The Care Code -
Abi took this session with the staff, and took them through the Guiding Principles as part of our establishing the Care Code and being part of the Enviroschool Bronze programme.
These links will be posted up as part of the PD that took place. The next session in week 3 with Nicky Elmore our Enviroschools Facilitator from Auckland Council will take us on the next step to look at establishing our Care Code - that will have had input from all MBS staff 2016.
Trees for Survival
We have further saplings arriving with potting mix in the next week (week 2 term 3).
The saplings already with us have been potted on into the trainer pots and are looking well established with all the sun and rain we have received this winter 1st August. Now we will wait patiently for the rest to catch up.
Enviro School Gardens
Over the school holidays Noel has been busy rearranging the Hungry Worms to their new abode. They are now sitting nicely on a bench, which will enable the worm tea to be emptied into a bottle to sell. We think the worms may have gone into a dormant stage as there is little activity in the containers, because of the cooler conditions. Noel has observed this with his own worm bins at home. Important we don't overload these littlies at this stage!
Classroom Gardens
The classroom gardens are looking amazing with big cabbage coming out on Friday, kale and spinach. MBS Enviro Markets to commence this term. A generous amount of fertiliser will be added coming into spring to get the growth of new fruit and vegetables happening.
