Year 7 are currently studying ‘The Rocky World’, a recent lesson was understanding the importance of soil. With the beautiful weather, it was an excellent opportunity for students to go out to the school garden to complete the lesson outside.  During the lesson students examined the different soil types within the school garden and considered why understanding soil is so important for farmers and structural engineers. Students explored the various fruit, vegetables and trees that are growing in the garden and planted some plants to monitor the growth in various soil types.
