Visit to Clifton Terrace

Today the Moana and Maunga Enviro Reps visited Clifton Terrace and their Enviro Group. We had heaps of fun!

From Trash To Flash

Last week we had a WOW week where each syndicate turned a trash item into a flash usable item for their syndicate. Each class also recreated trash items into flash attire. This was paraded at our whole school assembly. During the lunchtime we had MKR Nayland Style where by four contestants had to cook silver beet patties for 2 esteemed judges. There was also a recycling challenge and a poster recycling competition. Here is a selection of photos from the week: Trash To Flash on PhotoPeach

Gardening

We are back gardening each Tuesday with the help of two keen parent gardeners. Corn has been fun to harvest and the garden is looking very tidy with the love and care from the children.

Stream monitoring

The Enviro Club learnt about stream monitoring at Poorman Stream last week.

Enviro WOW Week Activities

In Term 1 each class chose an enviro focus for our first WOW Week. Activities ranged from decorating classroom items, creating butterflies from tin cans, recycled art work, creating new items from things purchased from the Recycle Shop and on sold on Trade Me.

Heaps of fun for all!
