Last Wednesday we held a whole school garden working bee. Each class got assigned an area in the school grounds and started pulling weeds, planting, raking and cleaning up. Along the way we met many species like snails, slugs, worms, mealworms, ants, caterpillars, beetles and more. Each class worked really well as a team and had lots of fun! We planted Australian native plants, grasses and vegetables.

The next day each teacher picked a student they felt were extra helpful and worked well in a team and they got a prize - a pair of fancy new gardening  gloves!

Thank you to everyone… we loved making our school more beautiful and can’t wait for the next time!
