 Keifer found that wasps are attacking our honey bees. He's going to investigate how to protect our bees from wasps, by either eradicating the wasp nests or creating wasp traps. What an awesome empowered student. 

Stay tuned to see Keifer's solution.

Empowered Learners Taking Action

 Taylor from Year Five wanted to see the Waste Video we made last year. Afterwards we wanted to take action to encourage more litter free lunches. We made 'Packet Monster' Posters to display around school. Did you pack a litter-free lunch today?

Reflecting On Our Journey

 Wakaaranga tamariki are excitedly preparing to showcase our sustainability journey. Checkout these beautiful invitations for our GreenGold Reflection Day on Friday 31st March:

Year Toru Being Waste Wise

 We're learning about how the FBI (fungus, bacteria and invertebrates) break down our food waste to make new soil for growing more food.

13 tamariki from Rooms 13 & 27 have composts at home

9 tamariki have a worm farm at home.

Diverting food waste stops it turning into climate change gases in the landfill.

13 last week had a litter free lunch.  This week 15 have completely litter free lunches.  Well Done!
