Term 4, Week 5

In the Garden

Last Friday the eager Room 8 and Room 11 kids joined forces to weed out our planter boxes in the school garden to prepare them for our seedlings.

We started off by going on a scavenger hunt around the garden to see what interesting living things we could spy... Then we had heaps of fun getting our hands dirty! 

Mr Durbin showed us how to dig down to the bottom of the roots of the weeds, lift them up and shake of the excess dirt. Taking out the roots ensures the weeds will not regrow. 

We now have a spot in the school garden that is weed free for us to plant out our New World Little Gardens that we have been growing in class.

Take a look at the Room 8 and 11 "Little Gardeners" in action...
