Gardening Fun!

Hi everyone! A gorgeous sunny and productive day in the garden today! We learned how to hammer nails into the garden bed frames, so that we can hold down the netting that covers our plants tp protect them from the possums eating them. We had lots of eager helpers helping to dig a new bed to plant potatoes! We are hoping to cook some delicious chips together when they grow!  

We really enjoy our weekly visit from Melvyn Colaso, Olivia’s Grandpa and he is such a great help in the garden. 

Things we need!

Do you have any spare paper bags we could use to bring home our vegetables? Please leave at the office, labelled “Miss Belinda”. Thank you! We also need some more “bird safe” netting if you have any spare from your gardens. 

Classroom Recycling 

Sustainability leaders are seeing less “mistakes” in the classroom recycling bins. It is great to see our leaders teaching our younger students about recycling and what can go into the bins.
