Mud monsters

On Thursday 20^th March, Mud Monsters came to our kindergarten. Mel and Kate introduced us to some interesting facts about our garden.

What's in a garden?

• Tristan - Plants
• Sapphire - Worms
• Ishi - Flowers
• Angus - Watering, now and again
• Thisen - Cover with soil
• Ryan - Big flowers
• Pierson - Sun
• Lincoln - Seeds

We looked at some compost which had worms in it and discussed the Compost cycle and the importance of the recycling process.                        

Cow poo was added to our garden and Mel explained that it was like giving our plants and vegetables a vitamin boost (even though it’s smelly!)   

 

We sang a worm song and learnt a poem about a seed.

   

                                  

 

We planted various herbs and vegetables including Bok Choy,Silverbeet, Oregano, Chives and Cauliflower.

 

Each day we will check our garden to see if we need to water it and keep a watch out for anything that is ready to be picked.

                                                                     

Mel and Kate gave each of us a certificate of participation.
