Our Vege Patch is Flourishing!

Hi everyone! 

I wanted to update you on how our vege patch is going outside our classroom.
It's exciting to see the plants grow bigger and bigger everyday, they're Room 2's little babies!

This is what they look like now

Our Broad Bean plants are getting so big!


We have a little bit of a dilemma. It's almost the school holidays. What do you think we should do to make sure these plants get enough water while everyone's on holiday?

Room 2's Vege Patch

Kia Ora bloggers!

We wanted to show you our little vege patch outside our classroom.

This is what it looked like before:

We had a lot of weeding to do in our garden patch before we could start planting. So here are some students from Room 2 plucking out the weeds, preparing the patch!


With all our vege patch almost done, we decided to add some beautiful pink flowers to add a POP of colour ! 


Our vegetable patch has: silver beet, broad beans, broccoli and cauliflower. 
And of course our pretty pink flowers (which are not edible!)

Here is our finished garden - What do you think?




At first, a lot of the students didn't want to do the gardening, they were just going to stay inside and do some school work because they thought getting their hands dirty was a bit yucky - but when they saw the students that were outside, gardening having so much fun, they all decided to join in. At the end of our gardening block, everyone had a lot of fun and they wanted to do more gardening!


Have you ever tried something for the first time and hated it, but the more you did it, you end up really enjoying it and having fun? What was it?
