As part of our classroom programme we have regular focused time on the 'Edible Garden'

We have been hard at work, looking at how we can manage and contribute to the Edible Garden. 

Earlier in the year we looked at, discussed, researched and created an Action Plan for our class Kaitiaki (COMPOST)

We have now got to the stage where we are using our Compost to provide valuable nutrient for the Edible Garden.

Today we went out to the garden to initiate discussion on how we can contribute to the success of the garden.

Then in the classroom, In groups, we discussed what needs to be done. (In the garden and in the classroom)

This information was collated. Then an action plan produced.
