Paige's News

At Paige's house they have made a garden and a roundabout out of old tyres.It is like a circle with flowers and roses planted inside the tyres. The tyres are not being wasted.

Meg's News

At ASAP out the back there are heaps of tyres that kids like to play in and build things out of- like a house with seats and tables in it. Meg is impressed that they are reusing tyres instead of taking them to the dump.

Molly's News

There was a cliff rock that fell down onto a house in Ohope. An 18 year old boy was killed. There had been lots of rain and slips. An older man escaped.

Oliver's News

An Emeperor penguin has come onto New Zealand shores. This is very rare. It has travelled from Antarctica. They say it must have been travelling since February. It is very, very fat.
Does anybody know exactly how far it has swum? If you do, post a comment to let us know.

What's going on this week?

Use the right bin!

Today we checked all the bins around the school.Some were great BUT we found plastic in food scrap bins and we found food in the big rubbish bins!

We want all the food scraps to feed our worms and to feed animals- like Mrs Duff's chickens and Mrs Rogers' chickens.

The Envirokids will be checking. We ask everyone to make the right choice and follow the green part of the rainbow.Please put the right things in the right bins.

Thank you from the Envirokids

What is the Environment?

We've been thinking...
Anneke and Molly- The evironment is what we live in. It is inside our ozone layer and all around the atmosphere.It is what animals live in and we need to look after it. The environment is part of our life. The environment needs our help.
Meg and Paige- the environment is our life and it is our future. It is trees, plants and everything else. Animals need the environment. The environment is our world.
Samara and Anais- it is a safe place for native creatures where they can build their homes.
Rhiannon and Charlotte- it is a family of animals, bugs, people and creatures. It is a forest with native animals in it.
Memphis and Arwen and Oliver- It is our friend and it is green and it is our family.The Earth is our environment.
Sophie and Kezia- It is all the land and all the sea and all the sisters and brothers of us, like animals and plants.
