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!!!

Bush Cleanup!

Well Done to all the envirogroup members who have helped clean up our bush.
Thanks to them, the bush is ready to be opened for students at morning tea and lucnh time.

We have been learning how to identify bad additives against good additives.All additives have a number. We sorted some cerealbar boxes into good and bad groups by the additives in them.Most of the boxes have bad  additives, they all had a 2 in them!!!! All preservatives numbers started with 2.   Bars with no additives!
