I've had such an overwhelming response for the Native Bee and Butterfly garden, it's fantastic!

Students have been popped into groups, based on year level for the first phase (this term). The second phase will be during Term 3.

The R-2 students have participated in two bee hotel making masterclass with Keith (our groundskeeper) and myself. We cleaned, sanded and bundled bamboo, ready for bees to nest.

Students in Years 3-6 had the opportunity to participate in a lunchtime session with Dr Katja Hogendoorn, a native bee scientist on Wednesday 15 June.  She left us some plants to attract the native Pea Bee.

Our upcoming excursion to SA Museum, Waite Arboretum and Wittunga Botanical Gardens is on Monday 4 July, Week 10 where we will gather some more information to start our garden project.

Mrs Todd is meeting with the landscaper (Gondwana Landscaping Consultancy) on Friday Week 10 to survey the projected planting area (out the front of the school).
