The KS2 children had a wonderful time learning about their class book “The Hobbit”  while designing and growing their own “Shire” inspired gardens.

Benefits of minianture gardens:

1.Hands-on learning: Develops fine motor skills and observation abilities.

2.STEM education: Explore plant life cycles, ecosystems, and geology.

3.Creativity: Encourages imaginative play and problem-solving.

4 Sustainability: Teaches about the importance of caring for the plants.
