It has been a busy time in the kitchen garden program, with all classes undertaking different projects. The 5/6 have been working hard on tidying up the garden and rejuvenating our soil with compost and aeration. They plated out our herb garden which they researched and designed at the end of first term.

The 1/2s have spent the last couple of weeks designing a scarecrow for our garden space, to work in addition to the nets to keep birds and possums away! We want to use recycled materials as much as possible, so if anyone has a large old flannelette shirt, a pair of stockings, jeans or work pants, old boots and a hat laying around that they would be willing to donate, the children and I would be very appreciative. We already have our head. A huge thanks to Darcie’s dad for donating a buoy which will be perfect. Thanks Vinnie!

Some classes and students have also had the opportunity to get into the kitchen to cook which has been wonderful. I had one mission for the year, help Indie Ryan like beetroot. I think my beetroot brownies might have just done it! So proud of the children for having a try of new foods.
