Hello and a Compost Coloring Competition

I'm really looking forward to seeing you all again next week.  Or today if you're in bubble school.  Beginning in Week 7, Year 4 will be looking at the Wonderful World of Tea, Year Five will continue our look at Sustainable Energy and Year Six will be reviewing our Climate Change learning and beginning to take action. 

Until then, check out this super coloring competition promoting composting! I think we could all do with a spot of mindful coloring.  If you win, your coloring will get turned into a compost bin that you can keep.

Go to this website to print out the coloring page:

Keep sending me pictures of how you're enjoying your outdoor bubble.

Keep safe, be kind and have fun,

Mrs Daniel

Eco Challenge - Composting at home to help Mother Earth and fight climate change.

Composting and worm farming at home are a great way to help mother earth and help reverse climate change, as it creates nutrient rich soil and pulls carbon out of the atmosphere.

I'd love to see pictures of your own compost, worm farms, fruit trees or vege gardens. Email Me! Have fun outside tamariki ma.
