This week Dylan and Frederick had an interview with the Principal, Mrs. Hohneck, asking for permission to carry out our 'Big idea'.
The interview went extremely well, but Mrs. Hohneck pointed out that we would have to find a way to make sure they are watered and looked after, especially in the holidays.
She also mentioned that she would have to talk to the BOT and make sure they give the 'all go.'
When we arrived to Horticulture on Wednesday the 8th, Mrs. Digweed showed us some YouTube videos on how we could paint the cans so that they would be water-proof and look nice for displaying. We couldn't find any great videos, but we tried.
After that, we were told our Science Award Badges had arrived and that we would have to complete Horticulture-based tasks and get a total of 20 stars to earn our badges. We decided to sow some of our herb seeds so that we all could earn our first two stars. We were all excited to receive our first stars. We planted Coriander and Chives.
What The Badges Look Like
The boys reading the Science Badge booklets
We have got some tins and are nearly at the stage of painting them. Katie did some research about which paint to use and Mrs Digweed is going to buy it at the weekend.
Our plots are progressing nicely and we are sure to have some vegetables growing in our plots very soon!
Some of us hard at work!

ReplyDeleteIf you need someone to water your herbs in the holidays maybe they can be left in the Hort area and the Suits and Gumboots Daycare kids could have a job to water them for you?
ReplyDeleteDear mrs kirkham
DeleteThank you for offer to water our herbs.We have automatic watering systems set up.There is something you can help us with.For us to gain our science badges,We need to teach another person the skill we have learned.Would it be possible to teach the day care and for them to come down to the School.
