Congratulations Clinton Primary School!!!

On Friday 16th March Clinton Primary School was kindly given a new tree. The students have been so good at wearing their Telecom Sunhats on sunny days to keep sun safe. Therefore the Cancer Society donated the school with a new Maungapiko Tree. This is a New Zealand Native Tree. It will also provide great shade for sun smart students in the future.

Here are some photos of our keen gardeners planting the tree (taken by one of our students!)...

This is what it will look like when it begins to flower

What is Where in Our Garden?

We spent part of one lunchtime making signs for our vegetables. This is going to be great for us and any visitors looking at what type of vegetables are where in our garden.

Vegetables that were planted on the 6th March 2012 include:

• Broccoli
• Spinach
• Lettuce
• Peas
• Beetroot
• Sweet Corn
• and Cabbage

Let's hope the frost over the next few weeks doesn't stop them growing!

The Vegetables

The Gardening Club has planted some vegetables!

Because of the number of keen gardeners we have, we've split into two groups. 

The Girls came up with their group name...

'The Blossoms'

The boys team called themselves...

'The Planternators'

These photos are from their part of the vege patch.
