Our Visit to Owairaka School

This term we are learning about Creativity. One of the exciting projects that the Year 2s are investigating is whether Meadowbank School is a good school to look after chickens. We visited Owairaka School because they have chickens so that we could learn from them what it takes to look after chickens at school.

Here is a video of some of the things we saw and learnt.

Share what you learnt from our trip to Owairaka School or what you enjoyed seeing.

 

Worm farming

Today we met with Mrs Elmore who taught us how important it is recycle our food scraps. We learnt that our food scraps can be nasty if it ends up in the landfill. But the worms can turn our food scraps into good compost for our gardens.

It is our job to collect the food scrap and put it into the worm farms.

Having a litterless lunch box is a good idea if we want to keep our school clean and tidy. This will also stop plastic from getting into the worm farm.

What do we need to do to look after the worm farm?
