Lots of fun at our school farm this afternoon. We dug for insects and watered the plants. Ask us all about it! 🐞 🐛 🪱 🌱 🪴 🌳 @farm_leader @CanalViewPSEdin #OnlyAtCanalView

P7 farmers did a great job of setting up and running the farm activities for health week. P1, P2, and P3 children learned that plants give us oxygen, make delicious food, and help us to feel good. #Greenhealthweek @CanalViewPSEdin

At school farm we have been hardening off our tender plants: tomatoes, sunflowers, French marigolds and cosmos. Today we sowed sweetcorn and blue pumpkins! Can't wait to taste those 😃 @CanalViewPSEdin

Our school farmers worked hard to get the last of the potatoes planted this week. These ones will be ready after the summer holidays. 🤞#growingfood @CanalViewPSEdin

We took time to enjoy nature's beauty at school farm today. We lay under the blossom listening to the bees hum, watched ladybirds and admired the golden dandelions. #natureconnection #beingstill #healthandwellbeing @CanalViewPSEdin

P6 farmers learned about pollination in our school orchard. They played spot the bee, made some beautiful paper blossoms scented with lemon balm, and snacked on apple slices. 🍎 @CanalViewPSEdin #thisisLfS

We loved the sunshine on School Farm today and after all the rain it was great to see our mint and coriander plots flourishing. #spring @CanalViewPSEdin

P7 farmers were making newspaper pots today to sow their sunflower seeds. Followed by tasty snacks from our #herb bed. #ThisisLfS @CanalViewPSEdin

Some of our seedlings got a bit leggy over the Easter holidays, and our P6 farmers did an amazing job of planting them deeply into new pots to give them stronger stems. A very delicate job! 👏🌱 @CanalViewPSEdin

Great teamwork and knot tying from our school farmers building a new willow shelter for quiet farm moments. The willow trimmings made beautiful decorations to celebrate the arrival of spring. #ostara #clocksforward @CanalViewPSEdin

A wintry morning on school farm was the perfect time to make seed gifts from dried flower heads and create a herd of reindeer! #seeds #creativity @CanalViewPSEdin
