Over the past two terms, Year 8 Technology Mandatory have been looking at Food and Agricultural Technologies. We have been learning about the growth of plants and their lifecycle. In order for us to learn this process, we were given an opportunity to plant a variety of seedlings in ‘The Grange’, including yellow tomatoes, eggplants and chili seedlings. Over several weeks we have been observing the progress our plants have made and how they have grown. We have experienced many challenges such as pests and heavy rain causing the plants to drown. We managed to overcome these challenges, through use of organic pesticides, limiting watering and general weeding. We have enjoyed seeing our plants grow over the weeks and overcoming the challenges of growing them.
