This term our topic is Africa. We have been using a lot of resources from a charity website, where we found instructions and kits to make African sack gardens. They are very simple to make and just by Mrs Bianbridge buying them, we have helped the charity.

We read the instructions on the website and then everyone chose a role to help create a group sack garden. It was a lovely sunny afternoon and we chose to put the gardens on the decking, where they would get plenty of rain and sunshine.

We created a column of stones in the middle surrounded by compost. Then we planted rocket, bean and beetroot seeds. We have to use our knowledge from Science to help us grow a healthy plant and we make sure the seeds have everything they need to grow into some vegetables for us.

Today we got excited because we have started to see green shoots appear!
