Before Morning Tea, 7/8TS and 7/8AL went out to the garden and picked plums to make jam. We filled about six bags? of plums. Mr.Tish climbed up the tree, to shake the plums of the tree.

After Morning Tea, 7/8TS, 7/8MT and 7/8AL went over to the compost area hidden behind the tennis courts. 

Some students got to use the tools, to pick up sticks, leaves, rubbish etc. We found many interesting bugs and rubbish pieces. We cleaned up and the area looked much more emptier!
