Our Year 6 children have been getting their hands dirty this week as part of their outdoor learning sessions, helping to harvest the wonderful vegetables and squashes grown in our school allotment.

Armed with enthusiasm and a willingness to get stuck in, the children explored what had been growing in our allotment and carefully gathered the produce ready for our Harvest Festival celebrations.

After collecting their harvest, the children worked together to create a beautiful autumnal display, showcasing the colourful vegetables and squashes they had collected.

It was a lovely opportunity to bring learning to life, helping children understand where our food comes from, appreciate the changing seasons and recognise the hard work involved in growing our own produce.

Even better, the children's efforts helped make our Harvest Festival celebrations on Friday extra special!

At Romilly, we believe that some of the most memorable learning happens beyond the classroom. Our allotment provides a fantastic opportunity for children to develop practical skills, teamwork, responsibility and a connection with the natural world.

A huge well done to our Year 6 children for their hard work and for creating such a lovely contribution to our Harvest Festival!

Learning, Growing, and Succeeding Together.

On Monday, our Year 5 pupils will be visiting Slade Farm as part of an exciting food literacy programme.

This year-long project, supported by funding from Vale Food, will give children the opportunity to explore where their food comes from, learn about sustainable farming and develop a greater understanding of the journey from farm to fork.

Throughout the year, pupils will have opportunities to return to the farm, experiencing the changing seasons and discovering how food is grown and produced.

We are delighted to be involved in this project, which brings learning to life beyond the classroom and helps children develop a deeper appreciation of food, farming and the natural environment.

Outdoor learning is about so much more than being outside. It’s about developing confidence, independence, problem-solving skills and a sense of responsibility for the world around us.

Da iawn, Year 6! 👏 You’ve made a real difference to our forest area, and we can’t wait to see how this wonderful space continues to develop.

💚 Romilly Together – caring for our school, our community and our environment.

The children got stuck into planting daffodils, tulips, pansies, violas, conifers, lamb’s ears and a selection of herbs. 

It was wonderful to see everyone enjoying the opportunity to learn outdoors, get their hands dirty and spend time in nature. We’re looking forward to watching everything grow over the coming months! 🌱

The children absolutely loved it and are already counting down to next week’s session! 💚
