Room One's Garden

This term we have started a garden by the class deck. It's exciting to have a place of our own to grow things.
First we got Mr Boase to make a little garden bed and put some compost in for the garden.
Then we planted the tomato seedling we had found growing in the playground at the start of the year. We had been looking after it in a pot in our classroom until it got too big.
We found lots of kikuyu grass under the compost and tried to get it all out so it wouldn't spoil our garden. It was too hard for us to do by ourself so we asked David to help dig it out for us.
The next week we planted some calendula plants. They all died, so last week we tried again and planted some more. We found lots of worms in the soil and a caterpillar on our tomato. We like worms!
Our tomato plant is looking good. It liked all the sun and rain. We picked two ripe tomatoes and cut them up to share. They tasted yummy.
