Composting Workshops

This week, in the Nature Play Space, our Year 1's finished a composting workshop. We learnt about what compost is, talked about ways we have been using compost in our school, and how to create compost using scraps from our lunch boxes.

It was a fun experience for all involved, feeding our worms, seeing how they have already begun the composing process in our compost bins, feeding our worms with the green and brown waste from our school, and checking on our other composting bins to make sure they are creating rich soil, ready for our vegetables next term. We cant wait to plant some veggies in there and watch them grow! 

Nature Play Loose Parts 

To celebrate Nature Play Week (which is taking place in the holidays this year), our school has had the opportunity to play with some collected loose parts sent to us from Climbing Tree. It has been a fun week for the Lower Primary, as they got to use the loose parts each recess and lunch time in their Nature Play Space. They used their creativity to turn an old seat and milk crate into a car and house, and there was even an elaborate ball roll set up using bits of pipes and other materials. The Upper Primary now have the loose parts in their playground and have been using them in a lot of other creative ways. It will be great to watch how they use their imaginations this week, and see what they can create.
