The rain gauge had just been installed (thanks, Mr Fuller) and the heavens opened … 164mls has been recorded, over two occasions! A bird was happy to have a fresh rain water drink from the Birdbath!
Also, it was a good time to replant one Wicking Bed with Carrots, Beetroot and Chives and to start preparing the other two, by digging-over and adding compost. A few left-over peas were discovered, and eaten, in the process!
The Term 3 Environment Team was busy settling into their new roles, keeping the Crunch & Sip on the move!

Wowsers after getting active at the Institute, they have now moved onto Old Parliament House. Word on the street, from all the tour guides, is that our students have been very well prepared and have so much knowledge and understanding of Government already!!

Six Habits That Help Children Develop a Love of Reading
Book Week is a celebration of stories, imagination and creativity, but helping children love reading isn't just something that happens during one week of the year. The good news?
