St Patricks in Botanic Gardens

In our school our gardens were being eaten by foes, it was an appropriate time for us to have a trip to Botanic Gardens in Auckland New Zealand.
Our teacher at Botanic gardens said that garden sprays that gets rid of the foes are not ideal so we were taught instead how to make a spray that will kill the foes.


We were learning about what attracts friends to our gardens. The spray that was made that day was called Sucker Sauce, it's a weird name but the lady said it works so we just went with it. We were lucky enough to plant our own plant in their little garden where we were learning at. Our learning area was far away from where we had our lunch and morning tea, we had to go over a bridge to get there.


After learning about our friends and foes we got to finally make the Sucker Sauce. We only needed a little bit of ingredients it just included soap and water, to be honest it was pretty easy to make. After making the sucker sauce we planted our own plant by ourselves, well I needed help because I don't really know how to plant anything!

After our learning session we were supposed to leave Botanic Gardens exhausted but when we got to school everyone was hyped like they ate a bunch of chocolates and ran and jumped on the playground.
