Hidden Treasures in Bluey's Patch!

 Are those wiggly worms hiding in the Compost and sprouting peas in the wicking bed ... so many interesting treasures to discover in Bluey's Patch!

Pancakes with Strawberries/Cream and decorated with Flowers!

Fresh flowers from Bluey's Patch added a decorative touch to the "Let's Cook and Create" session, with Stage One, while some other enthusiastic students were applying Term-Work to a weeding challenge!

 

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!

 

Garnish with Mint and Boost with crushed Coffee Grounds and Eggshells!

During a "Let's Cook and Create" session, students learnt what a garnish means, as they crushed the mint and then discussed other foods which have a minty flavour while the Environment Team were busy planting Snow Peas in the Wicking Bed and then giving the seeds a boost, with a sprinkling of crushed coffee grounds and eggshells!

 

Lemon Balm, Peas, Tadpoles and Term 2 Environment Team!

 Time to harvest the Lemon Balm and prepare the Bed for planting! Those peas look fresh! Let's check out the tadpoles!

Congratulations to the Term 2 Enviro Team!

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!

New Life and Bunnies at Easter!

 

While the students "hop off" to enjoy an Easter break, the plants in Bluey's Patch will quietly produce some Autumn colour after the very heavy rain and look forward to the return of the noise, activity and buzz, as Term 2 gets under way!
