OUR LEARNING

Did you know ?

Did you know you can replant sunflower seeds once they are dried out?


Did you know placing broken pots before soil helps decrease the weight on the bottom of the barrel and to help with drainage of water?
 


CLASS GARDENS

Victoria and Kyle spent some time interviewing children from each class about gardening to find out what they know and how the Green Team can help them. 
The results were fantastic! We found Halcombe School children have learnt about basic gardening skills and have enjoyed eating and celebrating the produce that they have grown this term.



Take a look at some of the great experiences our classes have had this term...

POT PREPARATION

Lately we have been cleaning pots so that we can plant and grow plants to then sell one day or to move into our garden area. Everyone enjoyed washing up and coming up with ideas together. Thanks Vikki for all your help!

WHAT WE HAVE BEEN UP TO



The last couple of weeks members of the Green Team have been working hard planting plants, weeding gardens and watering gardens! We weeded all the of the weeds in our nature walk and we planted a feijoa tree.
Room 6 Green Team members recently pulled all of their corn out. On Thursday room 6 ate corn on a cob!  
We have enjoyed having younger kids helping to feed the chickens.
