Plant Aid In Term 3, 2013 our class went to St John's Community Orchard in New Town to meet Ruth Mollison. Ruth is one of the founders of Plant Aid which organises volunteers to grow plants for victims of the Tasmanian Bushfires. Ruth showed us how to plant cuttings and seeds and we took them home to look after. We will go to Dunalley at the end of September to help hand out all the plants to bushfire victims.

__More Plant Aid__ On Saturday 21st September, some of us went to St John's Community Garden for a morning tea. We celebrated the opening of the new shade house. We took the plants we had grown and we put them in the shade house. We took Vietnamese mint, rosemary and tomato plants. One of the students bought a punnet of tomato plants because her plants hadn't grown!! Ruth found a small plot in the garden that Padam and Suk Maya can use. They are going to grow coriander and other things. This Sunday 29 September is the last Sunday of the month so it is the monthly open day at the garden. Go along and see Padam and Suk Maya's plot.

They don't need helpers but you can go and look from about 10:30 am at the Dunalley Neighbourhood House, 172 Arthur Highway.

__Tall Ships Hobart__ On Wednesday 25th September our class went to the Regatta Grounds Grandstand to say "Farewell" to the Tall Ships. After staying in Hobart for 5 days for a wonderful festival, they set sail for Sydney. We watched as each one of them sailed past the Governor's launch and saluted and sounded their horns. Everyone cheered and waved. "Hip Hip HOORAY". Click [|Here] to see photos. More photos coming later watch a video of Europa sounding her horn [|Here]

=The Royal Hobart Show - Anna's Story= =I had a great time at the Show. I caught the Metro bus from Elizabeth Street with Hta Nah, Meg and Pharsu. We got off at Cosgrove High and walked to the Showgrounds where all the other students were waiting. Everyone paid their $3:50 and we went in. All the students went off in different directions. Mon Maya, Suk Maya and I went to look at the fleece display. We had an interesting talk to a woman who was spinning wool. Mon and Suk told her about spinning wool in Nepal. The woman invited our class to come to her spinning group which meets on a Thursday every week. After that, we went to look at the Fine Art Exhibition - paintings and sculptures. Then we lost each other and I went on my own to look at the animals - goats, sheep, cattle, bees. At 11:45 I went to the Grandstand to have a snack. I heard a voice say "Look! There's Aunty Anna!" It was my niece with her baby daughter - my great niece Alexandra! Alex has just learned to walk and I took a video of her. She really enjoyed all the sights of the Show. After that, I walked around a bit more and met some of the other teachers and students and then it was time to go. Near the gate, I took some photos of students with the "Living Sculpture". It was a good show, with lots to see and smell!= [|Click here to see photos]
