Good Morning Sunshine

Aggies have begun to collect seeds for planting *later this year (September).

Giant Sunflowers have been harvested and bagged upside down to allow collection of seeds.

Beware: Feeding 'Snails'

From our Canteen to the ferocious snails- the lettuce is about to be eaten alive!

Did you know Snails have teeth? Agriculture and Aquaculture classes have a regular job to collect and feed our Pens and Ponds with scraps from our Canteen. Thanks Canteen!

A GREAT activity in preparing for the REAL THING!

Building our Chook Pen (Animal Enclosure)

Working successfully as a WHOLE class group to assemble a model of a Animal Enclosure. This model will be used to plan and build an appropriate sized enclosure for our poultry. Each team will be responsible for construction of their chook pen. We WILL be attending the Wyong Poultry Auctions (3rd Sunday of each month) @ Wyong Race Course. Teams will be given $20 to bid on their stock. The auction includes: fertilised eggs, newly hatched chickens, etc. AND ducks, geese, turkeys etc. Some interest has been shown by students in purchasing exotic poultry including Silkies (Chinese)...

... more water

The soil/potting mix was resisting the waterings.

... more replanting

Almost complete... replanting was shared between all students who moved plants from smaller/temp. pots to larger pots.
Slow release fertiliser was added and all plants watered.

Is it? OR isn't it?

No rain, hot sunny weather! Chrysies need watering. All done, used 'tap key' and hose to plug into taps outside admin block and also at the farm.
