They also transplanted the baby carrot seedings into one of the other raised beds because half of these were knocked over by a soccer ball hitting their container outside Miss Raven's classroom at lunchtime! We hope some of them will survive! Grow carrots grow!
On Thursday before school and at lunchtime Liam, Bella and Leo helped to plant 20 of the the bean seedlings that we grew last term, one at the base of each bamboo pole.
After planting the seedlings and watering them, we watered our seed potatoes and strawberries which are continuing to grow well.
On Friday after school the plants for the Birchwood School and BIrchwood Kindergarten Action Learning Project were delivered. We are really looking forward to planting these in our grounds and watching them grow as we do!
Here are our new fruit trees arriving on the back of the truck.
We are really fortunate that a member of staff has donated an extra $200 so we were able to purchase more fruit trees than we were originally going to be able to buy!
Hopefully each class will help Mr Gillions plant one of these fabulous fruit trees in the next couple of weeks.
This term at Birchwood School our Social Science Inquiry is called 'We are Family'.
The big question we are asking is: "How do we make our community special?"

We hope that by seeing their desire to have more fruit trees at our learning centre realised, by helping choose which type of trees are being planted,
by helping plant them and by taking care of them Birchwood students will feel empowered by this Action Learning Project.
With luck, some of these students will one day have children of their own who will attend our learning centres and they will be able to tell them how they helped to plant these fruit trees and make our Birchwood School and Kindergarten community special.
