Chateau School diplomats are excited to be taking care of their own tropical forest, with five different kinds of trees.
By gently scratching the surface of a lime, diplomats can smell the fresh citrus on their finger. By cleaning the leaves of the pineapple guava tree, diplomats learn that no one leaf is the same as any other. By looking up at the banana leaves, already more than two metres high, diplomats are amazed to see how big the leaves are. They are looking forward to seeing how the olive tree and blueberry plant will change in the coming seasons.
Diplomats are responsible for their own garden where they planted vegetable and herb seeds, including those for strawberries, carrots, tomatoes, basil, lettuce, and radish. Each diplomat’s name can be seen in the garden, indicating which plant is theirs, as they have taken on the responsibility of starting each day watering their plants.
