Waitaki Valley School Garden Club students have been busy in recent weeks with bird feeders, seed tape and sign making.
Some nice sign's being painted with the help of Ella McKelvey
Sure to scare some birds away
New Garlic sign post
But of special note is the project that Room 4 student Kelvin is doing. He has been working towards Project Gold and has raised these Kowhai seeds as part of the DOC local regeneration project in the Waitaki Valley. Well done Kelvin your Kowhai seedlings look so healthy and they will be a great addition to your local native regeneration project. :)
Also some garlic planting has been happening
Making the rows and planting the bulbs
Great team work
The idea behind some later garlic planting is that the garlic will be ready to harvest next year when the students return to school from the summer holidays
Students have recently started working on a Bee Calander. Learning about bees and getting to know their seasonal needs and activites
Agatha draws her bee and tells us that some parents buy honey and give it to children when they are unwell
Great start to the Bee Calander, we started with early spring activites
Resources and felts. We learnt Bee's have 4 wings, 6 legs like many other insects
