Maths in the Garden

3/3/2017

​In the Sustainability lesson this week, LGA students had fun estimating and measuring the
height of the huge sunflowers that are growing in the garden. The largest sunflowers, planted
last December by Thomas and Connor, currently measure 190 centimetres. They are still
growing, so we can’t wait to see how much taller they will grow.
