Transpower Community Award - Our new play area!

In the Enviroteam, we have been very busy making plans for a new play area between room 7 and room 6. In that space there is going to be seating and a sand pit with a wave wall. The people in the team all had a job to ask someone in there family or to do some research about our plans. We have just talked to Jess, the engineer about are plans for the play area. She said it was a very good plan and then we all shared what we had done at home with Jess.

Alisha got some plans of the school from her Dad to find out if there was any thing under the ground where we wanted to build. We were worried that there might be sewer pipes or electrical cables. They said that there was nothing under the ground near where we are doing the play area. Tanya, Dipwanita, Priya and Jhanvi drew an amazing scale model of our design. Jess was very impressed! Hannah Shaw, Casey and Haylee were working on getting quotes for some boulders, and Laura and Hannah Burdan have consulted with school children about our plans.

Then she shared some plans and ways for us to organise the project. She also had some amazing stuff to tell us. She told us what engineers do. They do so many different things!
