Weed identification

On Tuesday 24th of April, the T1 boys went to Nitmiluk to work on our site.
Before we begin to spread native grass seed, we had to identify and remove the weeds.
We found:

• Hyptis
• Wild passionfruit
• Missongrss
• Sida Acuta
• Sida Cordifolia
• Wild Gooseberry
• Sicklepod

Why do plants have roots?

A lot of a plant's body is below the ground.
This is the root system.
4 jobs that roots do
Store food for the plant to grow.
Anchor the plant into the ground.
Some roots prouide food for us to eat, such as carrot.
Provide enough food for the plant to reproduce

The Earth needs plants

Plants are very important living things.
They provide shade and shelter for people and other animals. Trees planted along streets and around houses make our towns better places to live in.

They give us building materials, clothing, paper and medicines.
Plants are also important becase they help to make rain. They pump water out of the soil and return it to the.
atmosphere.
