Gardening with Alicia

On Tuesday, Alicia came to help us in the garden. It was hard work because we needed to dig out the weeds and turn the gardens to get ready to plant new vegetables next week.

 

Thank You TreeTech!

On Wednesday, TreeTech gave us a HUGE pile of mulch for our fruit trees. It was FREE!!! Thank you so much Tree Tech. Yesterday we put mulch all around the fruit trees.

You should check out our fruit trees. They are growing fast. Lots have new buds and shoots on them.

   

Spring Gardening

Welcome back to Term 4. Our first big job for the term was to get stuck into the garden.
First we had to re-pot the Yellow Tomato plants.

Next we weeded the garden beds to get ready to plant our new salad plants.

It was a big job, but it was lots of fun too.

Room 3's Got Talent

Today, Room 3 was treated to a performance by our talented violinists. This group first picked up a violin only a couple of months ago. They are tutored each week by Liz, who volunteers her time to teach our students. Next term they are off to Hastings to perform!

Whanau Tree Planting

Thank you to all the students, staff, whanau and community friends who helped to plant fruit trees around the school. It was great to see so many people involved and having so much fun!!

Please help us to take care of the fruit trees so that they grow big and strong and produce lots of fruit for us to eat!

Samoan Language Week

Making Soup for our School Community

When we decided to plant a garden at Corinna School, our big dream was to be able to grow fruits and vegetables so that we could make some healthy foods to share with the school and our Community.









Well, over the school holidays, with all the rain, our garden grew and grew!!!

Our Bok Choi, Broccoli, Kael, Silver beet and herbs, were particular growing very well.

We decided to make Broccoli soup to share.

Our ingrediants were broccoli, kael, onion, potatoes, garlic, and vegetable stock.

It was delicious!! Thanks Diana for coming in to help us with the cooking :-)
