Bluey's Patch is Fun!

 

Whether it's checking the rain, admiring the plants, filling the wicking bed or embracing Mr Jo Jo the Scarecrow, Bluey's Patch is a fun place to be!

Checking out Bluey's Patch!

Students investigating the delights of Bluey's Patch, from the frog pond and Mr Jo-Jo the Scarecrow, to the Pots of Fun!

 

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!

 

Sweet Peas and Best Wishes!

 

The dwarf Sweet Peas were planted on 17 March - St Patrick’s Day (this is an old Irish tradition!) and with the luck of the Irish and regular rain, they will flourish well into Term 2! Let’s take a cue from the Scarecrow and keep a smile on our faces and hope in our hearts, during this unprecedented time!

Pretty Pink Flowers!

Two new faces turned up  in Bluey’s Patch, one belonging to the newest member of the Environment Team and the other happy face is a ‘yet to be named’ Scarecrow … both are very welcome! A nozzle for the hose, has made the filling of the watering cans less difficult, while the layering of straw in the Compost Bin is an ongoing job! A lettuce has sprung up amongst the recently planted seeds, a result of distributing the ‘broken-down’ material from the Compost Bin! But it is not all hard work, as time was taken out to enjoy the pretty pink flowers!
