Caring for our environment

 Part of belonging and learning at Elm Park School, is learning to care for our environment. We thought our planter box was looking a bit boring and not very colourful. We decided to plant some new flowers to make it more interesting for us to look at.

We then chose our 3 favourite colours and made a graph to show the results.

We discovered that our classes most favourite colours were purple and pink. Orange was our second most favourite colour. 

Have a look at all the colourful plants we bought...

See us working together to create our gorgeous rainbow coloured garden below.

Some of us dug holes for the plants with the trowels. Other people carefully put the plants in the holes. Then other people had the messy job of patting the soil down. 

IT WAS A TEAM EFFORT.

Ka pai mahi!

Now we just have to remember to water it.
