This term we have been learning about growing plants from seeds, the parts of a plant, and, what plants need and do for the environment. We have worked together to create a garden to plant our sunflower seedlings in and a 'Butterfly Garden' where we will plant the swan plants we are growing.
 |
| We joined hands and measured the space our garden would be. Our garden will be a curved shape. It is 16 strides long. |
 |
| Next we spread out the cardboard onto the ground. |
 |
| We had to stand on the cardboard so it wouldn't blow away. |
We worked in pairs tipping soil out of buckets, spreading soil and returning the buckets for Mr Mullholland and our helpers from
Te Puawai to fill up again.
Our gardens still need some more soil but that's our job for next week!
We went back to the classroom, washed our hands and got rewarded for our great mahi and . . . so did the lovely tuakana Levi, Miley, Kingston and Mason from Te Puawai.
 |
| We couldn't have made our gardens without their help. They displayed all of our school values -Hiranga/Excellence, Rereketanga/Diversity, Ngakau/Integrity, Porihanga/Community and Partnership and Kaitiakitanga with big smiles and their willingness to help out! |
