Term 1 in the kitchen-garden  

On Mondays and Fridays throughout term 1, students from RG, 1TM, 2O and 4B have enjoyed spending time in the school kitchen-garden with assistance from our volunteer Sonia Potts. 

Students have fed the worms in the worm farm and used worm ‘wee’ to nourish the plants. They’ve discovered beneficial bugs and some that are pests.  Students have harvested strawberries, cucumbers, tomatoes and herbs.  

Students from 4B helped harvest and prepare cumquats from the tree growing outside their classroom which was later made into jam.  We then made soda water scones which the students enjoyed with cumquat jam and cream. Yum!! 

We’re now preparing for winter, raising seedlings with the Woolworths seedling kits.  We’ve also had a generous donation of seedlings, seeds, soil and watering cans from the Activities Coordinator at Bunnings Edwardstown. 

Watch our garden grow!
