Spring Clean

Today Addison and Deacon came out to help me tidy the chicken house. They had to scrap all the chicken poo and straw into the wheelbarrow. Then we spread fresh straw in their house. The chicken manure was taken down to our compost bins where it will rot in peace.

Its not a nice job and the masks are a bit scratchy but they persevered. Well done Deacon and Addison.

Vegetable Curry

This group of students made a vegetable curry using our silver beet, leeks and spring onions. We served it on rice crackers and shared with the Year 4 classes. It tasted pretty good.

Thanks Tui

We were delighted to receive a Tui bird feeder and some bird seed. The Culture Club with Mrs Kingston had made some bird feeders the week before so they were able to put this feeder up to. The birds were very pleased to see it and hopefully they will now stop eating Mr McAven's silverbeet!!

Frozen Veges

It looks like we will be cooking with frozen veges today... And the gardening team might need to carry snow shoes just in case...

I'm sure the vegetable curry will still taste good!!

Rubbish Collection

The Garden Club was out in force this morning despite the cold wind to do a massive tidy up around the front of the school. We filled 4 buckets of rubbish which seems like a lot for such a small space.

We all need to be careful to put our rubbish in a bin.

Thanks for taking pride in our school Gardening Club.

Room 23 Path

The Garden Club has been busy making a path from the school entrance to the courts by Room 23. Today the Juniors picked up stones from beside the path so they wont get caught in Mr Rush's lawnmower.

The Seniors used wheelbarrows to put bark on top of the weed mat.

Great Effort!!

Happy Worms!!!

We are having a very successful time with  our school compost bins, Our compost monitors are ensuring there is no rubbish going into the bins, and a handful of bark is being put in with each bucket of fruit scraps.

There are thousands and thousands of worms in the bins. They are busy making us some great compost.

How many worms can you spot in this pile of compost?
