We have a huge team of BNZ “closed for good” workers here helping to enhance our school’s environment. They hope to stain the senior playground, replenish the sand in the junior sandpit, repaint games on the court, clean out compost bins to name just a few of things they will be doing. We are really looking forward to seeing what can be achieved and we would like to thank Stacey McLean for organising this wonderful opportunity for us. Thanks also to those families who have lent us their wheelbarrows for the day.
This term our enviro-agents are busy in our vegetable garden. They have just planted more winter veggies. They hope to have some ready for harvest in time for Matariki. They are also learning about and making preparations for growing strawberries.
A junior enviro-group has been started thanks to Ms Hooper. They have called themselves the “Greenie Gardeners”. They meet regularly and have already planted bulbs and undertaken the huge job of weeding our front entrance gardens.
We hope soon to start a regular stall on a Monday night selling our produce and worm wee. More info on this when we’re ready to go.
Please, please, please don’t forget to add your ideas and comments to our tree in the school reception area. Your input is vital to our planning. All comments and feedback are most welcome. Pick up your sticker from Mrs Allen.
