The children have been keeping a close eye on our most recent garden visitors.
In early summer the children planted out 70 sunflowers, that they had grown from seed, all along the school's fence line.
Despite a long period without rain, the sunflowers grew well and are in full bloom to welcome us all back to school.
Common carder bees (bombus pascuorum ) have been making their way around the heads of the sunflowers in our gatden. It is great to get an opportunity to watch our wild native bees collecting pollen at such close quarters.
