Way back in Term 2 on the 30th May we planted vegetable seeds - garden peas, sugar snap peas, carrots, rocket and beetroot. We also planted seedlings of cabbage,cauliflower and broccoli. We watered, weeded and tended the garden for a term and a half and when we came back for Term 4 there was a surprise waiting for us. Broccoli ! Not Broccoli! Please NOT broccoli!

Last week we ate the first fruits of our garden. The garden pea group ate some of their peas raw and we cut off a head of broccoli. Mrs Matters helped us find a recipe and we cooked a Broccoli and Herb Frittata. Everyone had a taste and some students even took the recipe home to cook for their family. The kids enjoyed their frittata and working in the garden

Most primary classes at our school made pin-wheels and attached them to our Chinese “Tea House” along with prayer flags and our wishes for World Peace

The performers of Ogham Soup asked some special guests to dress up and sing in their show. They played lots of different instruments and we sang lots of songs. Our grade had lots of fun because we learnt all about the group and the songs they were going to sing, with Mrs A, before the visit.

We have just finished our first week of Term 4 after 2 weeks of holidays. Ms Starling was away for two weeks prior to the holidays so now we have to get lots of information onto the blog. Sorry we didn’t get anything on last week but Ms S was blocked out of this blog.

What a great way for the P-6 students to finish off the week - an afternoon of skipping. The groups were made up of all ages and many different types of skipping were completed.

Our scarves are now finished and are absolutely marvelous. We made looms from egg cartons and used various threads to make the scarves. More photos will be posted on our Art page when the slide show is remade into a smaller size.

We started with a basic weave and as some of the children had done paper weaving they tried alternative cuts to see what would happen. After seeing other childrens’ end results they had another go to see if they could achieve the desired effects.

Our next weaving activity is weaving a scarf on an egg-carton loom. At the moment we are setting up the looms and we will have some photos when we get started with the weaving.

The students were asked to put together some photos and thoughts to make a photostory for their Mum’s on Mothers Day.
