Welcome to Stratford Primary!

Stratford Primary School (SPS) are forging ahead with their enviro - action with the 'SPS TUI's' leading the way! We are looking forward to finding out more about their plans and action via this blog.

Up-cycling our Planter Tray

On Friday the Enviro group up-cycled our planter tray. 
Thanks to Bunnings who provided us with this very cool colour. 
The kids had a great time and are excited to begin planting.

Welcome to Puketapu Kindergarten!

A big welcome to Puketapu Kindergarten - the first kindergarten to join the blog! They have an amazing centre with so many fantastic enviro features - very impressive! Puketapu Kindergarten has 45 little ones, 4 teaching staff (Emma, Alayne, Maree, and Rachel) and their administrator Corene. Can't wait to see your posts on the blog so schools can see what your 3 and 4 year olds have available!

Ideas Welcome!

We would like your HELP please!!

Today we have had a digger in who has recovered a huge pile of land. We would appreciate any advice or ideas around what we could do with this area? 

Things we have considered:
- Fruit orchards
- Community vege garden


We are feeling overwhelmed!!

Welcome to Matapu School!

Massive welcome to Matapu School, who are pretty into technology already! When I visited I sat in on a robotics class run by Principal Jarad Chittendon. I learnt heaps, robots weren't something I had played with before! Their enviro leader is Miss Leesha Clark, who is also Matapu School's Year 2/3 teacher.

Welcome to Waitoriki School!

A huge welcome to Waitoriki School. They are out the back of Inglewood, and have 19 students at the school. There is Mr Steenson who is the principal and teacher, Mrs Downer who is our lovely teacher aide, and Mrs Wilkinson who is our sometimes Friday and Thursday teacher. There is also Mrs George who works in the office. Welcome! Can't wait to see what you guys are up to.

Welcome to Toko School!

Welcome to the blog project Toko School! Toko School are trialling a different way of posting - they are sharing posts from their own enviro-blog so they don't double up on work. To read about their activities or ideas you can click on the link in the post, which will take you to their blog.

A link to their enviro-blog is on the right hand side under 'Related websites of blogs'. They used to have an individual chicken blog and orchard blog, but now they have been combined. Its all about thinking smarter, not necessarily working harder!
