Tuesday the 17.2.2015 we had our first Garden lesson. We learnt the rules of the Garden such as don’t pick something unless you are asked and don’t eat something unless you are asked to.
We were given a clipboard and a piece of paper to write down the types of fruit and veggies that we knew, and the ones we saw. We all knew plenty of fruit and veggies.
After that we went and sat in the shade and discussed some of the fruit and veggies that we had written down that we knew.
Lastly we went for a silent walk and our teacher Miss Angell pointed to the plants and asked us to name them:
lettuce, eggplant, beetroot, pears, tomatoes, olive trees, onions, thyme (herb), capsicum, zucchini, pumpkin, pineapple sage, strawberries, rhubarb , edible flowers, corn, Cucumber, fig tree, lemon, watermelon and basil.
Two people collected the eggs from the chickens. Sometimes we will be able to take the chickens to the day run and take them back. Unfortunately Ang, our teacher for garden, was sick so our teacher taught us. It was amazing fun.
I’m sure we are going to really enjoy doing gardening all year.
