=Here you can see all the exciting news about the environment and the school. =

Last term Savannah, Lottie and Monique decided to make a sculpture for the wearable arts competition in the College Auditorium. We wanted to do this because our school was an enviro school, and we felt interested about it. We found out about it in assembly, because Mr Hooper announced it, and he stuck posters everywhere. We decided to do it after school at Monique’s house. We called it “Love the Simple Things”. We used straws, wood pellets, glue, glitter, cupcake holders, nails and more. When we got to the Auditorium we found our friends cheering us on. After, we needed to go on stage. Then they announced who won, sadly we didn’t but it was all about fun!!!

Ashton beach

Recently the Borough Greenies went for a trip to Ashton Beach, the Borough Greenies go there every year to pick up rubbish to help out the environment and community. This year when the Borough Greenies went and they picked up an awful lot of rubbish and Mr Wiedel even took his dog Ernie which they enjoyed. Mr Hooper And the leaders handed out some awards - Penny won the senior Borough Greenies award and Luke and Darcy won the junior award and Mr. Wiedel won the best dog owner award. We found all sorts of things like nappies, big pieces of metal, glass, fish skeletons and dead birds. Some of us even saw dolphins out at sea. The group that I (Kate Hatley) was in we had Mr. Wiedel as our supervisor and of course Ernie came with us. We had the opportunity to throw stick into the little river that runs into the ocean. We had a really great time at Ashton beach we can image all the animals we helped out!! And we can't wait to go back next year.

Room 6 and 4 had been working on their Inquiry, they thought building a chicken coop would be fun to do. They used a swing set, timber/wood, level/nail/hammers, netting, dog house, a lock, the colours of paint was yellow and white, a paint brush, old clothes and tools. They all came to school in mufti old clothes. Then they figured out were they wanted the chicken coop they decided they wanted it in the garden under a tree. The dads helped out with building the actual chicken coop. They use a bowl for the feeder. They use straw to make the be cosy for the chickens, All the children voted to the names of the chicken her is the results speedy, slipper, natella, Ginger bear and Bisect. At the end of the day we had all worked together and had fun working on the chicken coop said all the children. || ||
