We had to do some maths first though!
We had to count how many spaces there were to plant the seeds in.
Then we had to count how many seeds there were and work out how many to plant in each space.
Luckily both Eli and Liam are good at maths!
They worked out there were 24 spaces (2X12) and that we needed to plant two seed in each of them as the packet said it contained approximately 50 seeds (2X24=48). Great work boys!
Counting the seeds and spaces.
Making holes for the seeds with a pencil!
Planting the seeds.
Holly and Amelia planted pea seeds into the recycled news paper seedling containers that Maddison, Indigo, Rebecca and Ela made before school.
They also used pencils to make their 5cm deep holes.
Great job all of you...
Now we are looking forward to watching the seeds sprout and grow inside our seedling house in Room 7.
We wonder which will sprout first, the capsicum or the peas...
Here are our tomato seedings in our seedling house.
They will be big enough to go into the garden soon...
Mr Gillions is going to help us put up a wooden frame up on one of our raised beds
that we can tie string on for the plants to grow up.
Our potatoes keep growing and GROWING and GROWING!!!
Hopefully we might get some nice new potatoes before the end of term.
Our two surviving strawberry plants are slowly growing too.
We might have to wait until next year before we see any strawberries on them!
