This year I decided to include an Agricultural and Horticultural Standard, AS91296. They need to design and create a Potager garden. Before we began this unit of work we headed down to the Paeroa Garden Centre. It was the first time I had taken a group of student's on a trip outside of the class. To ensure I did things correctly I spoke with my mentor and the teacher in charge of EOTC. I needed to complete the following information and consent form. As it was a low risk trip it was covered by the blanket consent from so didn't need permission from their parents. As the weather, was a bit hit and miss we took the school van.
The goal was to find out what plants they could include in a winter garden. There was lots of fantastic information and the student's were receptive to it. Some of the student's did need to be reminded to not touch things and when we were back in class we talked about some things we could do differently next time such as asking more questions, ensuring they had the right shoes and being respectful of their surroundings at all times.
