How one amazing Kiwi is making a difference!

Go to the link below to view the video from Seven Sharp. It ties in with our litterless lunches theme. One lady making a real difference, inspirational!


Science Art

It was a cross curricular session in Rm I. Art and Science combined. We created leafless, stark winter trees with masking tape on a white background. Then we dyed the background over the tape and the science happened here! We salted the wet dye and it causes a chemical reaction that looks very effective. Then we peel the tape off the dry page and draw black pen decorations all over the trees.
So far so good Rm I, watch this space...


How Much is too Much?

Last term on Enviro Action Day we has a litter less lunch competition. On this day we knew classes would want to win so we expected there to be very little litter and it to be a very close competition. Unfortunately there was a lot of litter. Look how much in the pictures below.
We are looking forward to hearing back from classes with their PMI charts about litter less lunches that they discussed on the day.

Enviro Action Day- Term 2

What a wonderful day. The sun shone and we all were very busy!




Rm I and their Isopod habitat!?

We (Mrs Palmer) chose to create a habitat for isopods because they start with I just like us! Isopod is a fancy name for a slater or wood lice. We think these invertebrates are pretty interesting with their multiple legs and mini suits of armour.
Look at us drilling and creating their haven below.
