Room+6

=**__ Room 6- 2013 __**= Room 6 children are happy to have some Radishes growing in their class planter box. With the long dry hot Autumn, room 6 are surprised that the Radishes actually grew. They are planning to grow some yummy winter vegetables so that they can make a nice hot meal at the end of the term. Hmmmm, yummy. I wonder what they will grow.....  =**__ Room 6's Enviro Space __**=

=__** Term 4 **__= =__Wk 7__= == Sadly this post brings the news that our capsicum shoots passed away. Our hypothesis is that either the snails or the sun got to them! Luckily thanks to one of our Mum's and Mr Armstrong's planting expertise, we have another strawberry plant to replace it. Here's hoping we grow some strawberries to enjoy soon. ==

=__Wk 5__= ==In our flower box, we now have some lovely strawberries growing and some shoots of capsicum. We are really enjoying being responsible for our plants, and some of us help Miss Bhave water them twice a day.==

==Room 6 is making good improvements in making sensible choices with our rubbish and thinking about which of the four bins our rubbish is going into. We are also trying to cut down the use of tissues as a class.==

below is the planter box as of now
=__** 15/11/2012 (Thursday) **__= ==For writing today, we took a walk outside to our planter box to check how our plants were getting on. We did some descriptive recounts on our experience including what we could see, smell and feel. Miss Bhave and us as a class were really proud of our stories!==

=__Here are our amazing descriptions. Check them out below...__=

Heidi said, “Look I found a huge big humongous larva rock!” The leaves felt funny and prickly. Zahra
