King of Compost and a New Design

 Yesterday Joel and Frida went to the Botanical garden in Göteborg to work together with two school calsses, from 1st and 2nd grade in primary, to learn more about composts. We also wanted to look at how the pedagogues at the garden worked when teaching about plant, nature and composts. Together with the children we got to look at the different insects, worms and spiders that live in the compost. The kids also used the nutritious soil from the compost to plant sun-flowers but the most fun part was to help build the king of compost. When tha compost man had got his head and his last arm we all got to be part of the ceremonious crowning of 'The King of Compost'.

Today we have been working hard with the model we built last week to create a good and beautiful school yard at St. Joseph Secondary School. With the help of sketch paper, glue and sticks we tried to build our future vision of the school yard in scale 1:50. We have been looking at what rooms and structures the students and the teachers at the school asked for when we talked to them and also how we can create them by using the tools from the toolbox we put together. We hope that everybody at the school will like what we come up with!
