Students enjoyed the rewarding experience of harvesting the lettuce they’ve been growing with Ms Wood in our school garden. Over the past few weeks, they’ve been carefully watering, weeding, and watching the lettuce grow from tiny seedlings into lush, leafy greens. The excitement was clear as we picked the mature leaves and talked about how fresh food can go straight from the garden to our plates. It’s been a fantastic way to explore healthy eating, plant life cycles, and sustainable living—all while getting our hands dirty and working together!

We planted garlic cloves, ready for a long winter sleep underground! The students carefully spaced each clove and covered them with soil, learning that garlic takes many months to grow and needs patience and care. We also checked in on our potato plants, and there was plenty of excitement—the blue variety is growing faster than the red, with taller shoots and more leaves already pushing through the soil. This has sparked great discussions about plant varieties and growth conditions. As well as inviting in friendly competition as they were planted when on the day of the first State of Origin game. The garden continues to be a fantastic space for hands-on learning and scientific thinking!

Have a Great 5Rs Week!
