Getting growing

Finally there is some warmer weather - shhhh don't jinx it!! Our seedlings are growing strong and we are struggling to keep up with our VERY ambitious planting plan WHEW!
Peas and beans are are firm favourite with the snails and we have been looking at ways to solve this problem without chemicals - Any ideas or tips welcome!




The worm farm is thriving and is proving to be a popular attraction, with most students checking on them with interest and a little disgust:)

This week is the start of our FEET FIRST FENCE! Mr Mano's class will be drilling holes and hanging gumboots. Mrs McCracken and Mrs Travers' classes will be hanging the jandals. I think once they start the kids will see that we need HEAPS more to fill the space - it will be intersting to hear their suggestions to solve the problem.

Did everyone see our garden in the Bay News? Would have been great if the plants had been bigger - more green and less brown. Maybe Mr Whitaker the reporter/editor can come back and take another photo for a before and after story?

 

IN term 4 we are putting together a Garden Group that meets up on a Thursday at 12:30 and work with the children during lunch and class time. Vision Retirement are going to share their time and experience why don't you come along too? You don't need green fingers - it may just inspire you! First get together will be 18th October, little ones welcome.
