Gardening 2006

From the start of September there has been a lot of gardening going on all around the school. There was a lot of work to do but we got it done eventually. In the teachers car park there was some overgrown plants but we got them to look pretty again! All the children who helped did a really good job. In October some classes planted flowers like polyanthus, ivy, cyclamen and winter pansy. Other classes put mulch around the flowers. Our hands got very dirty!. We also planted lots of different bulbs in the quad like daffodils, tulips and lilies. The teachers and lots of parents were admiring the lovely work we did. Take a look at them when you walk past them!

The area behind the teachers' car park has been completely cleared!
In October we planted lots of bulbs and flowers . Afterwards we covered the soil with mulch.
We like to watch our flowers growing!
The lovely daffodils brought a smile to everyone's face! Gardening 2007 Back in November we planted dwarf tulips. Everyone brought theirs home and we had some left over so Ms. O'Donoghue brought us outside to plant them. We also had a hyacinth in our classroom. Before we planted them outside we had them on the windowsill so they could get sun and air. We carried the plants outside. Laura planted the hyacinth. Aoife R, Kitty, Becky, and I planted the dwarf tulips. We planted the flowers near the car park and in the 1st and 2nd class yard. We weeded the flower beds. Ms. O'Donoghue showed us lovely flowers. She showed us irises, crocuses, daffodils and cyclamens. We saw a lot of worms as well. We learned that flowers need air , sun, soil and water to live. Now the flower beds look very pretty. by Susannah R. 4th class
