted their own runner bean seeds in cotton wool in the classroom. They watered them carefully and watched eagerly as they began to grow. This week they had grown so much they needed to be transferred to the ground and so the school garden was born. A very happy Mama gave us our own plot and was very excited to hear about our plans to teach the children how to look after plants and see how they grow with love and care. Watch this space for future additions to the garden and hopefully one day a meal for the children from produce they have grown themselves!
