This school year 2014 – 2015 we have started a new project:
our own School Garden. Pupils proposed names for the garden,
pictures for the logo and some rhymes for the slogan.
And the winner is … Lazarillo’s Garden (Unfortunately the slogan has
more sense in Spanish)
Our garden is ecological and we have used some recycled materials to make it. However, we are
not so smart and still need some help. There is a person who helped us with the patches, to
prepare compost, to plant the seeds and who told us how to water and look after everything:
Interviewer: Good morning Jacinto. Tell us, what do you
do?
Jacinto: I am a gardening teacher and I teach children with
some kind of disability.
I: How long have you been teaching gardening?
J: About 15 years
I: How many children are you teaching now?
Jacinto
J: Nowadays I am teaching gardening to a group of ten
children aged 16-21. This school year we are helping you
because it is your first time but next year you are going to
grow these vegetables on your own.
COMPOST
I: Thanks for your help Jacinto.
We have planted:
beans, canons, spinach and garlic
We have:
- measured the
separation between
the seeds
- planted the seeds
- watered the seeds
- prepared compost
- done a scarecrow
