September marks the end of the monsoon season and the beginning of so many festivities.

We have had a very wet and humid August. The children have had to stay in on many mornings and are now looking forward to more time in the gardens. The planting season will begin soon and the teachers are planning projects to involve the children in gardening activities. We will grow vegetables for the winter like lettuce, spinach, carrots, radish and limes in the small garden area at the back.
Parents who would like to help with the gardens are most welcome.
