CHILDREN from Brougham Street Nursery School have been out and about again as part of their outdoor learning and the topic this term is “how to grow your own soup”, inspired by the well known tale “The enormous turnip”.

The school partnered up with Joel Howard–Birt and visited Trinity’s Community Allotment, in Greatwood. There the children saw so many different vegetables growing, such as courgettes, pumpkins, and Swedish chard. Skills they have developed through their play were turned into real life gardening experiences, such as digging the soil to prepare for planting.

To bring the story to life they also got to work together to pull up an enormous turnip. Pupils from the school thoroughly enjoyed their visit and future visits are planned for the spring term.
