Junior Grades Fairy Garden

After several weeks of digging, mulching, hefting wheelbarrows, planting and watering, the fairy garden is now finished and being enjoyed by the junior grades.
Sustainability students had a ball creating this wonderland to play in. Hopefully in time, as the plants grow, it will become a jungle alive with imagination and stories. Complete with big gnarled tree stumps, winding paths and luscious foliage the children can indulge in imaginative play.
The secret to a harmonious playground is active engaged children and we think our new fairy garden is just the ticket!!!

Stirfry

Mrs Clayton andd the grade 3 and 4 children has been harvesting some vegies from our garden. The children then made the following stirfry. This is Mrs Clayton's recipe.

STIR FRIED GREENS

INGREDIENTS
• Garlic
• Oil
• Asian greens or any veg really
• We used our veg that the children grew in our gardens: spring onions, spinach, pak choy, broccolini, beetroot leaves, broad bean tips and celery.

METHOD
• Put oil in pan and when hot add garlic
• When garlic starts to sizzle add onion
• Then add harder veg like celery, broccoli
• Lastly add leafy greens
• Add a dash of soy, or oyster sauce, or hoisin
• Serve with rice
• If more adventurous a hint of chilli in with the garlic or some ginger, squeeze of lemon at the end is also nice

Lastly, enjoy and know that you’re getting a good hit of nutrients and antioxidants.
