Wednesday the 31 Oct some kids got together with some
teachers, Enviro-school facilitators and some people from our community that
have been involved with our school, to do the assessment to see if we had achieved
our Silver Enviro School award.
At 10am we met in room 10 for a waiata from room 8, and
introductions. We looked at what was
required to be an enviro school silver and looked at the plan for the day.
Then we broke into groups of 3 or 4 and did school tours,
looking at different part of the school including the garden, displays in the
hall and foyer, the trees planted with Forest and Bird and the Anzac garden. Ben, Aden and I took Susan.
We were taking notes on paper leaves of things that met the
principles of the enviro school silver award.
Back at the class we put the leaves on the tree prepared by Nicola. We shared our findings and noted new ideas
and next steps at the base of the tree.
We had lunch in the old eco hut in the garden, which
included food from our garden. Several
of us got to try artichoke for the first time.
That day we even got a mulch delivered
In the afternoon we voted with our thumbs, up or sideways, whether
what we had achieved met each of the principles. If we were confident we put the principle in
the confident kiti, or in the talk some more kiti if we weren’t sure.
At the end of the day we got SILVER!
