4C’s Kitchen Garden Session
When I walked into the fresh smelling garden there was a big surprise waiting for all of us. The chickens had finally arrived! Lucca

It was a sunny, late morning. I was excited after recess knowing I had a Garden lesson. When I walked in I saw a adults around the garden beds. Kevin and Steve were doing something in the chook pen and I saw some chickens. Julie discussed with us what we were doing today. Marley

As we were lining up to go into the chook shed I felt excited. Our teacher had to put her foot out so that the chickens wouldn’t escape. Sam and Marley tipped out a bag of food scraps for them to eat. I watched how one chicken stayed back because it was less dominant than the other three. Jessica
My group was in charge of taking the temperature of the soil. There was a piece of paper that we recorded the temperature on. All of the beds had a similar temperature because they were all next to each other. After we all got to plant one tomato seedling each. They were very small. Amber
Teacher Naomi read out what group was doing what. I am in Group Four, we had to plant the potatoes. We made a hole in the ground and put the eye of the potato facing up. Each potato had to be planted a hand span apart. Paris
In conclusion I had a really fun time. My highlight was that I got to meet the chickens. My dislike was that near the wooden soil tubs there was manure. The lesson today was FUN!
