Relief from the Heat!

On an unseasonable hot Spring day, the Term 3 Environment Team visiting from St Bernadette's Primary, found shade and solace on an excursion to The Lalor Park Community Garden with time to explore and appreciate the Worm Farm, see the Bee Hive and munch on some juicy Mulberries!

 

Let's Begin Again!

 

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

,

"Plants in Boots, why?

When Early Stage One paid a visit to Bluey's Patch, a very good question was posed; "Why are there plants growing in boots?" Lots of good responses were given ... do you know what they were?

The Term One Environment Team would know! They know how to compare carrot sizes and how to move a Stick Insect, to a safe place ... well done!

 

"So Long, Farewell ..." to Term 1 Environment Team!

  

The Term 1 Environment Team successfully completed their role, with a Certificate Presentation and a visit to the Lalor Park Community Garden. Team members spoke of their favourite part of the 8 week duty and listed – 1. Gardening,  2. Learning new skills, 3. Connecting with nature, 4. Making friends …  highlights of the experience!

Term 3, Environment Team!

 

Out with the OLD and in with the NEW Environment Team, for Term 3! Responsibilities and Crunch andSip Buckets were handed over to the enthusiastic new members, who are ready to keep an eye on the school environment in general and Bluey’s Patch, in particular! It was interesting to see the changes in the Wicking Beds, since the holidays and to harvest the Cherry Tomatoes! Jonquils had bloomed; tadpoles had grown, as had the weeds and a new hedge had been planted along the fence-line! Olivia, in S2B, invited Miss Cagney, to “take a turn in the garden”and Lucie, in S1B, generously shared her knowledge, with the new Team members … well done, Lucie!

Environment Team 2017!

Term 1 is well and truly underway and the Garden was a hive of activity! The 2017 Environment Team comprising: George, Hane, Tracey, Dominic, James, Reiley, Jesse, Kon, Chok and Manoah, held their first meeting and many interesting ideas were discussed! Some Early Stage One students “took a turn in the garden” and were introduced to the Frog Pond and the Watering Cans!
