On Friday, we worked in groups of 2 or 3 to create our own rainforests (terrariums).

We began by putting a layer of gravel in the bottom of a 2l plastic bottle which had been cut in half.  We then sprinkled charcoal over the stones.  This helps to keep the environment in the bottle healthy for the plants.  We then put a layer of compost on the top.  Next, we planted Lady Fern seeds, Grass seed tall fescue seeds, Cacti and succulent seeds.  We then added 100ml of water and placed the top half of the bottle to seal the bottle and recreate the rainforest environment.  Finally we filled out the first page of our Terrarium diary.

We can’t wait to watch what happens next!!!
