Our Indonesian Kitchen Garden Beds Look Great

20/9/2019

1 Comment

 
Our junior students planted coriander, spring onions and spinach, as well as Snow Pea seeds in the two new Indonesian Kitchen Garden Beds.
Our senior class did a great job moving sand and leveling the area for the other two wicking beds. Unfortunately due to the wind we weren’t able to set them up before the holidays.

Glow Sticks - Upcycled Jewellery Not Landfill

20/9/2019

0 Comments

 
In Technology, our junior students have been considering sustainability when creating design solutions.
​We have learnt that it is common during some celebrations to end up with glow sticks that have stopped glowing and these one-time use items end up in landfill. We discovered that chemicals contained within glow sticks they are unfortunately not recyclable, so the students have designed a solution for this and upcycled them instead to make bracelets. We used hot glue guns to fix used glow sticks together, before wrapping them in colourful wool and adding beads for decoration. The bracelets created could be used as gifts or to wear.

A fantastic solution and fun to make as well!

Our junior students did an amazing job making the garden beds for our new Indonesian Kitchen Garden. These garden beds were purchased using the Language Grant money that Bu McElgunn received They worked as a team to join the sides with screws. They measured the length, width and height of the beds so we could work out the volume and order the compost. Well done!
