Gardening Club
Plant Fibre, Animal Skins and Molluscs!
Kindergarten
In Week 8 our Kinders investigated all things fibre and skin by examining different items and trying to guess which animal it came from. There were some tricky items too like a silk scarf (silkworms), an Akubra hat (rabbit pelt) and no one guessed that my bag was made from goat hide with Kinder’s finding it hilarious that I called it my ‘Goat Bag’! We then looked at what someone in a cold climate would wear compared to a hot climate, I think the photo of Pippin and Abbie below says it all!
Week 9 was where Gardening Club met Maths. Kinders graphed their Taste and Sniff results to find out what the top four items will be for The Great Taste and Sniff Off (to be conducted in Week 10). Mandarins, raspberries, cucumbers and strawberries were the final four, which fruit will reign supreme? Results in the next newsletter!
Lunchtime Gardening Club
Due to it raining in Week 8, our illustrious leaders met in the Library at Lunch 1 to update our display. Lunch 2 they spied my fibre and skin items from our Kinder session and all, very enthusiastically, wanted to play the game we played with Kinder all I will say is that they faired no better than our Kinders!
Beautiful sunny weather was Week 9 and yes, we were still mulching! Some of our members decided it was time to pull out our winter veg which we’d finished harvesting and to the delight of our ‘snail hunters’, there were stacks of those sneaky molluscs which were well hidden, very well fed and of course, needed to be relocated.
Stay tuned to see what we get up to next!
