Growing seeds

By -
Today we planted some seeds. We planted capsicum, sunflower and pea seeds.
We had to use special soil called Seed Raising Mix. This soil has nutrients in it to help the seeds grow healthy.
We put some soil into containers and then we planted the seeds. We poked a finger into the soil so we knew how deep to put the seed. We used the watering can to water the seed containers.
Next we tricked the sun..... (Ha! Ha! Ha!) We covered the containers with plastic bags and put paper on top. This will keep the seeds warm and make them think it is time to start growing.
When our plants have grown we might give some of our plants to other classes and we will grow the plants in the Kitchen Garden.

We made it go fast and it started dragging us. Then we went the other way. It was hard because the water was pushing us back. When we finished the water was pushing us along.

This week is the beginning of our Quad Blogging.  This is a great way to connect with other classes around the world. It is when you have other classes around the world that are your friends.
