"The Nasturiums That Were Too Proud for Their Boots!"

Sunflowers, marigolds, and petunias not to mention more harvesting of carrots, beetroot, peas and beans … Bluey’s Patch is flourishing! But, where have the Nasturtiums gone? Try a Google Search for the book, “The Nasturtiums That Were Too Proud for Their Boots” to find the answer! Some ES1 students took great delight in giving their (Volunteer Trainee Teacher) a grand tour of Bluey’s Patch!

 

A Splash of Colour!

A new face was spotted in Blueys’ Patch, belonging to Mr Jo Jo, the Scarecrow … maybe he was just happy that he now has a “bulked-up”  head and he will start scaring the birds, soon! The students were also happily, harvesting, peas, beans and strawberries, watering, weeding and appreciating the splash of colour, which heralded the last month of Spring!

 

Bluey's Patch!

 

The Term 4 Environment Team was announced and the Term 3 members did an efficient ‘hand-over’! Students returned to Bluey’s Patch to discover produce, (some ready to eat!) top up the Wicking Beds and clear away the rubbish, which accumulated over the 2 week break! Mr Fuller had planted some water melon seeds (a gift from Mrs T!) and these also needed watering!

Certificate of Excellence!

 

The Term 3 Environment Team were congratulated on their fine work, in keeping Bluey’s Patch running smoothly, the Crunch & Sip Buckets regularly emptied and cleaned and for attendance and participation at the weekly meetings! This effort was rewarded with a Presentation Ceremony, where each Team member received a “Certificate of Excellence” and a Party Pack, which included a packet of seeds! Their last chores included watering, mulching the wicking beds and hedge trees and checking on the progress of the strawberries … Well done to all!
