Garden Maintenance
At lunch today we watered the orchard and our plants using our new watering cans that Prolife Foods gave us. Eventually we will have an irrigation system. We tidied up and trimmed the peas and broad beans. These went into our new compost bins. Mrs Cammell and Mrs Venville helped us.

Want to audition for What Now on TVNZ2.? Read this
From Kate Morgan - a researcher for children’s television show, What Now on TVNZ2.
What Now are currently on the hunt for outgoing and passionate Kid Presenters for 2017 in the Auckland area. I was wondering if there might be anyone between the ages of 6-12 years that a teacher or principal at your school might be able to suggest who is passionate about:
· Coding
· Magic
· Crafts
· Music
· Science
· Film making
· Exercise
· Building things
· Baking
· OR ANYTHING ELSE
We would love if you could please share this flier with those children who might be interested in submitting an audition tape via YouTube (introducing themselves, telling and showing us about what they are passionate about in no longer than one minute) by next Monday 28th November!
Best,
Kate

How Long Does Rubbish Take To Decompose?
Today we spent time with our buddy class to work out how long various pieces of rubbish take to decompose. We were amazed how long many things took. Some never break down! Styrofoam, plastic and glass bottles are estimated to take 1 million years or never. Even aluminum cans take 200 to 500 years. Scary!

Creating our Outfits for Trash To Fashion Parade
Looked like bomb had exploded in R15 today. Lots of Green Hat thinking as the students created their outfits for the Trash To Fashion Parade on Wednesday. Lovely to see them cooperating, sharing and helping each other. Thank you to all the wonderful parents who helped. Couldn't have done it without you.
