YAY we could finally plant! After the gardens were built it rained....and rained...and rained...and rained... for a whole week! We weren't sure if it would ever stop!
Then finally Thursday afternoon we sure something yellow in the sky...the SUN! We ran over to Room 1, the new entrant classroom because we wanted to buddy up with them and garden!
Taliah and Nepia position the plants in the correct gardens. Then after Miss Casey demonstrating how to plant, we grabbed a wee buddy (cute) and planted the veges! It was fantastic! It was so much fun! We were finally able to plant our vegetable garden!!!
We had almost finished planting then...pat pat pat...RAIN!
The little tots ran inside, and Miss Casey and a couple of children quickly placed the mini hot houses ontop of the plants! These hot houses are recycled water bottles (1.5litre containers) cut in half. They allow the sun and rain to get through, but stop the nasty wind and frost!
But then after school Miss Casey realised that we forgot to put the little windows on some of the hot houses.. with the heavy rain Miss Casey and Clayton worked outside cutting the recycled bottles and placing them back overtop of the plants - slightly wet at the end of it!
Here's some of our photos from our exciting day!
We can't wait to see them grow!
The reason on why we put the hot houses on is so.The plants can stay protected when it is cold and frosty. And the bottles have little holes in them because they need oxygen and fresh air to breath while being protected.
