Friday 27 June

We were going to shift the sleepers today, to make our garden surround. But it was too wet to go outside, so we will do it on Monday morning. Earlier this week, we had a huge hail storm and our playing fields turned white. On Monday we went to a cool play at Darfield High School.

Thursday 19 June

We did not do our gardening work yesterday, because we had the four year old Plunket visitors. But we did find out from our plant experiments, that plants need water,food from soil, sun and air to grow. We will need all of these things for our seeds to grow in our garden.

Wednesday 11 June

Today we wrote a list of all the jobs we need to do, to make our garden.
After that, we each drew a plan of the garden, with the plants we would like to grow and eat! We had lots of ideas and the most popular things to plant and grow were carrots, pumpkin and strawberries. We think they will all grow in our garden.

Wednesday 4 June

This is where we want our garden to be. We have lots of work to do.
