A highlight over the past fortnight has been the presence of more volunteers in both the kitchen and garden. Assistance with the running of both aspects of the program is paramount and we greatly appreciate any help. Of these volunteers, a special thanks must go to Dot (Jack and Max Widdison’s Aunty) who kindly made some oven mitts on top of her regular assistance.

This fortnight’s rotation in the kitchen has been rainbow pizza for Grades 3-6, using a variety of vegetables and herbs from the garden, soup of the imagination and eggs on toast for Grade 2 (thankfully the chooks have been laying well), and then iced biscuits for grade 1 where the students have been able to showcase their creativity. On top of this students continue to practise their skills of setting the table and the enjoyment of sharing a meal. We know that many of you are fans of pizza so in this week’s edition of the newsletter we have included an easy dough recipe.

In the garden, many of our activities and jobs have been carried over. Students continue to dig and lay pavers to form a path through our bottom garden bed, lots of seed saving is occurring, plants are being potted up for our community share shelves, climbing frames are being constructed out of bamboo sticks, plant signage is being created from recycled timber (which will also serve a multipurpose of blocks for a Jenga game), and the animals are receiving their regular cuddles and care. When Mrs Ruddick returns, students will be commencing ‘Bushtucker’.

And lastly a reminder that the garden is always open to students wishing to help out or escape the yard every Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, before school and at recess and lunchtime. Everyone is welcome!
