We are incorporating Enviroschools into our whanau group time. We are looking at:

compost and worm farms

Schoolgen

recycling

school gardens

What are we an Enviroschool?

 

The big stream clean up continued....

What a lot of work the Envirogroup managed to achieve this morning- they cleared bags and bags of Tradescantia thanks to everyone involved and especially to Mrs Olds who masterminded the cleanup.

Ideas for 2014!

These are the great ideas our Envirogroup had for 2014.

First meeting of our 2014 Envirogroup

We had lots of children who wanted to be in the Plateau School Envirogroup today. They had lots of great ideas of things we could do in 2014!

Tuesday 6 August

Today the enviro group did some planting we did some herbs like perfect parsley, thyme, coriander and lots more. We put some soil from the plateau school gardens and some water and we also put them in some yoghurt containers. Here are some pics of what we did.

Today the Enviro group did some weeding in the garden. The fun part was that we got out side in the sunshine.We did a great job after all the earthquakes and rain we had in the holidays.

World of waste tour

On Tuesday 4 July the enviro group plus Mr Sheehan, Miss S and Mrs Armstrong jumped on a bus and went on the world of waste tour with Jean from Hutt city council, it was AMAZING... We went to the landfill, recycling plant, EarthLink and Macauly metal recyclers.. It was so great to learn so much new information that we want to share with the school and also to see what happens to our waste and how we are a big part of the future. here are a few pictures from our cool day!!!
