We've all gone hopping mad!

On Wednesday Class 3 and Class 4 went hop picking on the Harewood Estate. Mr Nicholson, the head gardener, invited us to help with the hop harvest.
Do you know what a hop is? It is part of a plant that is used to brew beer. Here is just a handful of the buckets of hops we picked - phew!


The walled garden was very hot, so we were very pleased that Mr. Nicholson provided some refreshing water for his workers!

We did take time to smell the lovely flowers.


Some of the hops looked like aliens - well we thought so!


Frankie and Kallista were the leaders of the winning teams - well done everyone! Soon it was time to march back to school. What a tiring day!
