Enviro in Room 3

This year we have made several starts on enviro projects and then found they weren't the best options for us. Firstly we decided to look at planting. This led us down the path of looking into riparian planting. We got enthused about this and then realised that riparian planting is probably something that needs to be done on a big scale. ⚘πŸŽ•πŸŽ•πŸŽ•πŸŽ•πŸŽ•
Next we got extremely excited about the idea of taking the school paddock and turning it into a community enviro friendly space. The kids came up with the most amazing ideas and we were off and racing..... Then I had a moment of clarity and realised that was a HUGE project and maybe we should start with something just a tad smaller. We chatted and realised that the school grounds could actually do with some more enviro up-grades and we should look at this before moving to a new space. This was met with a wee bit of disappointment but we got over that and realised that tackling the school grounds was much more manageable and achievable. 
So - third time lucky - we are now off and racing again, this time with a focus on improving different areas in and around the school. 
We have split into 5 groups and are investigating: 

Art in the Environment  πŸ–ΌπŸ–ŒπŸ–Œ

Junior Play Areas in the Environment πŸ™Œ

Trees and Plants in the Environment 🌳🌺🌷

Animals in the Environment 🐜🐌

Chill Out Zones in the Environment πŸ‘ŒπŸ˜ŒπŸ˜Ž

We are using the following to assist us with our inquiry into these areas. 


We are busy recording what we KNOW, what we WANT to know and HOW we can find out. This relate to the first 3 letters on the chart above. 


Stay tuned to see where we go from here......
