Seaweed

Today we have been outside washing and identifying our seaweed.  We found lots of different types including Sea Lettuce, Kelp and Oar Weed.  We are hoping to use the Seaweed to fertilise our plants.  Again our focus was on collaboration.  Whilst exploring our garden we spotted lots of plants dispersing their seeds, including apples and berries.

 

Seaweed

Today we gathered lots of different types of seaweed from the beach. The meta-skill we focused on was collaboration.  Even more collaborative skills were seen at the end when everyone worked together to build a giant dam!  We looked carefully at the adaptations different types of seaweed have and will investigate further  as we identify each type.

Flower Hunt

The first day of primary 7 has brought sunshine.  Our topic for this term is plants.  We brainstormed some ideas about what we wanted to find out.  We have spent the afternoon finding different flowering plants, some have been flowering since June and some have recently started flowering.  We dissected some of the abundant flowers to find out more about how they reproduce.
