Upcoming Events- Coe's Ford

Sometime in early September, Burnham School has been invited to do tree planting at Coe's Ford Reserve.This area is both highly recreational and is environmentally valuable. The senior enviro-group are investigating what native trees or plants that they should be planning to plant.

Furthermore, we would like to know why people value and use Coe's Ford this will assist us in creating a plan for planting a section of the reserve with your suggestion in mind. Your comments are welcome.

Last week Room 5 helped fill up the new garden beds with pony manure for fertiliser. Most of us found it fun but a tiny bit gross. We took the manure from the trailer applied it to new garden beds.

We would like to thank Mrs Musgrave for the pony poo and for transporting to the school. Room 5 enjoyed the experiences but we had make sure that we had showers straight after school.

New Vege Garden

 

Burnham School has a brand new vegetable garden. Our thanks go to the EnviroGroup, supported by Joe Murray and Chris Thurlow for their efforts in designing this area. We've moved it into a location which is more accessible to the entire school. The process involved the EnviroGroup putting a proposal to the Board which was accepted last year. The decision was made to locate the new vege garden next to the library.

 

The McCAIN School Veggie Patches program helps primary schools across Australia and New Zealand build their own veggie patch and grow their own vegetables. It's a great way for kids to learn more about the goodness of vegetables through hands-on experience that will continue to grow with them as they do. Well done to the EnviroGroup!

 

Here are some photos of the design and build process:

 

Yoghurt Pottle Solution!

The enviro group have finally found a solution to the yogurt pottles going home dirty. There will be a bucket to rinse out your yogurt pottles after that you will take your yogurt pottles home in your school bag and then put them in your bin we should have this up and running with'n the next week.

We are now trying to decide where to move the veggie gardens because where they are now they are not getting as much sun as we hoped for so where trying to figure out where to move the veggie gardens.
