Gardening!

This term we are learning about the diversity of plants.  This means we will be discovering lots of different plants, types of plants, the many places plants can be found, and the many ways we can look after plants....not to mention the many uses of plants.  So much to learn!

This week we've started off by planting some seeds and plants, so we can watch them grow over the next few weeks.

Yesterday we planted some radishes and potatoes in our section of the edible gardens.  There are a lot of keen gardeners in Room 10.

The potato plants had 'self-sown' themselves in the flower garden!
So we will see if they will grow in the school garden instead.

We had to loosen up the soil by digging it up.  It didn't take long for 10 of us to dig up the garden!

Here are two potato seeds.  They are a lot bigger than the radish seeds.

A big thank you to Connor for taking these wonderful photos.
