Eco Warriors doing the Mahi

 Our eco Warriors helped replenish the Mara Kai with much-needed nutrients to help our veges grow.

Thanks Team!

Hearty Year Five

 Year 5 investigated how active travel is good for our heart & muscles.  

First we discovered more about the heart by reading a text in our digital workbook:

Next, we recorded our pulse at resting, walking, running and cool down. Lastly, we graphed and analysed the results. 

After morning tea we got our heart beating by moving mulch to help our native trees grow. 

Next time, we're looking at how active travel is good for our muscles and mental health. 

Celebrating Conservation Week with Rotorua Island Educators

 

Today Year Six were lucky enough to celebrate Conservation Week with educators from Rotorua Island.

Rotoroa Island is a pest-free conservation sanctuary in Auckland’s Hauraki Gulf. It is an ecological and heritage destination.

 

We learnt about the importance of biodiversity, our unique native animals and what threatens them, with a presentation and five fun hands on team activities.

Tim and Sean made a summary of what they had learnt.  See it here

Perhaps you can plan a family outing to Rotoroa Island next school holidays 🏝️🦜🛥️
