March Meeting

We are checking out our garden! Lucky it rained over night to water our garden!

We have a new garden bed and will put compost in it to make healthy soil to grow our vegetables.

Present: Ariana , Rory, Jayden, Ella, Ashley, Keira, William, Tristan, ,Noah, Jack, Ellie, George, Claudia

What we did

·      We looked at our gardens and saw things had grown a lot. We had our photo taken by the sunflower

·      We noticed a new garden bed

·      We talked about digging up ( harvesting) our potatoes to make room for the new plants

·      We talked about needing to have working bees at lunch time to fill the new garden and put compost on the other gardens so the soil is healthy and ready to grow new plants.

·      We will put notes in the day book and invite other children and teachers to help us.

·      Then we will need to plant the new plants and water them.

·      Once we have dug the potatoes we will wash them. We talked about how we could eat them and decided to bake them and then put sour cream and some chives on top and share them with the children in the school.

·      We saw lots of rhubarb and hope to bake a cake and put rhubarb on top – yum!

·      We looked at our care code  and will talk about this our next assembly

·      We are having a working bee at the stream this weekend.

·      The rubbish is being picked up by each class and it is Room 7 this week. It is working well and the rubbish is getting less and less

·      Mrs Hawker has made a new blog for envirogroup

To Do

1. Enviro children need to remind their class to put food scraps in buckets then empty and clean them each Friday.

2. Remind children not to drop rubbish

3. Work at lunch time and spread the woodchips and compost to make our gardens healthy and tidy

3. Make sure lights are turned off when not needed
