Campbell Park Elementary School


Today in the garden at Campbell Park Elementary School, we learned about soil. The students talked about what they thought made up soil and then we went over the four major ingredients. These are ground up bedrock, organic matter, water, and air. We took a nice walk around the garden and looked at how soil changed depending on where it was in the garden. The soil in the garden bed was richer and hotter than the soil on the ground or in the compost pile. The kids said what they found in the dirt and compared the dirt from different places. The worms were still the most exciting part of the garden for the kids! Next week we get to learn about seeds!
