In the Senior School we pride ourselves on our clever students who are creative and thoughtful. Alex and Monty demonstrate some of this 'Thinking outside (or inside) the box'!
On Friday the Enviro Kids from each class took the camera to their room to snap some pics of their classmates involved in the various Enviro Action Day activities. Here they are...
Unfortunately it was a very wet Enviro Action Day! Bother! We had to come up with an alternative to our activity. We couldn't spray our fish template on our school drains as it was too wet. We decided to practice spraying with the paint and template by doing one into our books. We learnt: *Don't over spray or it smudges and drips *Spray at a medium distance, not too close or too far away *Don't spray it too thickly *Don't get it on you, it's permanent *Keep it contained to the area you're trying to cover *Don't be silly with a spray can
The Enviro Kids watched an enviro clip about why we need water. This is why... Gracie-Everything alive needs water to survive Monty-Everything is made with or contains water Ella-Without water plants die Thornton-Our body is 66% water Alex-Water is vital! Caitlin-ONLY 1% of our water is fresh, some of this is polluted. Charlotte-Our world is made up of 97% salt water Ella- 2% of the world's water is frozen Cate-If there was no water there would be NOTHING on the planet! Hamish-Polluted water won't grow things and we can't drink it Kaea-If our tap water was salt water we would eventually die
On Friday all The Enviro Kids have a very important job! We will be labeling our storm water drains with fish to remind everyone at school to think about what goes into our water! Look out for us on Friday!
The Enviro Kids are very excited! It's Enviro Action Day this Friday and we can't wait! We are looking forward to: Sienna-helping out in my class garden Lily-drinking some delicious soup Hamish-helping our environment Annika-focusing on water sustainability Alyssa-creating our amazing class sea creatures Kade-to setting goals for water use in our classes Cate-we get to wear blue mufti!
