Fantastic Fresh Food Day

By MsAlgar.

Here are the recipes as requested. By all accounts children enjoyed the day and a lot of learning happened. Hopefully, there will be more use of our fabulous kitchen to prepare food (on a smaller scale) in future. Cooking seems to work when children use a couple of trestles in the hall and take turns helping in the kitchen. And what now? There is talk of a multi-cultural food day next year – any takers? Year 6s have first dibs at the yogurt which is left over from the kind donation by Mundella. The kitchen has a Thermomix and blender. … Continue reading Fantastic Fresh Food Day

planting at school – DONE !!

By MsAlgar.

MANY THANKS to all of the families who came to plant the donated native plants into the school grounds. All of the plants are in! The plants are native to our Banksia bushland but because the seed stock didn’t come from the bush, the plants couldn’t go there as they may be slightly biologically different. This is a boon for the school grounds. The plants have been put into the grounds and also the barren areas outside the bushland. Our wonderful gardener, Mr Hugh Fraser, has a big task ahead to try to keep weeds away from the plants. We … Continue reading planting at school – DONE !!

Interschool Cross Country Winners

By MsAlgar.

These children all worked very hard to train to be in the Cross Country Team. We were very proud of their efforts today. Watch out for the best of them at the next assembly. It is some years since Glengarry has had such good results as today. We came fifth against some much larger schools. New records were set and we look forward to including our Year Threes in years to come. Thank you to teachers for giving time to train and help on the day. Thanks to parents who chipped in to help with the tent. A strong push … Continue reading Interschool Cross Country Winners
