Green fingered pupils from a junior school joined together with older students to do a spot of gardening.

The nurture garden at Driffield Junior School received plenty of TLC last Wednesday 5 June, as students from Driffield School and Sixth Form visited to work with the juniors.

The keen gardeners weeded, cleared out planters and put in new bedding plants in the outdoor space, which ties in with the new Nurture Room at the junior school.

Adele Wilkinson, class teacher at Driffield Junior School, said: “We are hoping to include the gardens more in the curriculum here. It was a really nice project where we could forge new relations between the two schools.

“Gardening is great for youngsters to see the circle of life, learning to look after plants and them seeing them come to fruition. It is physical work too which is really good for them.”

Driffield Junior School hopes to work with the senior school again in the future, and in the mean time will continue the work in the garden, incorporating it into the national curriculum studied by the youngsters.
