Our greenhouses!

The Clever Kiwis have been very busy gardening this term and in week 8 we made our own greenhouses. We had to buddy up and choose what we were going to plant. There were spring onions, lettuces and brocolli. We then planted them in a plastic bottle with soil and blood and bone. We gave them a water then cellotaped the top of the bottle back on. We kept the lid on really tight. We put the greenhouses in the sun and waited to see what heppened. The sun was meant to make the greenhouse really warm and produce condensation which would feed the plant. BUT... this did not happen. The plants started to go mouldy and hairy so we cut them open and put them in our class garden!
