Georgia the planter

A spin-off from a focus on growing offered opportunities for the children at Oakdale Early Years Centre in Leeds to develop their personal, social and emotional learning skills. Georgia the Planter was introduced along with other containers during a theme on growing. One morning, the children discovered that she had moved from her usual position outside. A big hunt began until she was discovered hiding in the bushes.

Callum suggested that she must have a Harry Potter wand and Connor said it was just magic.
