Update:
Construction team. (bottle green house) Meeting every Thursday Lunchtime with Mr Marsh. We have build all the frames, need to start cutting bottles, Ash to talk with Mrs G about a note in our newsletter regarding the 1.5 litre plastic fizzy bottles. Mr Marsh is getting more timber to thread the bottles. Estimated time to finish end of Term 2 (hopefully). Place to sit it? Possibly still the friendship garden. Yuda reminded us that this area is prone to flooding, need to look at drainage.
Gardening gang. Meet Monday’s lunchtime seedlings were planted outside the office yesterday. Weeding getting up to date. This group is also going to work with Sustainability Trust to build a new compost (was cancelled yesterday due to sickness, Mrs S is negotiating another date). Corn and tomatoes are ready to harvest. (although the corn has a pest on it... Zena and Heather to research into ways to organically remove the pests.) Flowers have been planted in the planter boxes and cleaned it up. They harvested the seeds for the flowers for re planting. (Teachers Mrs Wardle, Dianne).
Idea: Hui meeting was last Monday night, they have expressed an interest in participating in another working bee. Our thoughts: church possibly to provide the morning tea. Hui are possibly interested in the BBQ sausage sizzle. We could have a gardening gang. We discussed finishing our friendship garden area...looking at paving for the floor, constuction of the bottle green house. Al offered dirt from his house for the flooring/feijoas etc. Screens? Finish the mural (painting) and corrigated tin murals. Area beind the playground, turn it into a orchard??

Paper for Trees - Heather and Zena in charge. Made document re collection of data for paper recycling, we are too late for this round, but it is worth recording the data. Mr Marsh was ringing waste management to get the paper waste data. Heather will check with Mr Marsh as to how he got on.
