Wool for birds nests

We will be collecting wool and cages for the Mummy birds to put in their nests! Drop them off in Room 5 if you have any!

Our Gardening Club

Friday was a beautiful day and just perfect for the first meeting of our Gardening Club. We will be out in the garden every Friday lunchtime (as long as the weather holds). So bring your gumboots and come join us!

August Working Bee

The PERFECT day for a spot of gardening!

 With so many hands we were able to get loads of work done. Thank you SO much for all your dedication and help!

Take a moment and come over and see what we have been up to!

Paper4Trees

We are very excited to announce that we are officially a Paper4Trees School. The more paper we recycle the more Native Trees we get! Let's get recycling!

Miss Greenfield's next crazy idea...

Where in our school could this go? Ideas please!

The Great Postcard Project

Most of the classes are taking part in the Great Postcard Project. The stamps will be arriving early next week so you can begin to get them posted off. Remember to try and include something about Boulcott's budding sustainable environment.

For those of you who would like to use Te Reo Maori on your postcards here are a few ideas:

• We care for our environment. - Ka tiaki matou i ta tatou taiao.
• We are caretakers of our earthmother. - He kaitiaki matou i a Papatuanuku.
• We learn about taking care of our environment. - Ka ako matou i nga tikanga ki te tiaki i te taiao.
• We enjoy working to care for our environment. - Ka harikoa matou i nga mahi hei tiaki i te taiao.
• We are all responsible for protecting our environment. - Na tatou katoa te kawenga mo te tiaki i te taiao.
• We grow food - Ka tipu kai matou.
• We plant trees - Ka whakato rakau matou.
• We save water - Ka rahui wai matou.
• We save energy - Ka rahui pungao matou.
• I / we walk to school - Ka hikoi au / matou ki te kura. 

I can't wait to see the postcards we get back!

Ever thought of making a Bean Teepee?

Don't you think Boulcott could do with some of these?  If I had one I would do lots of reading in mine. What would you do inside yours? Click on the picture for step-by-step instructions!

To great beginnings ...

 We had a wonderful day digging and planting the beginnings of our Community Garden project. The idea behind this is we will, as a school, broaden our community, giving everyone a place to come and plant their veggies.
To all the kids, parents and staff that joined in THANK YOU! We hope to have another gardening day soon. Watch this space.
