Something of an Anti-Climax
After working our bums off for nearly 7, that's right guys 7 months we finally finished the project today. The folder was put together completly and submitted, to something of an anti-climax. We hand delivered it to Eco-Unesco, the people in charge of the competition and they were just like, "thankyou for the project"
And that was all.
And no, it's not as if I was expecting like, confetti to fall from the ceiling or anything. I just expected it to be a bigger deal.
I will admit to you, when we put the last things into the folder, I could have cried. And then we all kind of turned into that weird guy from the Lord of the Rings and just didnt want to share the folder with anybody else.
It was like,
Charlotte: Katie gimme the folder.
Katie: No.
Charlotte: Gimme the folder.
Katie: Do I have to?
Charlotte: Yes.
Katie: Fine.... *hands over folder*
Hopefully we'll get somewhere in the porject, maybe even place in it, which would be AMAZING.
Anyway kids, I think the next thing that will be happening will be the Planting Day, which I will update you all on as it comes nearer.
Speak soon

Garden Hunt
Oh god, so we had our meeting, we all met at three and proceeded to the secret meeting location. For the first two hours we didn;t really do much, mostly ate sweets and samichs. But around five we actually got started.
We got soooo much done, at this stage I think all of the writing for the project is finished, we just need to meet avec Mr Gleeson and get him to have a look through it. >< That's gonna take suchhhh a long time. Then it's print, bind and all that jazz, and we need to get it into the Eco-Unesco people by Firday, which shouldnt be too hard since they're just across the river from us.
Anyhow, I'll update you all some more tomorrow.
kisses and huggles.

So much to write about, so little time to write.
As usual I must begin with an apology for lack of updates, we've been uber busy since the arrivar of the soil.
We decided that we actually are going to enter this competition, which means that we ahve to type out sooooooo much stuff, (on the first night I did like 3000 words.) So that's why we've not been around.
In other news, it's Midterm, but despite this, we intend to meet up today, to get the project sorted. I think it shows how dedicated we are to the project that each one of us (except one girl who's away for the week and obviously cannot attend) is going to be at this meeting today. A basic plan has been drawn up for what we need to do.
An update on what happens at the meeting will be posted later.

- Write up a contents page and make it pretty. However, we first need to establish the set up of our little folder. Plan A!
- Write up a bibliographyof all the websites we used - thats kinda essential appartently
- Decide on a date to meet Mr. gleeson and decide what to wear ;)
- Establish that i was kidding on the last one
- Work collectively on the "future of the garden" section and try to meet two pages at least.
- Eat cake and be happy :D

The soil arrived!
A quick revision. The previous suppliers were very unprofesional and we ordered the soil from another source. It was more expensive but they took it seriously.
When we heard Mr.Gleeson saying 'The lorry is here everyone stood up, grabbed their shovels and run out :) It was a lot of hard work. The box looks great!It took us a few hours to get everything finished and clean. Nicole made up a game using the rocks we took out of the soil. It is called 'Kabooshka' :) Here are some pictures showing the amazing work we did.
