Our first Harvest.


We finally have our first vegies ready to be picked. We picked our chinese cabbage and all had a try of it straight from our garden. The class all tried some with a lot of us enjoying it raw. We sent some home with certain people and they cooked it up for their families and they all liked it.

Room 3's Remarkable Garden


Making the trench and sowing out our carrot seeds.

Seed Potatoes from Grandad B. Here we are marking where we planted them.

Do you like the sticks we have used for our peas to grow up? We were given them by a Mum  from Room 3.

Mmm. Can't wait for our rhubarb to get a bit bigger and then we can cook some and eat it.

Here we are deciding where to do more planting.

Here we are carefully removing more plants from their  containers.

Working together.


Deciding whether it needs some protection like the one beside it. 

Checking to see if the protection has helped.

Gently tending to a plant.

Wondering if our garden is going to be the best.

Showing how plants get going with a bit of protection.

Deciding whether to let this plant be sheltered from the cold wind for a few more days.

After the holidays. Rms 4's garden

 Our Bok Choi and Broccoli looking very healthy

The Room 5 Garden

Mrs. Gould helped us to plant carrot seeds - not too thick! 

We planted brocolli.


We used a string line to keep the raddish seeds in a straight line.

We are really pleased with the final result and will watch our plants sprout and grow!

Planting our Strawberries




Today we mounded up some dirt and put some horse manure in it and covered it with black polythene. We then planted 5 strawberry plants into the polythene. We used the polythene to help keep the strawberries off the soil and to give them extra warmth in the ground. This will hopefully help them grow better.

Planting seeds in Room 4





In Room4 we planted corn and peas into seed trays using Tui seed raising mix We received in our prize pack. We also planted some chilli and cherry-tomato seeds. we have put them in the window of our classroom where they will hopefully get lots of sunlight. We put our initials on our pottles to have a competition to see whose comes up 1st.






Today in Room 4 we planned out what we were going to put in our garden. We investigated what plants grew best together, this is called Companion planting We then followed our plan and planted broccoli, lettuces, onions, cauliflower, Pak choi. We used milk and fizzy drink bottles cut in half and placed them over our plants. We did this to protect the plants from frost and birds.
