Room 10
Enviro Projects 2009

Project 1: In term 1, Room 10 started the year by learning all about the environment. The students understood the importance of our school and home environment. They also learned about their PEPEHA. Our mountain is Maungakiekie and the students researched a lot about it. They integrated art with Enviro Education. media type="custom" key="4435247" width="80" height="80"

Project 2: When learning about water, the students had an issue in the classroom. They used the watering cans to fill water from the class sink. This caused dripping and often some children slipped and hurt themselves. So they worked on options and thought installing Rainwater Tanks would be a great idea. The students went through the Action Cycle and have understood the process really well. media type="custom" key="4435175" Room 10 had a **celebration** for the completion of their class projects. There was a Maori blessing and many parents were involved. The children cut some spinach from our tyre garden and some parents helped them to make spinach scones. The beetroots were also used to make beetroot muffins. There was a shared lunch after the ceremony. We had many parents who joined the class in the celebration.The students sang waiata and made speeches in Maori.

Room 10 enjoys growing vegetables in tyres. We work hard removing weeds and keeping the garden tidy.
