The Pleasure of Gardening!

There is pleasure in gardening, e.g. harvesting luscious tomatoes, planting marigold seeds around the crepe myrtles, watering, weeding, composting and then there is problem-solving, like how to unravel a knotted hose? Lucie seems to have it under control! While Elijah was making sure the over-flow from the Wicking Bed was saved and reused, other students were finding creative ways to use old Muffin Trays … the succulents will thrive and the trays will have a new purpose … good choices, all round!

"Keep Calm and Carry On!"

As Term Two commenced with limited students, it was decided that the Term One Environment Team would carry on their duties, through until the end of Term. While not all of the Team arrived at school, until Week 5, help came from student “volunteers”, who did a great job … thanks, Stella, Cielo, Oskar and Oliver! Hayden’s tadpoles are settling in to their new home and apparently have a food preference for broccoli! Miss B visited Bluey’s Patch to be given a first-hand report on the progress, (mostly good) of the Tomatoes … the grape ones, are quite delicious, according to all reports! Some Early Stage One students also visited the garden to place their ‘Indigenous Australian’ rocks, in a special spot!
