Caitlin Kerr was at Netball training

Today we had a talk to Mrs Olds about how she started making Plateau School a better place by starting Enviroschools with Mrs Sheppard. She said that at the start, she and the envirogroup kids and some parent helpers built the compost bins over by Ruru class. After that Mrs Olds said about how she made the lizard garden a better place by killing the weeds and everyone in 2009 planted a plant each over by the bottom of the bush. Then she talked to us about the stream next to the school about the wandering willie and how to clean it.

We also looked at the old books that the Envirogroup put together for the Bronze and Silver awards.

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.
