5. ORCHARD. Weve cleaned and plowed the orchard to prepare it for planting and sewing in late winter. Weve pruned all the trees and labeled some of them with the latin name, the Spanish name and aragonese (local language) name. Weve planted more trees. Pupils from other schools of the neighborhood come to our school to know about bushes, trees and vegetables and carry out environmental activities with our pupils.
