Senior infants are taking part in the Innocent 'Big Grow' challenge. Last week we received paper cups, compost discs, cress seeds, pea seeds and baby carrot seeds. This is all we need to grow our own vegetables in class! We each placed a compost disc in a paper cup, added some water, mixed the compost and water together and then added seeds of our choice. Each morning when we get into school we check our paper cups to see how our vegetables are getting along and to make sure our soil is still moist.

After one week the cress stems have started sprouting from the soil. Clara's cress has grown the tallest so far, she is our first 'star grower'!
