Room 13 are gardening!

Last week we decided that we were going to help with the management of the gardens at school, especially those outside our class rooms.

We talked to Mrs Makene who had a similar idea and had talked to the city council about putting our plan into action.

A parent has donated a worm farm to the school, so Caleb and Humo were given the job to research the worm farm and what they can actually eat and how they work. They are currently working on this to share with the class.

Anna and Kimberley are researching compost bins and finding out about what can go in those, they are also gathering the information to share with the class. We are looking forward to the arrival of some special compost bins that have been ordered.

Seth and Te Ahu were given the task to find out a bit more about pig buckets, as we already have these in the school.

Isabel, Nikita, Nick and Bryce headed outside and had a sort through the garden and pulled out any items that were no longer suitable (dead or gone to seed).

Kayla, Chloe, Micayela, Ethan, Anthony, Shohei and Isabelle started sorting through the books in our class, noting down interesting websites and beginning to find out what plants we can plant.

We are all very excited and have brainstormed some really cool ideas of what we want to achieve.

We look forward to sharing our work with you.
