As part of our topic of Caring for Populations, the Grade 3/4s were presented with the hypothetical situation of a zombie apocalypse. As a band of survivors living in the school ground, student had to work their way through the problem of surviving long term. Each of the classes eventually realised that food would be a big issue and thought that turning one or both of the ovals into a farm would be better than eating canned food. This led to much discussion about whether the quality of soil on the ovals would be good enough to grow plants on so the students have been experimenting to find out. Using the abandoned garden beds behind the canteen, students planted some radish seeds in the poor quality soil there as well as some seeds in fresh potting mix to act as their control.
