Yesterday Chloe and I met the Out of School Club and had a great time talking about what fruit and vegetables they'd like to grow and also learning how to use a digital camera. They showed us that they'd started to prepare the ground by laying down cardboard, in order to cut out the light and kill off the grass (know as a mulch). They also wanted to show us that they'd started to grow some vegetables in grow bags - radishes, broad beans, peas and sunflowers. While Chloe talked to one small group about what other plants they might like to grow, I was able to show the others how to carry the cameras responsibly; how to switch the camera on and off; how to zoom in and zoom out and how to take a shot. We then went outside and all took some photos. Once we'd finished taking the pictures, I was able to show them how to transfer the photos to the computer - everyone had a go at doing this. We then viewed the pictures, which had turned out really well. Chloe and I then changed groups and repeated what we'd done with the first groups. All in all we and the children had a really enjoyable afternoon.
