Year Six Launch 2026

 

Welcome back for another year or Education for Sustainability Year Six!  Lucy from K1 kicked off by bringing in one of the FORTY spaghetti squashes she grew at home with the seeds from the squash we ate last year.  AMAZING! 

All the classes worked hard in the mara to weed, feed, water and plant kumara seedlings.  We all got cherry tomatoes to eat that had ripened over the raumati.

Everyone agreed that the best Enviro lessons are outside lessons.

Next time we are going to do community work with the Youth Project.

Year Three Explore Our Enviroschool

 Today, Year Three had their first Education for Sustainability lesson with Ms Daniel. We reminded ourselves of all places around Sunnyhills that make us a GreenGold Enviroschool with a fun scavenger hunt.

Some highlights included:

- hot compost

- the bike track

- the bee hives

- an adventurous walk through the nghere (forest)

- apples in the orchard

- tomatoes from the Mara Kai

- The Green Room

Next time we are going on a digital explore of the Enviroblog and we are going to help in the Mara.

Year Three Plant Kumara, Munch Cucumbers and Promote Worms

 

Today Room 8 managed to get out in the Mara before the electrical storms to plant some kumara seedlings.  We picked to big cucumbers and two enormous marrows.  

Rooms 18 & 7 completed their worm posters and ate the cucumbers.  Don't the posters look awesome!

Next time we're hoping to make veggie pancakes for our last session.
