Delicious preserves!

Marco School
Plum Jam Preserves

This is how delicious Marco School preserves are... One week and I'm nearly half way through! I look forward to plum jam on toast every morning.

Vege garden and fruit orchard

  We grew seedlings given to us by a local business - Bunnings. Everyone in the whole school was involved. The parents were invited to come and help themselves to the free plants. We grew the vegetable plants just to be different to other schools. We cooked apple and rhubarb pie (with a side of ice cream!) It was delicious. Another class, grew spring onions. They took them home to make chicken noodle soup.

We have a group of parents who come to school to help weed our gardens. I call them the "Busy Bees."

Fruit trees

Marco School has a large variety of fruit trees. These fruit trees have been happily donated by Mr Stockwell, the Rural Woman’s Group and our community here at Whangamomona, Kohuratahi, and Tahora. But not all the money that is put into our fruit trees is from donations, we also buy fruit trees with the money from our preserves. Oh, sorry I forgot to mention that we also use the fruit that our fruit trees produce and we make preserves. We sell our preserves and make money from them.
