October and November


As part of bee month, Mrs Masters made beeswax candles with the children. They loved the feel and smell of the beeswax as well as learning lots about the special creatures!

Mrs Masters, Bob and the gardeners have been super busy moving mulch to cover the paths by the greenhouse, the Pollinator garden, vegetable gardens and in areas around the school like under the marble run. It has been hot work! They have all worked so hard. It is important the job is done with the school holidays coming up and with the heat of summer approaching fast. We want the plants to be protected over the summer break.


The first of the seasons broadbeans are being harvested. Delicious!
Silverbeet is being harvested for Depot as they are using our silverbeet for a dish on their menu this year. Year 5 groups of children are loving the chance to visit!


Year 5 classes made their own pasta and produced some wonderful dishes - all recipes can be found on this blog:
Spring vegetable lasagna
Roasted carrot ravioli
Herbed green polpette with a minted tomato sauce on fettucine
Silverbeet and butterkin rotolo

Year 4 and 5 have made Vietnamese fresh rice paper rolls and Year 5 made a delicious Vietnamese pho.


The last of the seasons rhubarb was used to make a yummy tart by Year 4's and a rhubarb sponge by the Year 5's.
