This Year, St Michael's students are growing vegetables in our brand new Vege Pods outside the Year 3 and Year 4 classrooms.  The nice thing about the Vege Pods is they have a net on top to stop the birds eating the vegetables.

There are eight pods in total and each class was given their very own section.  Pod 1 has Year 1's rhubarb, Pod 2 has Year 2's lettuces, Pod 3 has Year 3's cucumbers, Pod 4 has Year 4's carrots, Pod 5 has Year 5's beetroot and Pod 6 has Year 6's beans.  Pod 7 and 8 are being looked after by the Yr 6 Environmental Group and they are growing radishes and strawberries.

Year Four has been measuring the veggies growth rates and we were surpirsed by how quickly they've grown.  We think it might be all the lovely rain we have been getting.

Today the Year 6 Environmental group are picking and selling the radishes at the end of school.
