Hares Alert !

Hares were spotted on the Green over the weekend, again. . .

A rather large hare in a hurry has been seen out here before but this time he had company. Feral visitors are one of the tasks before us in the establishment of the Green and we will face others. These are the dramas that make the project a multifaceted learning venue. Students in the ED/BD unit have been briefed on the Perils of Ferals in the Australian environment this week.

The peas we planted last week are gone !

We shall overcome of course. Even if Mr D has to dust off his traps again.

Hop, Little Hare!

By Margaret Wild and Peter Shaw


Little Hare and Grandpa were good friends. They spent a lot of time together. Grandpa had aches and pains in his joints and could only hop slowly. As for Little Hare, he hadn’t yet learned how to hop.
So Grandpa went
hibble-hobble, hibble-hobble,
and Little Hare went
bump, bump, bump
on his bottom.

Peter Shaw grew up in a small town in the north-eastern corner of Victoria, and spent most of his leisure hours on farms, rambling through the bush, and devouring the books of the local library. He went on to study graphic design at Swinburne Institute of Technology in Melbourne, where he learned to illustrate. He has since illustrated many educational books. This is his first trade picture book.
