The classes have been looking at different reactions chemicals can have when mixed together.

WPS Soil Science

Hi. Our names are Ella, Ebony, Paul and Lily. We want to tell you what we are learning about our garden.

Damien, who is a soil scientist, has helped us understand how to plant peas and broccoli. Today we planted these vegetables in our garden with his help.

Check out our mind map of what we learnt today.

We will add posts to our blog when we meet together again to ask Damien questions about our garden.
