Where are we on our Enviro journey?

Mrs Daniel visited today. She was so impressed with all the wonderful planting & reusing for wearable arts, we've been doing, as part of our 3R's topic. She also said the worms we've been looking after are thriving. Room 20 are Enviro stars!

As part of our enviro day we visted the new sculptures that have been made using recycled materials. They're awesome! We also tied up the peas in the edible garden and weeded the seedlings in the shade house.

We're looking forward to eating some of our crops next term.

Our Enviro Technology Challenge

 Which team can build the tallest tower, in 30 minutes, with 20 bamboo skewers, a Blu Tack blob and 3 rubber bands? That was the tech challenge set by Mrs Daniel this afternoon.

After half an hour of intense puzzling & problem solving, Carolyn & Sonia prevailed, with a 94 cm tower. Congratulations ! And well done for terrific team work everyone.

Our Epic Enviro BreakOut

Today Room 20 persevered and problem solved to complete the Enviro BreakOut with Mrs Daniel. Here's what they said about it:

"We were finding the clues. I liked the part when we wrote them down, cause we were reading carefully". Siena

"It was epic!" Hayden

"I liked finding the clues, because it felt like finding treasure. I used the alphabet to crack the code. I counted to H and it was 8. I figured it out." Dean

"You have to use your brain, 'cause it is a riddle." Olivia

"It was fun to run around in the fresh air." Brodie

"You have to work hard to find the answers." Jessica

"We were looking behind trees and bushes." Chloe C

I felt fun and excited. I couldn't wait til we found the last clue." Jacob

I enjoyed it, because when i got to the last one I felt happy because i did all of them." Joshua

Enviro Adventures with Mrs Daniel

As part of our second Enviro Day, Room 20 set off on an "Alphabet Nature Hunt" all around the school. While we explored and recorded our findings the most wonderful thing happened; without prompting the children started picking up litter as we went. We created quite the pile! The collection of mainly food wrappers led to a discussion about naked lunches,

as a way of reducing rubbish at school. Tino pai Room 20! You're enviro stars.
