Book Week 2023

Sheepish author visits PPN

Andrew McDonough is the creator, write and illustrator of the much-loved Lost Sheep book series – and we were very lucky to have him visit PPN as part of our Book Week celebrations. Our student’s not only got a peak under the covers of Andrew’s creative process but also got to experiment with their own drawings with pen and paper.

School Composting System

This week, the Year Three's had an opportunity to come down into the garden and see first-hand the amazing compost that we are creating as a school. We learnt about the importance of compost (including how it can help reduce leachate seeping into our soils and waterways), and most importantly how to create compost. It does take a certain type of recipe to make compost correctly, with 50% brown waste (leaves, dead grass, straw etc) and 50% green waste (fruits, vegetables, green grass cuttings etc), along with some water to ensure your compost is moist but not too soggy. The students got to see our compost bays and the different stages of composting, along with the final product, compost!! Lastly, we took some of our very own compost and used it to feed the gardens and the trees around the front of the school.

What is your composting system at home? Do you put all your vegetable scraps in a compostable bag then place it in your green bin? Or, like our school, do you have a system that creates your own compost. This week, why not try a simple composting system in your home!
