Weeding

Today in Enviroschools we started weeding our vegetable gardens. Hopefully soon we can head to our local mitre 10 and buy some winter crops to plant.

Pen Pals

Room 3 have started communicating with a class, same age as us, in Canada. In this photo we are reading our emails for the first time.

This afternoon in our enviroschools group, we compared our world, our country to an apple. It was a really powerful activity which really shocked us and put things into perspective. We also unpacked "what is environment?" Then "how are we putting pressure on it?" We realised we can't change our world tomorrow, nor our country. But what we can do, is start making a change within our school and our habits will flow back into the community and homes.

Outdoor classroom

It is so hot at the moment in our classroom, we decided to go outside into our brand new fort and do our maths session in there. It was nice to get out amongst the breeze and the birds.

For statistics today, we went outside and recorded the different colours of cars which went past Bulls School. Once we had our data, we then had to display it into a bar graph and write a summary on it.

Library revamp

Our library is in the schools old dental clinic. It is very small and crammed which has resulted in it being unorganised and not an overly exciting place to visit. The year 5/6 students have decided there is better ways of utilising the space in the library, so we got investigating with a birds eye view map and manovered furniture around. Once the librarians have been appointed, the will look at the plans and take them on board.
