Year 1 What do seeds need to grow?

 Rooms 1 & 2 investigated how we can grow beans in the new Mara Kai. 

We looked at a bean close up and wondered what a seed needs to grow.

Next, we prepared our soil just like Fredge did in the story

We added compost to the soil so that the soil has 

nutrients to help our seeds grow.

The rain came down so we drew pictures of our mascot Fredge.  We're wondering how we can turn our drawings into scarecrows to protect our Mara Kai.

Can your tamariki name four things seeds need to grow?

Next time we're looking forward to learning about how eating a rainbow of fruits and vegetables fuels up our bodies for learning.
