Here Katie and Evelyn are working on the posters for our selling herbs.
Jordan, Eli and Dylan are also working on their posters
Fred, Carlos and Troydon and the rest of the class are potting our herbs we have grown from seed into the spraypainted tin cans that we prepared for selling.
We decided that instead of putting all of our plants for selling in a plastic crate we thought we could present our plants into a pellet shelf that Fred, Timothy, Taiva made.
We had to ask the wood work teacher to cut the pieces of wood to size but in the end we have a fantastic plant holder.
On Monday the weather was nice enough to get back out into the gardens and clean them up a bit. We got rid of most of the weeds but because of all the rain we had become overcome with weeds so unfortunately it means we need to do some more weeding!
On Tuesday we had Monique Dickson from Dairy NZ come to talk to us about Agriculture and what Agriculture is and the jobs in Agriculture her are a few photos below.
She told us to get in a line from milked 0 cows to about 1000 or more to find out what we new about dairy farming and who had experience of working on a farm.
We also had to get in line from most amount of dairy products consumed to least. I think the most was about 5 and it was only just lunchtime. It made us see how important dairy farming is in New Zealand.
She talked to us about her job and what Dairy NZ does. We learnt all about the different careers that are available in Agriculture.
