The ‘Greening my School’ Project is a CIP for 2A. First, we were put into groups to grow our own plants. We had to discuss and decide as a group about the types of plants suitable to grow in our plots, which are located near the canteen. After deciding, we obtained the seeds and started to plant them into separate pots first. After planting them, we had to water them regularly and pull out the weeds that might have grown in the pots.
When our individual plants have grown into seedlings, we transferred them to our groups’ plots. We arranged them in neat rows and patterns and watered them regularly. At this stage, many weeds will grow so we have to pluck them out. Weeds are growths that fight with our plants for nutrients and sunlight. Our plants might die if we do not pluck out the weeds.
This project is a new experience for me as I have never did much gardening at home, except to water the plants. It taught me to be responsible and tend to my plants and plot in order to keep them looking nice and green. It will be a waste if they are not managed properly, because we have to discard them and grow new ones all over again.
Although the soil made our hands dirty contained lots of critters like earthworms, I had fun managing the plots with my friends. We found out new ways to rearrange the plants in our plot to make it look more presentable. Oh, and I also found out that I’m rather good at gardening. Maybe I should make it my hobby? (:
