Hey all – we sent our new EYEvideo to our friends at the Foundation for Young Australians and they liked it so much they put it on their HOME PAGE! Check it out at www.fya.org.au – it’s on the bottom left. Very cool!
This weekend’s workshop was a great success, with plenty of people turning up to help us build our oven, while learning the tricks of the trade from Josh. Thanks to everyone who came along for your enthusiasm… We look forward to ovens of various shapes and sizes springing up in your backyards.
A full photo run-down of the workshop can be found in our galleries section
Building on top of the foundations for the pizza oven we laid down another concrete slab upon which our Pizza would eventually cook. While the girls fought for the right to trowel out the concrete mixture the other students were given a demonstration by Benn in planting some new seedlings.
As a warm up exercise for the afternoons work, Olivia conducted a blind tour of the garden in which the students took it in turns to be lead around the garden in a blindfold, experiencing their environment without their sense of sight.
Hey all EYEs and potential EYEs, we have decided to hold our July monthly meeting in the last week of June – so as to avoid having to meet during school holidays. So come along on TUESDAY 28 JUNE to the Bellingen Environment Centre, from 5-7. On the agenda – taking our Plastic Bag Free campaign statewide!!, EYElections, and more. Seeya there.
Sorry all you keen bushwalkers, Mother Nature has decided that EYE will not be going up McGrath’s Hump this weekend. We will try and schedule another date for this walk soon.
Hope to see you all next week at the EYE GENERAL MEETING (Tuesday, 28 June) – we are holding July’s monthly meeting during the last week of June – so that we don’t have to meet in the school hols. See you there!
