Litter Pickers - ECO Promotions

The Litter Pickers are ECO leaders who are trying to get people to pick up rubbish so the school is clean. Every lunchtime they pick up rubbish and give out Gotchas to people that pick up lots of rubbish. We are looking forward to having a nice tidy school!

Enviro Schools Tree Planting Celebration

If you are coming to the PTA Family Fun Night on Thursday, then roll on up to the Secret Garden at 5.30pm for a special celebration of what we have already achieved as an Enviro School.

Butterfly Garden - The Insect Hotel

We have built the Insect Hotel in the Butterfly Garden.  Just like the tepee, it was bigger than we expected and should house many insect vistiors.  We were very A+ adaptable because the weather was terrible but we kept going.

Our next step is to:

1.  Make an Insect Garden sign.

2.  Complete some research on some of the insects we might get visiting.

3.  Make information cards and blog posts about the insects.

4.  Keep planting to attract insects.

5.  Build the catepillar at the front of the garden.

Over the holidays Allana is going to search for some ornamental yarrow, honeysuckle, bergamont and a buddleia bush to plant in the garden.

Eco vision map

On Tuesday the 11/6/13 at second break the Eco Team started to colour in our vision map.

It was Josephine's idea of what her dream vision map would be. We all helped do our own part. After we finished all of the colouring it actually looked better than we thought it would look.

This was the map that we developed from the whole schools' ideas that Matt helped us sort yesterday.

ECO Warriors workshop

Our amazing ECO Warriors taught their first lesson with Team Endeavour today.  They used their scripts to help remember what to say and did brilliantly at collecting all the great ideas from all the children.  Most of the ECO Warriors are from our class so we are very proud of them.

Check out the ideas from our team.

Here are some of the things we love about school and the creative ideas we have about making our school even better.

What are you doing for Earth Hour?

What will you be doing for Earth Hour on March 23rd 2013 at 8.30?
Is one hour enough?
What can you promise to do EVERY DAY to help look after our Earth?

Write a comment to share your promise. It might be something like turning off the lights when you leave the room. It might be turn the tap off or even pick up rubbish when you see it.

We are a team and imagine if we all made and kept a promise to look after the Earth?
What would happen then?

Setting up the worm farms

Wow - we have five worm farms to set up next week and we need to so some research so we know how to do it.




Need:
1.  Rounds of cardboard
2.  Rounds of carpet
3.  Newspapers
4.  Soil
5.  Worms
6.  Water

We need to find out what worms eat so we can make some food collection buckets.  Our worms will need feeding each day we go over to the garden.  Write comment to tell us what they like to eat.
