As I write this blog, the Beachlands19ers are quietly writing to explain 'How do plants grow?' We have been investigating through science and reading about plants the ways that plants grow. Our inquiry has helped us to understand how seasons impact on growing, what gardeners can do to encourage healthy plants, why bees are so important and how seeds travel.
We have carried out some whole class investigations (photos of these will be posted shortly) and the students are now carrying out their own science investigation, in pairs of by themselves. The purpose of these investigations is to provide us with information that will support us with our own school garden.
Our next step is learn and understand companion planting, then make up two garden plans for our Year 5&6 garden - one for Term 3 and the other for Term 1. Exciting stuff! Can't wait to see what the Beachlands19ers come up with.
