"If You Build It ...

“If you build it, they will come!” Rain that is … the rain gauge had just been installed (thanks, Mr Fuller) and the heavens opened … 164mls has been recorded, over two occasions! A bird was happy to have a fresh rain water drink from the Birdbath! Also, it was a good time to replant one Wicking Bed with Carrots, Beetroot and Chives and to start preparing the other two, by digging-over and adding compost. A few left-over peas were discovered, and eaten, in the process! The Term 3 Environment Team was busy settling into their new roles, keeping the Crunch & Sip on the move!

 

Term 3, Environment Team!

 

Out with the OLD and in with the NEW Environment Team, for Term 3! Responsibilities and Crunch andSip Buckets were handed over to the enthusiastic new members, who are ready to keep an eye on the school environment in general and Bluey’s Patch, in particular! It was interesting to see the changes in the Wicking Beds, since the holidays and to harvest the Cherry Tomatoes! Jonquils had bloomed; tadpoles had grown, as had the weeds and a new hedge had been planted along the fence-line! Olivia, in S2B, invited Miss Cagney, to “take a turn in the garden”and Lucie, in S1B, generously shared her knowledge, with the new Team members … well done, Lucie!
