"Urban Garden" • Pat's Schoolhouse @ Aroozoo
We, the Nursery children at Pat’s Schoolhouse @ Aroozoo, embarked on a project to create our own garden and learnt more about the world around us while having fun!
Starting our Garden Project
Our parents helped us
to collect recycled
materials like bottles
and egg crates for
planting. Our teachers
provided organic soil
and garden tools.
We did a lot of
fun hands-on
activities! We
loosened the
soil in the egg
crates and
bottles, and
planted seeds
in them.
Caring for our plants
We labelled our plants and recorded their growth in our journals. We watered them every
day without fail.
We learnt that plants need space to grow. Our teachers got us thinking about what
would happen if our plants grew too big…We decided to move them to a new home!
First we re-potted them into a tub with soil…
Then others grew bigger too, so we “migrated” them to bigger spaces so that they can
continue to grow strong and healthy.
Celebrating the “fruits” (or rather, “vegetables”!) of our labour
We couldn’t wait to taste our
harvest!
We washed, peeled, sliced
and chopped the vegetables
we grew…
…and stirred them in a big
pot of soup very carefully.
Hmm hmmm. Look at our very
own vegetable soup from Pats’
Schoolhouse @ Aroozoo!
Enjoy!
