“Our Growing Business” by a year 6 student

We started our business off by selling seedlings we bought and raised
for several months during school. We made recycled newspaper pots to
grow them in and we started a roster for watering.


After a few months we sold a heap of these little seedlings to people
who wanted to start their own little garden. We raised 100 dollars in
that fundraiser but we need some more support which is why we are
selling these huge lemons for 1 dollar each. With all the support we get
we are going to help all the year 6’s to camp in Tallebudgera.

We thank you in advance for your support.

The project to raise seedlings was designed and run by year 6 student.

During planning they came up with every aspect of growing: ‘Where to get seedlings?’, ‘What to put them in?’, ‘Where to place them?’ (as you can see: in the class room – outside some naughty kids or animals might harm them), ‘What to sell them for?’, ‘How to get the seedlings home safely?’ and of course ‘Who should look after them and water them?’.
