Newsletter Term 1 Week 1 2015

Welcome Back for 2015!

Thanks
A great big thankyou to families that baby sat our chooks during the holidays! The “chooky” girls are back and loving all of the child attention again. The gardens are looking very bare but will soon be gaining some new plants!

Rosters
Are you interested in minding the school chooks for a weekend? It simply requires collecting the keys and weekend food on Friday afternoon and dropping by to feed, change their water and say hello on Saturday and Sunday of the weekend. You would be rostered on for approximately one weekend per term. If this sounds like a job for you please contact Ms Scanlan and include your contact details including email address, children names and any specific availability requests.

Meeting
Eco Garden Meetings are held each month on the third Tuesday of the month at 7pm in Miss Scanlon’s classroom, during term times. Our next meeting is on the 17th February. New members are always welcome. The first meeting of the year will look at replanting the gardens and plans for the year.

Being involved
The Eco Garden is a large part of the school at Hornsby Heights PS and involves many facets and people. There is gardening, animal minding, cooking, cake stalls and BBQs, building of infrastructure and lesson support. If you feel this is something you may be interested in or would like to find out more please come along to a meeting or contact Rhonda French. Many hands make light work.

Garden Tidy Up
In order to get the gardens ready for the year we will have a general garden tidy up on Friday afternoon at 2pm (6th February). If you are coming for pick up why not come a bit early and pull some weeds!
