Let's Begin Again!

 

Bluey's Patch is buzzing with activity again, as the Term 2 Environment Team, take on their new role!

Term 3, Environment Team!

 

Term 3, Week 1 saw activity return to Bluey's Patch ... checking on the tadpoles, measuring the rain (150 mls), just having a wander around and the installation of the Environment Team!

"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!

 

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!

In the Garden!

Bluey's Patch is looking forward to students being ...     

   

... In the garden
   Pull the weeds
  Dig a hole
  Plant the seeds
 Cover them up
 Water them too
                                 Watch them grow
                                 In front of you!
                                 Make sure they sprout
                                Get lots of sun
                                To grow a plant
                                Is tons of fun!

                                            

        

A Bush Christmas!

While the year ends with water restrictions, the students are active with their watering cans and are still able to find little miracles of Nature and enjoy a celebratory party, with water as the preferred beverage! As Christmas is a time of goodwill and thoughts turn to those less fortunate, maybe some shopping could be done at https://farmers.org.au/news/buyfromthebush ... a practical way to support regional communities, struggling with the drought!

Thank you for your interest and support in 2019 … looking forward to more  “Learning and Fun” in 2020!
