Incredible Edibles

May 9th, 2014

Before our Easter holidays, we planted two potatoes.

On arriving back to school, we were greeted with lovely sight! Our potatoes had commenced growing over the holidays! Amazing what can happen in just 2 weeks!

We decided to transplant one potato into a bigger pot and leave inside the school.

We put our second potato outside in our school garden.

We will continue to watch our potatoes to see what happens!
