Botanic Gardens

Last Thursday Rooms 16 18 and 20 went to Botanic Garden to learn about recycling and how to make a worm farm.

First there was a man called Paul. He took us into the forest then he laid down a mat and it had pictures of birds and insects. Paul told us how the FBI eat the the leaves. First he said they chew chew then they poo poo poo and they rot rot rot.  The FBI stand for fungus bacteria and invertebrates.

Then he took us into the children's garden to show us how to make a food garden.

It was called a compost heap. We had to lay a black mat first. Then we put on some greens, browns and coffee. After that we had to mix it.

After we  made our garden we went to to a lady called Sarah. She showed us how to make a worm farm. It was so easy. All we had to do  was put in a river stone. Then we put on a black mesh and some small stones and a green mesh, then some strips of wet newspaper. Then we had to look at the worms. Next we put in worms, then cut up worm food. Then we put a  mat  that was carpet on top. Then we took it apart.

I was really happy because I haven't  been there  in ages and my favourite part was going in the Forest.
