Room 4 and the beanstalks update!

We went to the garden to check on our beanstalks!

Flowers are starting to grow on the plants!

 

We had to do some weeding!

Marigolds Update!

Our Marigolds from India which we planted in a window box in our class room are starting to grow much bigger! 

Our Garden is Growing!

Room 4 have been visiting the garden every week to see how it is growing! Our beanstalks are really growing now. We saw lettuce, potatoes, carrots, herbs, onions, beetroot, raspberries, strawberries and gooseberries all beginning to bloom!

Things are Looking Up in Room 2

Before the Easter holidays we planted daisies from India in a window box. We also planted some outside in the Secret Garden. It is time to check up in how they are growing.

Look in the window box. You can see the daisies are shooting up a little bit. This is fantastic!

We had a good look. Some of us had a chance to water the shoots.

 

Have a look at the growth in the Secret Garden. They are not growing as well. We think it's because it is still quite cold in the evenings.

This is the herb wheel in the garden. Room 2 and the other Junior Infant classes planted these herbs. We did a great job. They are growing well and they look fantastic!

Here are the herbs we planted in the garden.

Our Gheya is great in room 12!

Take a look at how our Gheya is growing inside our  classroom. We remember to water our seeds and to leave them in a bright area. We decided to leave them in the classroom to grow, because in India we know that Gheya grows well in warm weather. Even though it is Summer, it can still get cold in our school garden, especially at night!

Things are starting to grow in room 3!

When we came back after Easter we were delighted to see our hellichrysum  in our window box had started to grow a little bit!! Take a look and see.....

Take a look at how are  hellichrysum are doing in the school garden! 

We planted our polycress this week. We sprinkled the seeds in the soil and made sure to press the seeds down really gently!! We are going to take great care of this too just as we have done with our hellichrysum!

Gardening is so much fun!!
