Nature at it's Best!

The Beehive is now open at St Bernadette's, where there will BE some great learning happening!

Meanwhile, the tadpoles are evolving into frogs and the famous song from Mary Poppins springs to mind, as students quietly enjoy a "Feed the Birds" moment!

 

Zillions of Tadpoles!

                                        

Term 2 commenced with a “tidy-up” in Bluey’s Patch and a visit from Mrs Rebecca Lewis - a special guest speaker from Lalor Park Community Garden, who brought a zillion Tadpoles for the Pond, along with some herb cuttings which can be propagated, in the wicking beds. Akon, thanked Mrs Lewis for the interesting information and the prospective frogs!

"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!
