Harvest Time For 5/6U

Growing conditions at Seaham Public School have been perfect this season and the crop has never looked better. Students in 5/6U were delighted when it was time to harvest their latest crop. The students have been involved in the growing process from planting, feeding, watering and finally the harvest under the guidance of Mr Unicomb and Mrs Stulz.

Ben Caukwell from 5/6U commented that " We got broccoli, spring onions, spinach and cauliflower.

He added that "after we picked them we went up to the classroom and everyone got a vegetable to take home". The students also farm a number of chickens at school and the eggs are sold to people in the community.

Principal Mr Partridge said " Their teacher, Mr Unicomb worked his own farm not far from Seaham and it was wonderful for the students to get a taste of life living and working on a farm as part of their daily school routine".
