Our first working bee
Today was our first working bee at Bialik College’s Kitchen Garden. It was a glorious day and everyone had so much fun helping and using their ‘green fingers’ to plant seedlings, water the seedlings, remove the weeds and label the equipment.
The year 5 students in the garden
The year 5 students enjoyed their morning lesson in the garden where they got the opportunity to plant seedlings and do hands-on practical work.
Our Year 3 students are also having lots of fun
Our Year 3 students enjoyed learning about seedlings and working with the soil.
Our kitchen is coming along…
An update on our garden
From a birds-eye view of our gorgeous garden to some pictures of the pizza oven in the distance as well as the undercover learing area, here are some recent shots.
The Frog Bog and other areas in the garden
A chicken Coup, flower beds, a hot house and a frog bog – the garden is starting to develop and grow. Construction is well under way. We can’t wait to eventually see those chooks enjoying their coup and those frogs enjoying their bog, not to mention the seedlings growing and being planted in their beds.
Our Kitchen!
During the term three school holidays, construction began on our kitchen. Construction is moving smoothly and the basic framework for the work stations are already visible. Watch this space as pictures will reveal the process…
An update on the garden
It’s the middle of October and the kitchen garden is really starting to take shape. From the oval to the five petals; From the hothouse to the Pizza oven – Bialik’s Kitchen Garden is starting to ‘blossom and bloom’.
First Garden Class
The year 4 students had their first ‘taste’ by assisting the garden specialist, Julie, as well as Bruce by starting to pot seedlings for the Kitchen Garden. The children were engrossed in the lesson and so enjoyed the hands-on experience of working with the soil and the seedlings (leeks and carrots). More photos to be added…watch this space!
