What a productive month we had!

We’ve been planting a feijoa hedge with five different varieties along a fence.

The year five & six boys worked really hard digging the holes for those as the soil was very dry and sandy, they helped to prepare the soil with compost and worm cast.

A week later the year six girls planted one feijoa plant each and we named them after them as it will be their last year at St. Thomas More School.

The girls took on the responsibility and looked after their plant when we had the hot and dry weather.

The year two & three kids have been busy planting our winter veggies in seedling trays.

We harvested some beans, beetroot & radishes.

Kathryn, the teacher, cut the radishes in slices and the kids were brave trying them for the first time to see how they might taste…it was really funny seeing their faces once they found out that they are quite spicy !

As a fun ending we made some cress heads out of egg shells, the kids drew some funny faces on them and once the hair grew they took them home.
