Seasonal Planting

 Room 14 is becoming experts on seasonal planting!

So far we have:

1. Brainstormed what we already know about seasons and planting.

2. Come up with what we needed to know, and where to find information about seasons and plants to help us understand this. 

3. Conducted experiments to help us know the best environment for a seed and plants to grow.

4. Learned some more about the temperature and weather in each season. 

5. We then came up with some problems seeds and plants might encounter in each season. 

This is what we came up with for summer and what we thought we could do about it. See the next post about the winter problem, and how we thought we could solve it!  

 Tyrahn and Rayyed made this home made sprinkler out of a plastic bottle and then Shannon (Phoebe's mum) hooked it up to a hose for us and we tested it out! It worked!

BFG Sketch Pictures

Nathan's Mum told us about a competition! We could draw a picture of the BFG! So.... after we unpacked and studied the story of the BFG we had a go at sketching him. Look what we have done!
