Despite some unpleasant weather, there was lots
of happy noise, laughter and chatter as we stood around in our beautiful
terrace garden sharing afternoon tea. The sun came out towards the end when
there were only a few people left to witness the fun and madness as we played
with the ice!
The reason for our afternoon tea was two-fold, as you would
know: to celebrate the wonderful year that we’ve had in Prep and also to raise
awareness about the need to look after the plants over summer. Libby has
suggested two things:
1) Foster Families for Plants:
in the last two weeks of school, people could take home a smaller pot plant or
two to look after over summer.
2) Come in to water and be
rewarded: Families could pop in over summer to water the plants and check
up on the chooks. In return, you can harvest any vegies in the Kitchen Garden
and take home eggs they chooks have laid.
We will (with your help, please!) move all of the
bigger-sized pot plants over to one side of the terrace, closer to the Kitchen
Garden, to make watering easier. The hose and water tank key will be left in
convenient spots.
SO, if you are
able to help, please email me so that I can pass your details on to Libby, or
just talk to her yourself.
Thank you to everyone who was able to make it. It was lovely
having the time to stand around and chat about all sorts of things. I was too
busy chatting to take note of who cleaned up, so I’m sorry I can’t name you,
but thank you!
Also, two BIG thank yous go to Libby for instigating it and
organising all of the food; and to Kirsty who spent the afternoon helping Libby
to set up.
