New Year, new projects and new ways to be sustainable. It has been a while since the last post. So I'll do my best to fill you in. Over 2015, the E-Team has been busy! The year was great, we entered a competition to make a short film about sustainability. It was a great experience with the year eights that have now left the team.
Also, last year, we got out butterfly garden up and running! The butterfly garden is by the staffroom. Teachers get to enjoy watching butterflies coming and going. Teachers can also watch the tomatoes turn from green to red.
Another project that we have done is all about composting! We have gotten our food scraps together using coloured bins. Our purple bin is for general waste, our mint-green bin is food scraps, the yellow bin is for citrus and finally our blue plastic bin! We distribute these bins to each class every single day.
We have also got two more gardens! One of the gardens is a flower garden, the second garden is a vegetable garden, in our school, we have a gardening gang of volunteers that monitor, water and weed the gardens to keep them healthy and beautiful!!!
This year, the enviro team is aiming for green gold, this means we are aiming for an amazing award that is for our environmental efforts. The way that we celebrate this is always different, each student in the Enviro team can earn a badge, to recognize what the team has done. Also to say "I'm a member of the enviro team". This year our focus is to get everything up and running like a well-oiled enviro machine. We are organising a working bee so stay tuned to hear how you can help!!!
