Mr Green the gecko says ...

“Holiday Haircuts”

Plants love a haircut. Ask mum or dad which plants you can trim back. If any have disease or scale on them, be careful to wash your secateurs in some tea tree oil to kill the nasties and stop the spread of them to other plants.

Crunch-n-Sip Celebration!
Thanks to a $50 voucher from Harris Farm and the enthusiasm all our students have for fresh produce, we are going to have a super celebration on Thursday. Each class will get their own platter to share as part of the school’s inaugural Crunch-n-Sip Celebration.

Go the Year 1s!
Thanks to Mrs Stokes and Mrs Mamo and all their year one students. They spent yesterday putting together all the Pot Luck pots for the Eco Food Garden’s fete stall. Come and grab a pot on the day. Who knows what you might be taking home?!

“Pesky Possums”
Are possums eating your garden goodies? Try making a spray mixture out of boiled chillies or you can add some tabasco sauce to some fish sauce and spray that on your plants. Make sure you wash your produce before eating it yourself!
