Room 3 Discover Some Mini Mates

Today Room 3 had our first Eviro lesson with Mrs Daniel. We went to the edible gardens to learn more about fruit, veges and how Sunnyhills is growing sustainably.



While we were there we learnt lots of Te Reo Maori names the fruit and veges and how everythingis interrelated. Do you know what an aporo is?


With our super powers of observation we noticed lots of little mini beasts in our gardens. Mrs Daniel said some were garden helpers. There were lots of curious questions, so next week we're going to break into buzz groups to research what we saw. Stay tuned for when we report back!!

Look what we found in our next lesson:

Room 3's Helping Hands with Trees For Survival

On Thursday Room 3, along with Lynda Wylie from Auckland City Council and Mrs Daniel, put in a mammoth effort to replant over 250 seedlings, as part of the Trees For  Survival project.

Eventually these native seedlings will be planted out into the community to form new habitats. What a fabulous legacy for our graduating Year 6's to pass on to future generations.

With it being such a rainy day, we were all very glad of the new covered senior court yard. What a great learning space.

Special thanks goes to Lynda for all the time she has put into helping Sunnyhills School begin their TFS journey this year. And a big well done to Room 3 for our biggest planting day yet.
