This week was a special one for all the school.
Our first piece of good news was that two community groups have formed a partnership with the school to add their vast knowledge bank to our garden project. Both Seed Savers and Perennial Poppies are very active in the propagation and preservation of heritage vegetables, herbs and flowers. These groups have offered their support in both knowledge and "hands on" activities to our children. This will mean that we will not only have extra hands to help us, but we also be able to access their facilities and workshops.
It is great to have these two groups working with us. This makes the the project a true community effort.
The second great thing was that the children finally had access to both the kitchen and the senior library. Thursday saw most of the year 5,6, and 7 classes have a tour through the facilities. Instead of me talking more about it, I'm putting some more photos up and some of the children's comments. These were given to me at the end of the day on all sorts of pieces of paper and notes.
I think their comments say it all."I can't wait to start using the new kitchen with the amazing kitchen equipment and to eat what we cook." Shei
"I think the new kitchen is awesome. I'll finally know how to cook." Tamika
"I can't wait till I get to be a BSS cook. It's going to be so much fun. The building looks awesome." Kelsie
"The kitchen is totally awesome! I love the huge ovens and I can't wait to start cooking. Just imagining cooking is soooo exciting! Let's hope we can cook cupcakes." Liv
" I think the kitchen is foodtastic!" Mac
'Kitchen's great, looking forward to cooking. I can't wait for the cooking to start. I'm so excited, It's fantastic! Brodie
"When I saw the kitchen I was pleasantly surprised. The kitchen looks great and I think the builders have done a good job." Weng
I think the school is on to a winner with this project.
Until next week,
Stay safe and enjoy life.
