Tyre-garden competition 2015

The tyre gardens created a buzz around school over the last few weeks. Green fingers and creative hands were very busy getting stuck-in to create fabulous gardens.

The tyre garden challenge was for each grade to recycle old worn-out tyres and create sustainable gardens. No less than four tyres per grade were allocated. Every Grade participated with their children. The participation of children was imperative and a synopsis of how the teacher is going to incorporate the garden in enhancing teaching was required.  There were 8 gardens situated throughout the school. The choice of position for the garden was based on a first-come-first serve basis.

The presentation and judging of the gardens took place on the 14 August 2015. A Big thanks to our judges, Mrs Charmaine Plit, Mrs Paula Plit, Ms Astrid Van Wyk and Ms Laetitia De Jager  who took time out to adjudicate and chat to the many green fingered gardeners and teachers.eir help. To the children, I hope many of you have caught the gardening bug … you rock!
