Feet first-walk to school week 3-7 March

Lets walk to School !!!!

Rm 22 begin their veggie quest!

What do you do with 5sq metres of unused soil? Create a space for students to explore the idea of growing and sustaining food crops of course!
This year we have invited gardening expert and parent Emily Tilley to lead this project, she will be working with a small group of students from Rm22 to clear and build our own veggie/herb garden -using compost from our bins, and worm wee's collected from our very own worm farm.
The students will learn about sustainable soil, seasonal crops, and companion planting.
Keep an eye out for more information and photo's as the transition from scrap land to tranquil paradise begin......
