LI - We are learning to look after our environment by adopting a koha garden
We have been very lucky to have Mrs Robertson, the gardening guru, with us this year. We have been learning how to weed and water the garden. We also learnt how to grow vegetables from our koha garden. We grew many kinds of vegetables - kale, spinach, strawberries, tomatoes, potatoes, cabbage and more! We made kale chips and spinach dips and tried some of our vegetables fresh!
As part of our Under the Sea inquiry, we explored the affects of pollution on sea creatures. Freddy the Fish was a happy fish swimming through the clean water. He noticed that the ocean was starting to change. The water was getting warmer and there were more obstacles in his way. Freddy swam through... soil from erosion, fertilisers, sun off, salt, acid rain, oil from cars and rusty metal. Freddy was not well. We realised that he won't survive long in the sea with all these pollutants contaminating our oceans.
