We had a wonderful trip to Awahuri Forest last Wednesday.

Thank you to all our parent drivers!

Uenuku is a Super Star!

We now have 3 laying hens. Not every day but most days, so we can start thinking about selling their eggs from the office.  What a clever chicken! We are so proud of our hens.

The Enviro Kids admiring the amazing display Mrs Harris and Mrs Harris put up in our foyer. It is all the classes pictures of parts of our school Care Code. We are very proud of our rainbow and the beautiful display we've created.

Vote your Bird of the Year!

Summer gets us all buzzing...

We have been talking about having a session making reusable beeswax lunch wraps. We were wondering about the cost of beeswax and how much it would cost to purchase a lump big enough for all of us?

Then wonderful Summer wrote a letter to a man who was researching around bees and asked if we could have some of his wax. He was very generous and gave us plenty.

Summer you are a star! What wonderful initiative, no wonder you're an Enviro Kid!

Whakarongo Gardening Group visit MSS for inspiration

On Friday we had a lovely group of keen garden enthusiasts from Whakarongo School. They  are planning on starting a gardening group at their school and came to be inspired by the Green Team's work, Mrs Cowan and all the lovely school class gardens. 

It was nice to be looked at as an inspirational school. We enjoyed their visit.

Having a snack off the top of the food pyramid

The chickens enjoyed some leftover popcorn from the Senior Team's meeting. Look at them scoffing it down. As Nova would say it is a snack for a treat, only to eat sometimes!

KFC is laying eggs!

Guess what? KFC is finally earning her keep! She has laid 2 eggs in the last 3 days! Yay, it was so exciting to find an egg in the chicken coop. We are very proud of her. Hopefully the other two will follow her example and start laying too! 

What does an Enviroschool do?

Yesterday we asked ourselves the big question, What does an enviroschool do? We discussed our roles and class jobs and then put together a collage.

The chooks have their first feather cut!?

Yesterday special guest Mrs Reynolds came along to Enviro Kids and helped us clip the wings of the hens. Uenuku, Lightning and KFC were very patient with only KFC having a little peck. We clip their wings so the can't fly away. We just clip one so if they fly they will go round in a circle but still be able to get out of harms way.

They are still looking gorgeous.
