To support their learning about caring for our school gardens, Hub 1 headed into the Christchurch Botanical Gardens to find out about worms and worm farms.

On Monday I went to the Botanical Gardens. We got there on the bus. The bus dropped us off. I was with Alex and Phoebe and Michelle and Alierfan. My favourite was the playground and the worm farm. Morgan Tizzard

On Monday we went to the Botanical Gardens on a bus. I was with Liam and Michael and Felix. I was at the museum and we went to the Curator's House to make a worm farm. Before I went to the Curator's House I went to have lunch. After lunch I went on the playground and then I did a scavenger hunt. Koden Liu
