Fun and games with autumn leaves which did finally end up as mulch on our vegetable beds! @SFarm_GardenCym

Year 2 loved using mirrors and magnifying glasses to examine some of the fascinating fungi in our school grounds @BritMycolSoc

Year 4 enjoying some fun and informative water conservation activites provided by @DwrCymru

Year 4 pupils have been learning how to keep our guinea pigs healthy and happy which, of course, includes plenty of cuddles in the new enclosure @SFarms_Gardens

Amazing footage of badgers in a Cardiff garden. This one definitely has a peanut habit!! Who would have thought these lovely animals were so agile? @IoloWilliams2 @BBCSpringwatch

What do you do when all your lettuces are ready at once and there's no time to share them before the holidays? You freeze them! Year 4 enjoyed processing their salad leaves and plan to make soup in the autumn term. Watch this space! 🥬@RHSSchools @ediblecardiff @GrowCardiff

Year 5 enjoyed creating a no-dig bed for DE3 this morning @GrowCardiff @SFarms_Gardens @nodigcharles

Beekeeping Club checking the colonies, especially the nucs to see how they're building up. One queen spotted but signs that all are present!! @welshbee @SFarms_Gardens

Year 6 enjoyed their pond dipping session yesterday finding palmate newts, backswimmers and caddis fly larvae. The highlight was watching a dragonfly nymph shed its skin! @PondDip @IoloWilliams2

Beekeeping club being shown what to look for in the hive by high school student and former pupil Emanuel @welshbee @whs_cardiff @SFarms_Gardens

Much excitement as Year 5 came to help Year 2 harvest their competition potatoes ready for weighing @gyopotatoes @GrowCardiff @SFarms_Gardens @RHSSchools

Great morning of planting our plug plants from @HMPCardiff and lots of lovely home grown vegetables too. Thank you to our amazing families for their help. Well done team! @ediblecardiff @GrowCardiff @The_RHS @SFarms_Gardens

Beekeeping Club are making an adapted brood box so we can populate the Warre hive with bees on National frames @SFarms_Gardens @welshbee

Some fantastic work by Year 6 using their woodworking skills to erect some additional fox proof fencing in the chickens' enclosure @SFarms_Gardens @GrowCardiff @BHWTOfficial

Not sure who enjoyed their homegrown treats the most - the children with their microgreens or tge chickens with their wheatgrass trays. Either way, there wasn't a lot left!! @BHWTOfficial @RHSSchools @SFarms_Gardens @GrowCardiff

DE3 are looking forward to welcoming many birds with our very own bird feeders!

Year 5 enjoyed introducing some of our chickens to the Nursery children in stay and play sessions today @BHWTOfficial @SFarms_Gardens @Llanfach2031

Year 5's potatoes are finally in ready for our ambitious autumn project. Better late than never!! @RHSSchools @SFarms_Gardens

It was action stations for beekeeping club this morning dealing with their first swarm. After a fair bit of bramble pruning we were confident that the queen was in the box @welshbee @SFarms_Gardens

Year 1 know how much our chickens love treats so today we've been sowing wheat and curly kale for them and also some microgreens in the classroom which we can enjoy! #RHSBigSeedSow @BHWTOfficial @GrowCardiff @RHSSchools
