Today, the
weather was windy, a bit cold, and the sky was grey. First, we checked the worm
farm and fed the worms grass and silverbeet. Second, we tidied the toolshed and
took inventory of all the tools we have, and what we need. We made this list of
tools we need: fork, broom, seeds, compost, garden gloves & small shovels. Miss
Miriam and Sophia are going shopping for new tools later this week. This week,
we also watered the garden and weeded the bark chip paths. To finish up the
session, we talked about Garden Club Rules and working as a team. These are our
4 garden club rules we agreed on together:
1. Have fun.
2. Be quiet when someone else is
talking.
3. Do the task you are assigned in the
garden.
4. If you don’t do the task assigned,
you will return to class.

Today, the
weather was sunny and bird song filled the air. There is silverbeet and calendula flowers
growing well in the garden. We saw birds, a hedgehog, a spider and beetles
while we worked. Sophia arrived with a trailer full of compost for the new
garden beds. We did lots of digging and scooping loads of compost from the
trailer into the wheelbarrow. We even had time trials to see who was the
fastest digger. Here’s the team at work:

We got a

and organising the tools in the toolshed.
