Invasion of the giant zucchini!

Room 9a & 9 had their first enviro lesson with Mrs Daniel today. They discovered lots of fruit and veges growing in the edible garden.

We saw giant zucchini too. How did they get so big? The Year Ones knew; sun, water & soil. What kind of soil? Full of nutrients of course.

The children then used their muscles to pull giant weeds and put them in the compost. Those weeds were stealing our nutrients! Luckily we can get the nutrients back and put them on our veges. That's being sustainable. Nothing goes to waste.

Next week we're looking forward to growing
our own seeds and finding out about the mini beasts that help our garden.

  1. Enviro is the highlight of our week. The children are so enthusiastic about everything that you have talked to them about! Great job!
