Planting Poppy seeds with Room 6 - Our Buddy Class

Today we worked with our buddy class to sow poppy seeds into a pot. 

We placed a soil pellet into a small container and covered it in water. When the soil had soaked up all of the water we sprinkled a few seeds into the top and then covered the seeds, 

We are hoping that some of the seeds will germinate so we can transplant these into a memory garden of poppies.

This year on October 12 we commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Passchendaele. On this day in 270 minutes 846 New Zealanders were killed and over 2000 were wounded.
