Camp Kauri

Yesterday was our school end of year fun day. Kauri class had a sleepover at Kahikatea after a full day of games and fun!

Market Day

Get yourselves a beautifully crafted driftwood 'feel good' sign. Only $5 each. If you would like one please bring the cash and give to Rob. All proceeds go towards our end of year celebrations.

Bird nest

While working up at Kahikatea yesterday we noticed that another bird box has been inhabited by a new family of birds!

Irrigation

Yesterday we set up our irrigation system to water the fruit trees during the long, hot, dry summer holidays. We calculated the quantities, lengths and costs and then bought it with the money from the garden safari stall.

Duckling Brooder

Last week we made a duckling brooder to care for 5 of our school ducklings. They liked it but decided to go back to their mummy after a day in the classroom!

Kahikatea

On Friday afternoon we decided to work up at Kahikatea. It was a really relaxing and peaceful way to finish of the week.

Music with Jade

We had awesome fun this week playing all of the different instruments Jade brought in for us to try. It was great fun, thanks again Jade.

Kerikeri Garden Safari

Scout Arrowsmith and her Friend Sylvie from Paparore School did a fantastic job of raising $300 this weekend selling bee towels, honey and beeswax wraps. Great works girls!

Duck Feeder Prototype 2

On Friday for Enviro Day, the maintenance group worked together to create an improved duckfeeder that can hold more food and therefore not need filling so often. With the school holidays coming up we hope to only have to refill it a couple of times.

Enviroschools Green/Gold celebration

Yesterday afternoon we all celebrated becoming a green/gold enviroschool. We had an assembly with Councillors and representatives from Northland Regional Council. We were treated to cupcakes and fruit before our student enviro leaders took our visitors for a tour of the school.

Enviro Day

Term 3

Today we did a bit of general maintenance. We laid 40 concrete slabs to make access to Kahikatea easier. We also cleared the burn pile in the orchard and moved all of the fire wood on the school field!
