We found out that many people use compost to improve their soil, so we did an investigation into compost.
We learned about green matter and brown matter.
We learned that some things are bio-degradable and can go into the compost.
(Biodegradable means it can be broken down by bacteria or other living things, to end up as part of the soil.)
We learned that some things are bio-degradable but should not go into the compost,
such as dairy products, meat, and diseased plants.
We learned that some things are not bio-degradable, and they should definitely not go into the compost,
such as plastics.

Now we've made our own compost mix.
Can you see the layers?
We will watch our bucket of food scraps, soil, leaves and sheep manure.
We expect to see it break down and change.
Do you make compost?
Where do you make it?
What do you put in it?
What do you do with the compost?
Love this post. Well done Year 2/3 and Mrs McKenzie & Mrs W. Appreciate your work!
