Herb Posies

'Money doesn't Grow on Trees'  was our Inquiry Unit theme this term.

But Room 15 discovered that trees/plants we grow ourselves can save us money.

The amazing chalk drawings of our individual Posies from herbs we grew ourselves.

Happy we have grown these herbs with care and attention, I wonder how they will taste in our food?

Can you identify these common herbs? How many of these do you have growing in your garden at home?

A Herb Posie made for Principal Pippa

As you can see we captured lots of detail and used lines and shading when completing our chalk drawings.
Look at the amazing artists we have in Room 15

Here we decorate our herb garden container with Pukekos

Firstly we added fresh soil to anchor and feed our herbs

Everyone wanted to get involved.....

adding a scoop of soil per person and planting our herbs

Our herbs growing in the light of the classroom window.  After a few days we had to move our container outside because the plants were not getting enough light.

Many hands make light work and we had so much fun 'mucking in'
