Our class planter box

Look at our planter box - there were only weeds in there till Whaea Bev took them all out.


Then we all got a turn to plant something with  Whaea Bev's help.

We wanted the planter box to look like a rainbow so Whaea Angela bought lots of  plants wih different coloured flowers.

This is what our planter box looks like now- we can't wait for it to grow and flower.

A big thank you to Irirongo for the fantastic photos she took and Whaea Bev for helping us.
