Wow, we have collected a lot of leaves!

On Monday 23rd of May, Room 7 made compost in our class with natural materials. Our teacher divided us into four groups. Soane, Xyril, Mana and I were leaders.

My group and I headed outside to get brown leaves. We filled our plastic bag with lots of brown leaves. After that, our teacher called us to go back to the classroom to help the other groups.

When we were all back in class, Soane's group was using safety scissors to cut the yellow banana skins. Xyril's group was tearing up old newspapers and making sure that there weren't any ink or paint on them. When we were finished, we had to tidy up our classroom because there were small pieces of bananas and torn up newspapers on the floor.

After that, we filled our compost container with the bananas and the newspaper. Lastly our teacher gave us a trowel and a garden fork so that we could all take turns to rotate(turn) the layers.
