Room 5's trip to the Eco drop

On Thursday room 5 went to the the Bromley Eco drop to learn about composting. We all went there in parents cars and it was great that they gave up their time to come and help with the trip. When we got there we met the two teachers Chris and Katie.First they taught us what the ingredients were to make compost. The ingredients were warmth,air,microorganisms,carbon,nitrogen and water. Then we went to a big compost bin and made some compost. After that we scooped it out into another bin to see all the steam that was trapped underneath the compost. we had a break after that to eat morning tea and refuel.after morning tea we made a fertiliser called EM bokashi. To make that we added bran,sawdust,EM1 and Molasses.  We did that in groups of three and then equally split it up so we could all have some.We then vacuumed packed it and wrote our names on the bags. The trip then came to an end we all thanked Chris,Katie and the mums who took us there and then we went back to school. Most people enjoyed the trip and had a great time.
