Growing our ideas about plants

What a beautiful day for our trip to Auckland Botanic Gardens! The sun was shining and the cherry blossom certainly let us know that spring has sprung! We will share what we saw and learnt about the different plants on our blogs over the next few days.

Back in Room 10!

Now that the senior block at Ruapotaka has been reopened, we are excited to have returned to Room 10 to find our usual desks and things.  Alex is pleased to be reunited with her glasses which have been in her desk since 6th September!  It is fantastic to see how much our garden has grown while we were away too!

Frosted curls and a golden star

Despite today being the shortest day of 2016, we finally replanted our Room 10 garden! We read the information labels, planned our plot and measured the distance between each plant. Lots of digging, lots of earth and lots of smiles as we watched our garden take shape. We will water and watch to see how our native grasses and other plants grow. The coprosma, Golden Star, reminds us of Matariki.
