Mrs Field got us some free plants from Planters Nursery so we could look after them and watch them grow. We had snow peas, spinach, lettuce and flowers in little punnets. The garden we used was beside Room 21. We had to water the soil and use the garden tools to loosen up the soil. We all had turns to make the soil wet enough to plant the plants. We worked in pairs and discovered that we could plant 5 rows of 5 plants in the area we had. This was the introduction to our Maths on AREA and perimeter. We make a little hole and placed the plants carefully into the hole. We pushed the soil around the plant and the gave it a little drink of water. It was really good fun to make a garden.
To grow, the plants need water, sunlight and food from the soil. Bruno and Charlie R. We're very good at remembering to water the plants each week. Some of them died but Mrs Field replaced those ones and they looked really good. Our class wrote thank you letters to the garden centre for the lovely plants.
