Garlic and Compost

We had another busy Enviro Day last week. We planted garlic because it was the shortest day of the year.

We also collected lots of dry brown leaves for our tumble composter.

Enviro Day

 Today we had an AWESOME enviro day. We were very busy. We cleaned out our old bug hotel and we made a new one. First, we had to bring all the stuff we collected from home up to the garden area. Next, we collected bricks and pinecones from all around our school.  We also collected rubbish on the way. We had to pull out weeds from the tops of the bug hotel so we can plant new flowers. We had to saw the bamboo with seniors helping us, we put this in the gaps.. We also added rocks, sticks and hay.

We also set up a new worm farm and a compost tumbler. We collected brown leaves to put in our compost.

By Puriri Class

We also harvested 4 bottles of worm tea. Kauri class has been using it for fertilise the trees in the orchard.

We have been learning about bugs. Here is some information we have learnt.

Daddy long legs are the most venomous spider in the world. I like Daddy long legs because they eat mosquitoes.- Ashlyn

Bugs help us to keep the balance. They also clean up, for example; maggots and mites eat gorse. Leaf veined slugs recycle compost. Centipedes, stink raoches, cock roaches and mites are the best. Neve

The bugs recycle. The bugs eat the rubbish. Astra

I like Tiger bugs because they are amazing rubbish eaters.- Alexis

Tiger slugs are interesting because they like milk from the cat bowl. Estelle

Mites kill the gorse and gorse is bad because gorse came from another country and it spreads everywhere.- Jimmy

Daddy long legs are the most poisonous spider in NZ. Leaf veined slugs are the specialest. Tiger slugs they have stripes.- Charlie

Bugs are good for the garden. And for the compost.- Olivia D

Tiger slugs clean up your outside chairs when you are asleep as night time. We look after bugs because they are good for the garden.- Olivia P

Adults hate bugs and only yucky bugs like say hmmmm tiger slugs and maggots. Why are we making a bug hotel? I will tell you. Because they help us like they recycle things for us like rubbish and other things too.- Harmony

A daddy long legs has poison in it but they cant poison us. Leaf veined slugs clean up seats. I like worms because they make worm pee.- Dayna

Earth worms and ants eat bird poo to clean up your deck so you dont step in it. Cockroaches eat compost for you. We have to make a hotel for bugs to make sure for them to be ok. Daddy long legs eat flies for you to protect your soup.- Rebeka

Sea Creature facts from Kaitlyn the Zoologist.

 Last week we were lucky enough to have a skype chat with a real life zoologist called Kaitlyn from Australia (she is Whaea Sarah's friend). We prepared a lot of questions to ask her and she could answer every single one!

We recorded the information that we learnt from her.

We have been learning to present our learning on a programme called 'Explain Everything' we are learning to:

-type in a text box

-draw

-change the back ground colour

-change the font size and shapes

-get photos from the internet and upload and crop them.

Here is what we have finished so far.

What do you thing of our layouts? Are they easy to read? Eye catching?\
