Planting and Nature Study Day - this Wednesday

Sorry for the short notice as this has just been confirmed today…

 

On Wednesday 30^th July (this week) we have been given the opportunity to work with Richard Parkes from Greater Wellington Regional Council for a Planting Day between 10 and 12.

We will be planting at Kendall Farm, Haringa Road, Carterton.   Fonterra Supply Number 46481.

We will do about 1 hour of planting and 1 hour of a nature study.   Esther will be working with us as well as a small group of South End School students.

There won’t be a postponement date for this planting day and it will go ahead unless we are rung on the morning. 

We have been given this opportunity as a result of our Citizenship and Water Inquiry in Term 1.  It also fits in with this terms learning Strong Heart, Strong, Mind, Strong Body.

The timeframe for the trip is:

We will be leaving school at 9:45 and travelling to Kendall Farm, Haringa Road, Carterton.   From 10:00am until 12:00pm we will be planting and doing the Nature Study. Then travel back at Carterton School by 12:15. 

For this outing I need your parent consent that your child is able to attend.  If you are able to provide transport let me know Tuesday.

Your child will need to wear mufti (suitable clothes for planting) on that day.

If you have any questions please come and see me at school or ring me on 379 6624(Home). 

As said previously sorry for the short notice as this has just been confirmed today.
