During the final week of term, we will be thinking about the Easter Story and will be taking part in lots of Easter activities. 

On Monday 31 March we would like the Year 1 children to make their own Easter garden. Please could your child bring in some of the materials needed so that they can make it at school. Materials should be brought to school in a named carrier bag on Monday 31st morning, please. Please feel free to bring as much or as little from the list below as you would like to.

 Suggested materials for a lovely Easter Garden: 

• A small recycled shallow tray, dish or lid. A foil tray or a plastic garden tray is ideal. 
• Small, bright, flowering bedding plants or plugs e.g. primroses, pansies, crocuses or daffodils
• Garden soil or potting compost 
• Moss or sand 
• Dried twigs  
• Gravel 
• Small stones or pebbles

A lovely aspect of this activity is that we share the resources brought in by the children so that everyone is able to make a garden. We would be very grateful if you are able to send in any extra flowers, trays etc. to help anyone that isn’t able to bring their own resources.

As you can imagine, we don’t have anywhere to store these things safely so please don’t bring anything in before Monday 31st March.

The children will bring their completed gardens home on Monday afternoon for you to enjoy at home.  Thank you for all your contributions.
