Today we found and dug up potatoes, potatoes and more potatoes!
DON’T WASTE YOUR OLD POTATOES! When they are old and start to grow shoots dig a 30cm hole and plant them! Potatoes are tubers, grow underground and off a central stem. They need around 60-90 days frost-free to successfully grow. It it so much fun finding them when you dig up the soil! 5A students

FIRST EVENT – Global Waggle Dance Challenge
Honeybees are known to communicate in a dance language called the waggle dance. It is an important part of how they provide food for the bee community.
The direction the bee moves in relation to the hive indicates direction of the food source (pollen or nectar); if it moves vertically, the direction to the food source is directly towards the sun.
Objectives – To be a part of the 20,000 waggle dance videos uploaded, from 20 countries, to represent the 20,000 species of bees that exist globally!
