Our Daily Diary

Little Garden Written by Tayla and Olive On Tuesday the eleventh of October Room 12 planted our little gardens. First we got put into pairs and they decided who would be the chooser and who would be the opener.The chooser would break the mud pellet in half and put one of the halves inside the pot.Then they poured fifty mills of water inside the pot and then patted the soil down until it wasn't watery any more. Once the soil was firm they softly patted down the seed mat and then put the second mud half in and pour the last fifty mills in the pot and pat it down and once it is not watery then put the label in and put the pot in the plastic holder.On Friday nothing had come and in the weekend nothing had come but on Monday when we came to school both Rocket and Cress had sprouted. Now thanks to the hot warm weather and the Watercress, the Rocket, Cress and Radish have sprouted. And there is much more to come!
