Langley Out and About


Thank you to the wonderful parents and grandparents who assisted the Langley children on their very first excursion. The Monday children were very excited to be able to venture outside the school to continue our investigation into fruit trees. The children were exceptionally well behaved as we walked down to Bunning’s, located the plants and pots and loaded them into the wheelbarrows to come back to school. We also had some free time to look at all the other wonderful bits and pieces that Bunnings sell. On return to school the children talked excitedly about what they had just done;
“We went to the hammer shop, to Bunnings” said Jack O
“We find da plants” said Joshua S
“Putting in the wheelbarrow” said Chester
On Wednesday our gardener Ty came to help the children plant our fruit trees. The children watched intently as he planted them in the big pots and then participated eagerly in helping to water them. We look forward to tasting the fruits of our labour in the future!
