Welcome to West... / Green Diggers
Hello Diggers,
It's getting colder and winter is here. In your garden and local parks the birds are eating bright berries and the plants are getting ready to survive the cold weather. Have you noticed the changes? Wrap up warm and go outside with your family and friends to have a good look at what's happening.
Indoors you can enjoy your Green Diggers Winter newsletter. Learn about vegetables that like to be friends with each other, flowers that grow on mountains (shiver, shiver) and good ideas for Christmas presents for your friends and family. Have a go at the word search, share the jokes and don't forget to get your friends to join the Green Diggers Club too.
Happy gardening!
Love Diggy

Cool facts to impress your friends. Diggy says amaze your friends, family and teachers with these cool facts |
When you are eating vegetables and they are next to each other on the plate, did you know that when they are growing some vegetables are friends and some don't like each other? |
Did you know that every year in Britain we throw away so much rubbish that it is about the same as 4 million elephants!! And did you know that lots and lots of the rubbish we throw away could be used over and over again? |
Have you ever stopped to think about all the amazing places plants grow? From salty, windy beaches to cold mountain sides plants just seem to be able to grow anywhere. |
| Diggy says find the vegetable names as quickly as you can! |
Q: If chickens get up when the rooster crows, when do ducks get up? Q: What is a chicken's favourite kind of vegetable? |
| Don't forget to get your friends to join the Green Diggers. |
