The Term
Two Environment Team has begun their work in earnest by tackling
a problem with the Compost Bin. It seems that fruit scraps which are put into
the Crunch & Sip buckets make it too heavy for the students to be able to
spin the barrel! They are requesting that fruit be cut into pieces, especially
whole apples, or a different choice of fruit be sent with the students, e.g.
bananas and mandarins, which are conveniently encased in their own soft skins.
The Orchard, received an addition of a Flowering Cherry Tree, donated
by Mrs Brandwood (Lukas - Stage 2 and Kaelen - Stage 1) and appreciated by all
students! Thanks to Mr Fuller for the correct placement and planting of the
tree! It will need regular watering and care and the students will see to that,
as they do, with the other plants in the garden!
