Room+29+-+2010

Room 29 have been up to lot of different things that relate to Environmental Education.
 * What's Going On in Room 29? **

We have planted a scented seat which makes he environment outside our classroom a nice place to sit and relax. We have tsken cuttings from the neighbouring gardens and then planted various plants into the seat garden bed. Some of these plants include Rosemary, Sage, Daffodils and many more. We had to poke our fingers into the soil to make little holes for each cutting to sit it. Then we patted the soil down and watered the plants. The children have also created a book which includes statements about our learning. This project was focusses around the process of Participating and contributing. The video below shows how proud our class are of their new garden.

We have also been studying creation stories and making links to the Pounamu who are the guardians of our school. Mrs Elmore has taught us how to cut flax and we made ropes which are shown on our 'Maui and the Sun' artwork in the photos below. We have learnt lots about the Atua and how they look after the land that we live in.
