The Proof of the Pudding .... is in the Compost!

As 2021 draws to a close and thoughts turn to Christmas pudding, the students shared the Compost pudding with the plants in Bluey's Patch! In preparation for the summer holidays, the wicking beds were topped up with water, the birdbath bath cleaned and filled and the rain measured and recorded! Was that a tadpole spotted in the Frog Pond and a ripe strawberry, ready to be picked and eaten? It was time to party for the Environment Team and the "Let's Cook and Create" session also looked festive, with Christmas Chocolate Crackles being enjoyed by some happy Early Stage 1 students, who had varying opinions on the taste of  the garden mint!

 

A Blue-tongued Lizard pays a visit to Bluey's Patch!

 

Mr Jo Jo, the scarecrow has a new shirt; time for the chives to be pulled out to make room for the summer veggies and a blue-tongued lizard paid a visit … all this took place in Bluey’s Patch!

Out With the Old ...!

“Many hands make light work” so the saying goes and Bluey’s Patch was buzzing with activity once again!

 

The Hand-Over is Complete!

 The ‘Hand-Over’ from the Term 2 Environment Team is now complete and the new Term 4 Team are ready to take up the challenge, albeit for a shorter than usual term and keep Bluey’s Patch alive , thriving, colourful and productive!

 

School Garden in ISO!

While most of St Bernadette’s School Community is learning/working from home, the school garden is enjoying a quiet hiatus and Nature is responding well, to this time in ISO! However, some students are keeping the Garden Art creativity, alive!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Garden Art!

 

The Term 2 Environment Team enjoyed lunch and a tour, at the Lalor Park Community Garden, in Week 10 and received a Certificate of Appreciation, for a job well done! Meanwhile, some Garden Art reached completion and adds colour, texture and movement, to the school grounds!
