Our trip to the Envirocenter

Gizzy Kai Rescue.

Today Tawhirimatea and Tane Mahuta went to the Envirocentre. We did six activities and they were all really fun. Here are the six activities that we did.

1. Gizzy Kai Rescue. At there we learned that they rescue food that would be thrown out and they give it to families who don't have enough food for themselves.
2. The six Rs: Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Replace and Rot. If you don't need something you can REFUSE it.
3. We also went out in to the garden and had some carrots, peas and you will never guess:FLOWERS. I know, can you actually eat flowers? Yes you can well some of them.
4.  Beeswax wrappers are so fun to make, because I've made them. Thats right we also made those!
5. Do you want to find out how to have a waste free lunchbox? Then go to the envirocentre.
6. And last but not least Waste Free Events. We learnt how to have a party without all the waste. 

My favorite part was when we got to go in to the DUMP!!! [Not real] It was dark and there was a huge RAT!!!! I am wondering can we go back next year?

Hello everyone. Today we are working on our enviroschool work and today we were talking about the five guiding principles. Then Mrs Hall told us to go and find examples of how we use these principals at Makaraka School. This one is about us at camp with our atua sculptures. Ok I have to go now but I hope enjoy reading it!!
