GROWING PLANTS FOR A GOOD CAUSE

Dear all,

The students in the Second Cycle (Primary 3 & 4) have been chosen to grow a plant each (preferably a type of vegetable (Primary 4) or Sunflower seeds (Primary 3). Once they have grown we can continue to participate with `Eic Càritas´ that was launched with Mr Marc last term.
So, our first step is to first think about what type of vegetable everyone would like to grow and secondly, we should make a list of what everyone will plant.
Hopefully, we should have our seeds (and our original pots!) in by Friday and start our project then!

Here are some ideas to help you out!
