This year has been a real challenge for school gardeners.  The dry season didn't help much.  At the end of term 1, plants that had gone to seed were harvested. The seeds were grown in trays, and this week we planted them out in our garden.  We won't know what the plants are until they are a little bigger.  We would like to thank the Room 1 boys for digging over the garden last week ready for our plants.

On Thursday the 10th of June, our the Middle school Hockey Team went to Blockhouse Bay Primary for a game.  We won 3-2.  It was windy and cold, but we had a great game.  Shu Xin was palyer of the match.  Reporter: Monica.

Come to the Glenavon Tuckshop "Slice of Heaven"

From the 8th of June Room 1 from Glenavon school opened up a new tuckshop. We decided to call it "Slice of Heaven" We will be running it on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. There are many varitites of foods at low prices so come and enjoy our tasty snacks.

Room 5 students planted out our autumn plants today with the assistance  of junior school children.  Mrs Taylor, our school Librarian, has kindly donated some lettuce plants for our raised vegetable garden.  Thank you Mrs Taylor.

In term two, Room 5 are embarking on an exciting project. Each child will design, build and maintain a prototype worm farm. There are a lot of great learning opportunities in this study. One of our aims is to develop a school worm farm to enrich our school gardens and reduce food waste. Another aim is to design and market products available for sale from our surpluses.  Here are some interesting WEB sites you might like to visit:
