Enviro Kids Week 9 Term 3 2013

Kia Ora Whanau!

Welcome to week 9 and our final week of the term.

This week the Enviro Kids have planted some seed potatoes that will be ready to harvest before the Christmas holidays.

 

We made sure that they had all sprouted.

 

 

We dug two trenches to put the potatoes in.

 

 

Then we carefully placed the seed potatoes into the trench and covered them lightly with soil.

 

 

Now we will watch for green shoots popping up and cover them with more soil.

 

Watch this space!

 

And have a lovely break over the holidays! Happy gardening!

Kia ora whanau!

This week the fabulous Enviro Kids have been creating some amazing artwork from recyclable materials.

We want to give a big THANK YOU to all those families who diligently collected bottle tops for us.

We like to make use of things that would normally be thrown away and change what happens to them.

Check out our garden art!

Thank you Mt Eden Village People-Fruit trees for Auckland!
This week has seen the planting of our first orchard. We are very lucky to have had these trees provided for free by Mt Eden Village People group.
We are even luckier that Juanita and Paul Tetley organised their collection and brought them to school for us! Thank you Juanita and Paul!
On Wednesday Bob planted 2 feijoa trees, 2 plum trees and 3 citrus trees. We now have a fabulous new orchard outside Room 2!
Thank you Bob!

  

                         

This week the Enviro Kids planted some more strawberries. We are hoping to get lots to share. The plants that we put in a few weeks ago are flowering nicely. We now hope the bees come to call.
