Botanic Gardens

Last Thursday, Rooms 16, 18 and 20 went to the Botanic gardens because  it would be great for us to learn about nature and recycling.

We had to walk for 5 minutes to walk to a little garden. We could hear lovely noises. I could hear animals croaking and the wind blowing and trees howling. It was a very long and hot day. Luckily my dad was here to carry me but my mum was just there to get fit.

At the Botanic Gardens  we went with this guy named Paul who showed us how to make compost with coffee, brown leaves, twigs, green leaves and horsepower of poo. We also made compost. It was stinky yuk.

Then we switched over to Sarah. she taught us how to make a worm farm with worms, a little mat, food and stones and that's it. How to make it. First you get a bucket then you get a large river stone and put it in the bucket. After that you put black mesh in the bucket.Next you get some small stones and put them in the bucket as well. Then you get green mesh and also put it in the bucket. Meanwhile put in some wet ripped strips of newspaper. Then you get a magnifying glass and have a look at the worms. And then you put the worms in the bucket. Next, then you put in little strips of food.

It would be nice if the whole family could come with us but at least my mum and dad came.
