Horty Kim

Ok so I have just shaken the last bits of hedge off me having spent today with the fantastic amenity students trimming a bloody big hedge.Hedge trimming is part of unit 1667 which is a unit that teaches students how to use and maintain machinery commonly used in the horticulture industry.The students did a fantastic job!I wish I had taken more photos but I will pop a few in…I will go and load onto flickr now and then pop them into this blog.
Pruning using hedge shears and ladders
Raking up clippings
Looking good so far
Safety first-students take apart scaffolding used to trim top of hedge

Another really cool thing is that I asked the students to do a run down of their day with me and Lisa Short on their own blog and I was extremely impressed with their enthusiasm in embracing this form of assessment.In fact you can check out the following sites for even more information on hedgetrimming.Well done team!

Well I have to add to this tomorrow as I got interrupted by a visit from a friend and then a call from my sister in Kelowna B.C

So check back to see some video and the student’ blog addresses!

PS- I had what you might call a backblog where I neglected to publish a few blogs of my work with the flexible delivery units so that is why it looks like I worked like some sort of miracle worker on August 31!Trust me ,I did not achieve all that stuff on one day.And on that note i will sign off and hit PUBLISH!Ovah and out.
