Gardening begins!

With Deb's help and plants from her garden we learned how to dig a hole and place the carrot seedling in, covering it firmly with soil. 

U yuck! The worms in the worm farm are busy eating the food scraps to turn them into worm wee. We will use the wee on our garden to help the vegies grow.

Making another hill of rubbish

We saw the trucks dumping so much rubbish. Then we watched the big crusher truck squashing all the rubbish. It takes a long time to make the hill. It didn't even smell!!

Visit to the Transfer Station and Landfill Area

 Chris bought her rubbish to the table and we had to think about what could be recycled. Did you know our school sweatshirts are made out of recycled drink bottles?

 We watched the grader push the rubbish into special areas. Some of it got pushed to the shoot where a truck catches it and takes it to the Landfill Area.

                          Kirat, JJ and Tenequa were recycling the rubbish. Plastic goes in here!!

      Joziah had a bag of newspapers. He found the newspaper bin easily. Great recycling Joziah!!

             Wow don't we look fabulous in our high vis vests. We wore these to keep us safe.

Chris told us it took 16 years to make a huge hill of rubbish. All the rubbish is pressed down and layered to make a hill. Then they put soil over the top and plant grass. They have little pipes to let the air out!! There's Mrs Kelly standing by the big hill that is made of rubbish.
