Hiya

I’m sorry we haven’t updated for quite a long time but we have been very busy with our new recipe book and we estimate that it will probably be ready by Christmas.

Class 4 are very excited about it and there is lots of fun games and recipes for parents and children to enjoy together. These recipes are quite easy to make and some of them are just little things that you can make and just snack on. Such as: smoothies, coleslaw and delicious desserts.

I hope we can start getting on top of the blog so we can tell you all the updates. I hope we can get back in touch soon. Bye for now! J

Hello it has been a long time since we last posted but we have been very busy. We have been having quite a bad time with the weather and the plants haven’t been doing so well. Today we have a teacher from castle hill called Miss Frost come over so we can tell her about our business. She is also starting a business like ours, this could be a perfect opportunity to show how brilliant our business is.

 The story is that it has been really hot and we haven’t had much rain so our vegetables are getting dryer so the insects and all the pests are eating our vegetables. We have got new people in our business now as the old year 6s have moved into high school so we have needed time to sort it all out. To add to this, we have two new groups. The names of these new groups called spokesperson and ground person. Ground person is linked into plant care team and the finance team. The spokesperson is linked to public relations and accounts manager. We will update you when we next have more news. But for now we will see you later. Bye!

Today we looked around our beds and observed the Rhubarb sprouts and all the bothersome weeds covering the plants. We came inside and created an action plan to get rid of the pesky weeds. The finance team are working out how much money we will be able to make from our future crops. PR (Public Relations) are writing a piece about our business for the Wenhaston Warbler to try and attract their attention to raise enough money to be able to purchase a greenhouse and revamp the growing beds.

We have other teams working a sweat to try and find the right plants for the shady and sunny areas of our school. The Marketing Team are also working hard to create a new logo to paste on our boxes for our produce that we send out to Adnams pubs.                                             

Mr Welby works for Syngenta, his job involves working with plants and crops and also working with food sprays. The company own a lot of seeds! He has kindly offered to help our business with any seeds or seedlings he can provide for us. The plant care team are very busy working out a list of plants that we might need for Mr Welby.

Finally the Finance Team are sending invoices to Adnams by email and they are making spreadsheets to keep track of what we receive from Adnams and what we spend, also they keep track of the profits for our crops and they make bar charts and graphs to see the information on how much our crops make when we sell them.

Review of 2018 Growing Season

 

What a busy year it was in the garden! The year started with the challenge from ‘The Beast from the East’. It took quite a while for the soil to warm up and allow us to plant our crops. Then followed ‘The great drought of 2019’…another set of challenges as we tried to make sure our plants had enough water to grow. It did make us think how ‘climate change’ might alter the way we look after our garden.

Another goodbye in 2018 was to the allotment. We had thoroughly enjoyed our time there and had turned it into a good growing space. However we decided that it was time to focus our energies and resources on our own school plot…working together to create new growing areas and a greenhouse.

2018 proved to be another highly successful year for the ‘Vegetables R Us’ team. Altogether we made £283.96 profit and the new team we have in place worked wonderfully together….quickly taking on their new roles and responsibilities within the team.

Now the growing season has ended and we look towards the future and how best to spend our profits on growing our business still further!
