After some photos and an interview, they were asked to go to the vegetable gardens to help shovel the compost down. The gardens needed heaps of compost because the boxes were HUGE. Four designers went to stomp out the soil whilst Ashleigh and Naomi went off to pile up some mulch. After a while, Jessica joined them with a spade. Meanwhile, the other three rolled some tyres for the potatoes to grow in to the vege gardens. Naomi and Ashleigh joined in. The tyres were really dirty because of the recent rain. Later, Jessica, Naomi and Ashleigh was asked to build a compost bin as it was donated to the school.
Shan, Sarah and Katherine decided to show some kids the worm farm-a wooden box full of 12 thousand worms, half tiger, the other blue worms. No, the tiger worms did certainly not look like tigers! The other three went back to the vege gardens to help out. Wow! The boxes were almost full! Mrs Riach asked all of the girls to make another compost bin in front of some little kids. Most kids wandered off, but in the end the bin was finished. A crowd of kids followed Rob, well, most people called him 'The Bug Man'. He showed them how to make little bamboo hotels for the nocturnal critters. Everyone else decided to join in as well. In the end, we made about 10-15 bamboo hotels. They looked so cute among the forest of trees.
Then it was time to go back to the vege gardens and we were just in time for planting the seedlings. They planted broccoli, lettuce, broad beans, Shang hai cabbages, bok choi and peas. Straight afterwards, everyone got called for a photo the 6 girls right up the front with the other children, Mrs Riach in between the girls and every other adult was right at the back, behind them. After the photo, Jessica, sadly left. Then the other 5 girls went back to continue digging holes for the seedlings. 3 girls were asked if they could have a interview with a young lady called Rose. They politely agreed. The interviewer asked questions like how did this all start off and how many people were in the entire making of the project.
When a woman named Sarah-Jane announced it was time for lunch, everyone came rushing like this was their first meal in ages! For lunch, they all had a delicious sausage sizzle and some workers and adults even had seconds! After lunch, everyone went back to work on the project some shovelling mulch, others laying down grass and the leftover people went to plant more beans and peas. At around 1 o clock, the vege gardens were finished. The adults that were planting seedlings went to help clean the deck or spread the mulch around.
It was a fantastic day and everyone worked hard. The gardens look beautiful and we hope it'll stay with the school for a long time.
THE END!
