Enviro Kids Term 1 2014

Welcome back to another fabulous year at Sylvia Park School!

We have a whole new batch of Enviro Kids to help care for our edible gardens.

Enviro Kids Final Harvest week 8 Term 4 2013

Kia Ora Whanau!

Those amazing Enviro Kids worked really hard on Wednesday and achieved sooooo much!
Neither snow, nor sleet, nor rain pouring down could stop them.

They harvested the potatoes and the silverbeet.

 

Dug out the strawberry plants and put them in a bucket with some soil to take home and nurture them for even more strawberries.

 

 

Made and drank strawberry smoothies with the strawberries we had harvested and kept in the freezer until we had enough for everyone. Yum, yum, yum they tasted great! Thank you Mrs Hart for the idea.

 

 

 

 

Completed and created even more fabulous art from recycled bottle tops. Thank you Bob for all your help with the drilling of holes!

 

 

And not only all that, but, they also cooked up a storm of delicious new potatoes with mint, (also taken from our gardens), and ate them with butter. Great work Enviro Kids! You Rock!

 

 

That was our final day for Enviro Kids for the year and we want to thank everyone who has supported us and encouraged us to keep on making a difference in our school gardens. Have a wonderful break over the summer holidays and we look forward to another amazing year in 2014!

Enviro Kids Week 5 Term 4 2013

Welcome to week 5 everyone! We hope you have been enjoying the lovely sunny weather. This has been helping our plants grow, especially the strawberries, but of course we have had to do a lot more watering.

 

Happy gardening everyone!

Enviro Kids week 4 Term 4 2013

Kia Ora Whanau!

This week we have been using recyclable materials to create some awesome garden art.

We started by drilling holes in the many coloured milk bottle tops that everyone has collected. We were very lucky to have Bob to help us. Thank you Bob!

Then we threaded them onto our steel pole.

 

We love recycling!

Look for these art works in our gardens after next week.

Enviro Kids Week 3 Term 4 2013

Kia ora Everyone! Well, it may be a short week but we have packed in plenty of watering, weeding and harvesting!

 

 

Lucky Room 16 gets to take these home this week!

 

We hope you all had a good break over Labour Weekend and got the chance to enjoy the lovely weather.

Last week we used our collection of strawberries to make smoothies! Yes, they tasted as good as they looked!
