Week Two: update

Thank you all for the prompt returns for our Planting Day last Wednesday.  It was a successful outing as we planted a lot of trees along the waterway.  Room 12 discussed how their actions related to Citizenship, Take Action for Water, Our school's 3 R's and this terms inquiry into Healthy Mind, Healthy Heart, Healthy Body.  Enviroschools and the Greater Wellington Regional Council were very impressed by us.

During our Nature Study time we learnt about our water ways, water clarity and the importance of planting along water ways.

 

Our school open day was last Wednesday!

Thanks to the parents and families who turned up to have a look around our school.
