Grades 1, 3A, 4, and 6 have been busy harvesting, weeding and replanting the garden.

Our huge yield of potatoes by the Grade 1s was turned into air fried chips and zucchini and potato fritters.

Grade 3 entered the Let It Grow competition and are currently in the running to grow the biggest radish to enter at Agfest in May.

Grade 1 buried a pair of cotton underpants as part of the Soil Your Undies competition for Agfest, where we hope to dig up the dirtiest and most bug eaten pair of undies. This will also tell us how healthy our soil is and what bugs, microorganisms and bacteria live in our garden.

Grade 6 and Grade 4 have been harvesting and cooking with zucchinis and tomatoes and maintaining our garden by weeding and wood chipping the garden paths. There have been several visits to the school orchard, where Apples, Pears, Peaches and Green Gages are growing and taste fantastic.
