20 Ways to Help Save the Earth

New Home for Worm Farms

The Junior Green Team  have moved our worm farms from the Nursery, into the old blue shed  by the nursery- the one with worms painted on it! It is cooler in there and we hope the worms will be very happy and keep making us lots of wonderful worm tea. What a great way to use our food scraps. This is a positive action we take for the environment at our school. 

Food Glorious Food

We have crops of peppers and lettuce and beetroot ready for harvesting very soon. What meals could we make from them we wonder?
Growing food from seed is lots of fun. We are learning skills that we can use for the rest of our lives. 

Budgie Aviary

Our new bird aviary is now up and running. Mr Belk laid a concrete pad for it and Mr Harber water blasted and painted it for us. We have 7 budgies so far. Students from Room C look after this aviary and make sure the birds always have plenty of food and fresh water. We are learning to respect and care for living things.

Forest Gecko Enjoying the Sun

We were lucky to spot one of our geckos sunning himself on a branch. He is looking very healthy and happy. It is a very big responsibility caring for an endangered  species.  

Busy Gardeners

The Envirokids have been helping Mr Harber to plant the griselinia trees in the new garden behind Room K. Great team work!
 This area is looking really good with a new fence and a new garden. We will need to look after these trees carefully for the next few months until they are well established. 

Junior Envirokids Visit the Local Council

The Junior Envirokids visited the Manawatu District Council to collect some more worms for our worm farms. Mr Bartrom showed us their worm farm full of food scraps and hundreds of worms. It smelled of really strong coffee! Thanks for sharing lots of interesting information with us Mr Bartrom.
