Bunnings
What an exceptional day on Saturday for Bunnings BBQ. Many sausages sandwiches were sold. A massive thank you to all of the volunteers who were able to come along and the kids who sold raffle tickets with such excitement. Our total profit was $1059.25!!!
Lambs
Coco and Chanel seem to be settling happily into their new home. They love being fed their bottle by the students and are getting used to all of the extra attention. It is hoped to get them out of their pen in the next few weeks and have them spend time in their portable pen.
Working Bee
There will be an Eco Garden working bee on Sunday the 13th September. If you have a few spare hours please drop by the school and help out. Morning tea will be provided.
Telstra
Do you or anyone in your immediate family work for Telstra? We would be keen to hear from you. Please email Ms Scanlan.
Cooking
Cooking in the garden has started with lots of growing happening. If you are interested in helping out when classes are cooking please contact Rhonda.

Newsletter Term 3 Week 4
Yes there are now 2!
Following the arrival of Lamb 1 we received another lamb. The lambs are borrowed from a farm where they will return at the end of the year. They are being fed a bottle of Lamb Milk replacer twice a day, pellets and chaff and Lucerne hay, as well as they graze on grass. Later this week and for subsequent weeks students will get to have a turn at bottle feeding. The babies are still adjusting to the large number of “people” in their paddock but are now more welcoming to visitors if you want to drop by one afternoon. A hand through the fence or a friendly voice is always welcome. We just ask that you don’t feed them anything as they are well looked after. In exciting news…….. they are no longer Lamb 1 and Lamb 2! We are very excited to welcome Coco and Chanel.

Recipe: Pickled radishes - daikon and little red radishes
Ingredients
·
10-20 little red radishes
·
2 large daikon radishes, peeled
·
1 cup sugar
·
2 1/2 cups white vinegar
·
2 cups warm water (warm enough to easily dissolve sugar)
Method
- Julienne the radishes. We used the mandolin to cut the radishes into thin layers and then let the kids cut them into strips. As you can see from the picture, it doesn't need to be perfect as long as they are cut into small pieces.
- In a big bowl mix together one cup of sugar, the white vinegar and the warm water, until the sugar dissolves.
- Prepare clean jars. Pack the radishes tightly into the jars. Pour over the pickling liquid to cover. Seal. Refrigerate.
- The pickles should sit at least overnight before eating; their flavour will improve with time. They should last 4 to 6 weeks in the refrigerator. The little red radishes will give the pickles a pretty pink colour.
New lambs
