Each Friday the enviro representatives from each class empty the class compost buckets into the school compost bins. |

They then scrub the buckets and take them back to the class for the children's food scraps. |

What we did
· Talked about why we want to be in the
enviro group
· We emptied the food scrap buckets from the
class into the compost bins
· We learnt how to wash the buckets – enviro
children need to do this each week!
· We talked about how the compost works – we
need to cover the food scraps with soil, manure
or grass clippings. The compost will break into nice soil to feed the
gardens.
· We weeded the gardens and put the weeds in
the compost!
· We planted lettuces and watered them
· We named all of the plants in the garden
Our garden has –
rhubarb, potatoes, carrots,tomatoes,lettuces, corn, spring onions, beetroot, sunflower,
pumpkins, silverbeet and cougettes.
· We looked at our care code and will talk about this our next assembly
· We went over to the stream to see how much
work has been done to restore it and
make it beautiful!
