Goodbye Autumn - Hello Winter!

As we said farewell to Autumn, it was time to give the plants a boast with some diluted Worm Juice and protect them from the Winter chill with sprinklings of Lucerne Mulch! Also, it was a good time to emulate Dirt Girl from ‘Get Grubby TV’ and clean up the fallen leaves! World Environment Day - 5 June, was celebrated with a bowl of Maltese Minestrone Soup, prepared by the Environment Team !

Dwarf Peas and Beans!

Even Dwarf Peas and Beans need support, so bamboo stakes were strategically placed among the seeds, so that when they sprout, the tentacles will attach themselves to the wooden sticks!

Basil seeds were also planted in the garden beds with the emerging bulbs and all beds were topped up with potting mix and cow manure … prompting the question: “What’s that dreadful smell?”

Renew, Restore, Reclaim!

Time to RENEW, RESTORE and RECLAIM the garden, with many students willing to lend a hand!

Meanwhile, the Environment Team were enjoying preparing, tasting and naming the ingredients, which make up a Greek Salad! 

 

Gardening indoors!

The Environment Team are using Flower Presses to dry out flowers and leaves, so as to make a 'Thank You' card!

Meanwhile, Stage 2 are busy learning about Pollination!

Air, Sun and Water!

The Environment Team have been busy BAKING and learning about the pros and cons of PALM OIL, while Early Stage 1 discovered that plants need air, sunlight and water to survive, so they gave the plants and the potatoes, a good drink and will continue to watch them thrive!
