Bats, Bees, and Butterflies Camp 2013: Week 1, Day 5

Hello Peppers!

It was our last day of camp and we ended it with lots of fun things!

Today was pond day so we took some time to learn about things that are around and in the pond. We went on a scavenger hunt!

We even went to the garden to recap all the things we learned from the week. The Peppers thought growing things in the toilet was so silly!

 

The Red Peppers talk about what plants need to grow.

In garden kitchen we made sushi with real seaweed! We made sticky rice and used carrots and cucumber as filling too. We made our popsicles for our afternoon snack too.
