The picture was… GRASS SEED!
Thanks to some help from our super EIT teachers, this afternoon we made a grass buddy.
At first we were a bit worried that when the grass began to grow it would not be able to poke through the cloth holding the seed and potting mix, but then we spotted little holes in the cloth. We'll watch carefully and observe the growing process in action.
We will have to take care of our buddies so they grow a great head of grass hair.
I wonder how long it will take before the seeds start to grow?
And why did Mrs Perry put the seed into water?
What do you think?

That looks like a fun activity Room 10, I hope the grass starts to grow soon. Did you know that seeds know which way is up? When they are under the ground they need to grow the right way to get to the light. :) I wonder how they know?
ReplyDeleteWhat a great question Kelly. It really got us all thinking… How do seeds know which way to grow? This is something we all want to find out more about.
Deletewe loved the way that the EIT teachers helped us make our own grass buddys. thanks a lot to the EIT teachers who helped. Bianca and Mathias

I hope my grass buddy grows some hair, otherwise I might have to call him or her Baldy!
DeleteThe new grass buddies are going great! Nina and I named our grass buddies Pinkey and Linkey. I can't wait until our grass buddies grow hair. It is going to be super great! By Shekinah and Bona
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! I hope we get to keep him at home when you are done. I am looking forward to seeing if there are any hairdressers in the class and to see what amazing hair cuts the buddies will have. Dont forget to keep putting water in the cup so the grass will keep on growing.
ReplyDeleteI like our new grass buddies. I cant wait to see their hair grow.

Is the hair on your buddy growing now Bostyn? I hope so! Mine is getting quite long and it's a lovely bright green colour. I'm not sure what hair style my buddy will have yet.
DeleteHope the grass is growing well. I'm guessing you will all have your grass buddies for company during the holidays? May be a good time to create a hair style! Hmmmm ....that could be tricky... would curling tongs work?!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for letting me help you make your grass buddies Room 10! I had so much fun! I can't wait to see how they are looking.

It sounds like everyone is enjoying growing their grass buddies, I can't wait to see them with a nice head of hair, and Jordan has told me they are getting dressed tomorrow, I wonder what the occasion is? From Anne (Jordan's Mum)
ReplyDeleteI cant wait to see all your grass buddies tomorrow, I hear you have all dressed them up! That sounds like a lot of fun.
