What's happening down in the Room 5 garden?

The Sharp familiy donated Silverbeet, lettuce and brocolli plants that Room 5 have planted down in the bottom field garden. 

Our lettuces are growing nicely.

We have to go down to the garden quite often and pick up all the needles that fall from the trees.

We planted carrots.

We water our garden all the time. 

It's a great 10 minute classroom break. 

We make our way down to the garden everyweek. We head down with our class but also other members of Kowhai syndicate are welcome to come if they choose to garden for golden time every Friday. 

We had swan plants in our classroom during term 1. We moved them down to our garden for term 2. Hopefully, later in the year we will get some more caterpillars and butterflies.

Room 5 LOVE looking after our garden and caring for the environment!!!

Thank you to the families who have registered a helping hand!

Thanks to the families that have already registered interest/help and materials.  WE STILL NEED MORE! We have one concrete mixer - yay! We are getting quotes together to see which company can offer us our materials cheaply. We have decided not to build the bridge as we feel the most important aspect will be finishing the sandpit, seat and pergola.  We think the concreting of the tyres will be the hardest/muckiest job - if you are able to help that would be awesome.  We also need about 5-8 car loads of big, flat river stones to build the wall.  We have been able to secure a BBQ so will have sausages hot and ready. Check out our great posters around the school - thanks to Casey and Alistair.   Fingers crossed the sun will shine for the Sunday 10th June. Hoping to see you there!
