Ms. McLoughlin has some strawberry plants at home. Each strawberry plant has lots of little runners (plants) which will turn into strawberry plants next year. She brought lots of the little runners into school and we planted them into our own containers. Each of us has a container. They have names on them.
We put some compost into the container and then made a hole in the compost. The little strawberry plants were put into the hole in the compost, then covered with a little more compost.
Next we needed to water the plants. We decided to use recycled rain water to water the strawberries.
This means that we are saving water by not using water from the taps. Because we are a green school we are careful not to waste any water that we don't need. Lastly we washed our hands to keep ourselves clean and healthy. We can't wait to have a feast of strawberries next June!
