Lewers Cafe and Art Gallery!

As the school year draws to a close, the Environment Team were treated to a celebratory lunch at Cafe at Lewers Emu Plains. Meals at the Café are prepared with fresh produce from the Kitchen Garden. Welcome rain prevented a “turn in the garden” but a tour of the adjoining Art Gallery was on offer and coincidentally the creative displays, featured items made from recycled materials!  The event was an opportunity to reflect on what has been achieved for the school, as a group and as individuals.

What's That Hiding In The Garden?

Turns out it is an egg … but where did it come from and what happens to it now? A good discussion followed, with many answers offered and a suitable solution reached! Time to get back to the watering and pea picking!

 

A Helping Hand for the Farmers!

Students dressed like Farmers and donated a gold coin, so as to be in solidarity with those who are experiencing severe drought. Watering was done with great care and gratitude was expressed when the school garden was able to produce a harvest of Sugar Snap and Snow Peas, which were just the thing for the Pea, Feta and Tomato Salad, whipped up by the Environment Team!

The Garlic Bread as a SIDE, was very tasty!

Coal Loader Excursion!

Sometimes the ‘Fun and Learning’ takes place outside the school garden! The Environment Team recently travelled to the Coal Loader Centre for Sustainability at Waverton to learn more about recycling, plant regeneration, community gardens and the re-establishment of an industrial site, which is now a place of beauty, to be enjoyed by the general public!

We had a great day!
