The Kitchen Garden
Sasha wrote about our visit down to the kitchen garden. Great job, Sasha!
On Thursday 24th May 2012 Room 6 went down to the kitchen garden and the kitchen. We are the first Year 3 class to be able to visit the garden and will be able to use the new kitchen later in the year.
On our visit we learnt some amazing facts about the kitchen garden.
These are the facts that Room 6 learnt:
1. The kitchen garden grows winter, summer autumn and spring produce.
2. You can make new strawberry plants out of the bottom of a strawberry plant.
3. Worms turn scraps of food into good nutrients for the garden.
4. A compost lasagna is called a compost lasagna because it has lots and lots of layers like a lasagna.
We all enjoyed our visit to the garden, learnt lots of new things and hope we can visit again soon.
Animal Tracking at Rotary Park
Journalist Sasha has been hard at work writing about what we’ve been doing. Some very interesting facts here, Sasha!
On Monday the 28th May, Room 6 went with Tracy to Rotary Park. Tracy taught us about a few animal HABITATS.
These are the animal habitats that we learnt about:
The Carnaby’s Cockatoo lives in large hollows of trees. They wander in flocks and feed on seeds, nectar and insect larvae.
The Water Rat nests in logs or tunnels in river banks. It feeds on small creatures and mussels.
The Phascogale lives in hollows of trees in woodlands. They forage in the tree canopy. They eat insects and small animals.
The Quenda lives in heaps of leaves and dense, scrubby plants. They dig in the ground for fungi and insects.
The Honey Possum feeds on nectar and pollen. They need shrubs with lots of flowers. They lives in tree hollows, birds nest and balga skirts.
The Ringtail Possum is found in peppermint trees. They live in tree tops and make homes in the canopy or hollows.
Room 6 also learnt a few facts about the animals:
-
Honey Possums need nectar to survive!
-
You can tell if a Quenda has been in your garden because its hole that it digs is a shape of a triangle.
-
A Phascogale taps on the bark of a tree when it is scared.
Thank you to Tracy for coming with us and I think everyone loved the visit to Rotary Park.
Did everyone enjoy the trip? 🙂
Enjoy the slideshow.

BOUNCING BACK IN LIFE!
Mrs Teague is going to be talking about being resilient and flexible. Here is the song you will be singing to remember how to BOUNCE – BACK!
Assembly Jobs
PRESENTERS:
1. Sasha 2. Anabelle 3. Elleni 4. Lily
WIGGLES:
Blue: Anthony (Archie); Yellow: Greg (Kirsten); Red: Murray (Gus); Purple: Jeff (Charlie) and Lucy (reserve)
Rolf Harris: Hannah
Don’t forget that we really need lots of the group to BE THE DANCERS AND SINGERS and that you will all be wearing Australian Animal masks (and costumes if you have one). You are a very important part of the assembly item.
We also need people to paint and make props and then a few people to be responsible for moving and setting up those props on the day. That team will be: Jamie, Murray, Jake, Jack… (I think that may be enough for the moving and setting up). We need everybody else to be involved in making the props and masks too. 🙂
SONGS FOR OUR ASSEMBLY ITEM
These are the songs we will be performing at our assembly. Our class will be performing the Wiggles item. Practise singing the song and getting the actions right at home. Enjoy it! 🙂
