Gardening
Two weeks ago, The Grade 5/6 students learnt how to make their own seed raising mix and planted a variety of seeds to grow in their classrooms. It has been exciting to see them germinating and bursting through the soil. Some of the faster growing seedlings like beans are growing noticeably taller every day!

Mulching: always one of our favourite springtime jobs
Watering volunteers needed
As it is going to be a particularly dry spring and summer, we’re kindly asking for volunteers to help keep the garden watered. Most of our garden is on a timed irrigation system, however the drip system doesn’t meet all plants so it needs additional hand watering to meet its needs. Plants can be watered during pick up or drop off on weekdays. Follow this link for more information and to sign up:
If you have any questions or would like more information, contact Claire by emailing the office at montmorency.ps@education.vic.gov.au
Thursday's soup and seedling sale at Monty Mini Market
During the start of Term 4 our delicious student-run soup sale will continue on cool days. Students will also be selling a variety of seedlings and some produce from the garden at bargain prices. Hope to see you there!
