Conservation Week


Last week was Conservation Week. Conservation week is a time to really think about how we can care for our environment and about how we can make a difference! We watched an interesting video that taught us all sorts of important things, like where water comes from to the importance of insects!

We also went to Rona Beach for a beach clean up. We were happy to see that the beach was almost rubbish free!




After our beach clean up, some of us were exhausted!!


At assembly we found out different ways that we can help our environment. One way is to have LESS wrapping and packaging in our lunch boxes. Another way is to eat ALL our lunches and to put any food scraps in the RED food scraps bin. Also, all paper should go in the GREEN paper bins! Finally, Mr Ray and some of the older children have written to the council to find out how we can get a better system for recycling plastic and other things at our school. We are proud to be a Greengold Enviroschool! To find out more about Enviroschools and about what Muritai school is doing to make a difference please visit the enviroschool blog:
