Visting the Botanic Gardens

Here are some recounts about our trip to the Botanic Gardens

On Wednesday the 22nd half of the Marshall Laing School went to the Botanical Gardens. I went to the Botanical Garden because I was learning about sustainability.

I was the photographer. After that we had a class room lesson. We learnt how to plant a seed. We also did some digging. I even saw a worm farm.

My favourite flower was the sharp plants and roses. The rose was red and orange.

I hope it will be sunny the next time I visit Botanical Gardens!

We went to the Botanic Gardens and we took some photos. We took cool and interesting photos. And we explored!

We got to the Botanic Gardens on the bus. Rooms 13, 12 and 14 went. We went on Wednesday.

We planted our own plants and we saw some signs. We learnt that plants need sunshine and water to grow. We saw a bird that was called: Pooh Power. Miss Towers joined our group. We saw beautiful flowers.

What sculptures did we see? Maori statues. Lots because the Botanic Gardens was having a sculpture display.

I spotted an eel in the stream and there was a hat in the pond.

Hey, Guess what? My class and I went to the Botanic Gardens on Wednesday. We went there so we could learn about plants. We went with two other classes and they were Room 14, 11, 13 and 2.

During the classroom lesson we used spades and we also put on gloves. We saw the life cycle of the bean plant. In the forest, we got lost!

I was exhausted as I slowly walked back on the bus.
