Each year boys from 5M establish and maintain a vegetable garden. What makes this really exciting is that we like things BIG. For the last 4 years Redfield or a Redfield student has taken out first prize for the heaviest vegetable at the Castle Hill Show. The boys plant, weed and fertilise the garden and literally watch the pumpkins increase in size before their eyes. These pictures show some of the boys with their ribbon. Also shown is Anthony Charara of yr 4 who also took out the longest vegetable prize.

Catching turtles from the school dam and studying live animals is much better than reading about reptiles in books. The boys in 5M study animal adaptation as part of Science. The dam on the school grounds provides a ready supply of turtles. After safely setting traps the boys get to study the eastern longneck turtle up close. The turtles are tagged and measured. There is a lot of excitement when a turtle caught in a previous year is recaptured. The children are able to see what the rate of growth has been and learn to systematically and accurately record the data.
