Room 6 Maori Warriors

Room 6 have been researching traditional Maori clothing. They made their own characters using waste materials and dressed them in traditional costumes.

This week we had our first Litterless Lunch challenge.  The students were encouraged to bring a rubbish free lunch box.  We were impressed that the majority of students brought a healthy lunch without any plastic that would end up in the landfill.  All students that met the criteria went into a draw which we did at our school assembly.  Room 5 student voice students, Darcy and Max presented the lucky students, Tom and Oskar  with their environmentally friendly toothbrushes that were donated to us by our Waste wise facilitator.  

Who did you vote for?

Room 5 studied all the products that were nominated for the Unpackit 2012 awards. We presented information about them and encouraged our community to vote for the best and the worst packaging. Who did you vote for?

How to make a Litterless Lunch

Litterless Lunchboxes

Room 3 have been talking about what makes a litterless lunch so they know what to do on our first litterless lunch this week.  Thay made their own lunch boxes with the sort of food they think is suitable for our litterless lunch day.
