"Keep Calm and Carry On!"

As Term Two commenced with limited students, it was decided that the Term One Environment Team would carry on their duties, through until the end of Term. While not all of the Team arrived at school, until Week 5, help came from student “volunteers”, who did a great job … thanks, Stella, Cielo, Oskar and Oliver! Hayden’s tadpoles are settling in to their new home and apparently have a food preference for broccoli! Miss B visited Bluey’s Patch to be given a first-hand report on the progress, (mostly good) of the Tomatoes … the grape ones, are quite delicious, according to all reports! Some Early Stage One students also visited the garden to place their ‘Indigenous Australian’ rocks, in a special spot!

'From Little Things Big Things Grow!'

“From little Things Big Things Grow” … that certainly was the case with the ‘Pots of Fun’ planted last year, when over the break (thanks to Mr Fuller watering and the function of the Wicking Beds) and despite all odds, several large beetroot were harvested and distributed among excited students!

The Environment Team for Term 1 has been announced and the students will take up their responsibilities this week … congratulations and enjoy the role!

 

 

Wicking Beds and "Pots of Fun"!

Bluey’s Patch has been jazzed up with the completion of the Wicking Beds, the erection of Decorative Wall Screens and even a colourful Beach Umbrella, has been added!  Good job, Mr Fuller … thank you! The Term 1 Environment Team carefully sorted the ‘Pots of Fun’ (a great initiative by Woolworths!) into Herbs, Vegetables and Flowers and planted them in the beds.

Abbey (winner of the ‘Name the New Garden’ competition) was busy at home, constructing and planting out her prize, with strawberries, kale and pretty  petunias … well done Abbey!
