Time Machine Junk Box Challenge

 On Friday LZ1 took part in a Junk Box Challenge. They had to design and build a Time Machine from materials from the Junk Box. First the classes were split into groups that had to collaborate, plan and design a Time Machine. Then they went to the hall class by class to create their designs. It was a great way to show teamwork and creativity. Mrs Marshall had the onerous job of judging.

Trees For Survival

  We had a really great day with students, parents and Andrew. Everyone was very enthusiastic and it took no time at all to get all the plants planted. The students were so well behaved and a pleasure to work with. Planting along this area of the Rangitopuni will reduce runoff and sediment build up in the stream. Planting will also create a native plant corridor providing a habitat and food source for birds and insects. It would be good to see other landowners along the Rangitopuni take part in this programme. Dairy Flat School would be keen to be part of a restoration programme. No of Teachers at the planting day: 2 No of Students at the planting day: 24 No of Parents/Other helpers at planting day: 8 Length of waterway planted in metres: 50

TOTAL AMOUNT OF PLANTS PLANTED: 770

~~Trees For Survival~~

Trees for survival is an educational programme planting trees and growing them.Trees for survival requires lots of organisation. It started 20 years ago. 1.5 million trees 2016-2020 have been planted. Over 70,000 children are involved across the world.

We went to a farm on Blackbridge Road to do our tree planting. Trees for survival was fun and it was muddy so I was jumping in the squishy gross brown mud. We had to jump on the spade like a pogo stick to get the spade in the ground.

We went to the farm to plant trees. We planted trees to help landowners revegetate, to help animal habitat, stop dirt getting into waterways and support the hill.

We also planted trees for Matariki too. Matariki is a time for a new beginning and Maori new year planted trees for our environment.

Trees for survival

Trees for survival is a program for providing us oxygen shelter and cleaning our water ways.

It is an environmental planting day. Also a survival day to help our environment from pollution in the air. What you plant are native trees on farms and near waterways or wetlands.

This year we went to a farm on Black Bridge road to do our tree planting.

This year we planted a round 800 native trees. This year was really fun.

I had 4 sausages for lunch. The farmer had a big steam and it had eels. We fed them lunch!!

Trees for survival requires lots of organisation. Trees for survival started 20 years ago. Over 1.5 million trees have been planted and over 5000 schools have been involved.This year  globally 91,000 trees planted. Over 70,000 children are involved across the world!!

Trees for survival trees can support the hill to stop land slides and can stop bad flooding. Trees for survival gets kids out to help our environment and getting some fresh air kids.Planting during Matariki is related because it is a time of new beginning!

Trees for Survival

Trees for Survival is a way of preserving native New Zealand trees.

We do it to purify water and support the hills around us.

Also, we do it to provide habitats for small animals such as mice and birds.

It is the day that happens once a year where students all over the world plant native trees.

We went to Blackbridge Road to plant native trees in unstable land. Splashing in the mud was really fun.

Digging square holes was awesome because they looked like minecraft  grass blocks. We looked at the eels in the creek, they were absolutely giant. We fed the eels and they slithered everywhere and ate everything we gave them.

Trees for survival is a native tree planting day. We carefully plant trees native to New Zealand. We plant trees in farmers' unstable land.

*~~Trees for Survival~~*

Trees for survival helps us survive by providing oxygen, shelter and cleaning the water.

In 2019 over 91,00 trees were planted and over 5000 school students were involved.

Native trees help build habitats and that means animals can live there and have babies and then we have more animals in New Zealand.

Trees for survival is and educational programme planting trees and growing them,

our class planted plants for our natives' survival.

We went to a farm on Blackbridge Road to do our tree planting. The class dug and pushed on the shovel on the hard muddy ground.

It's important because it's for our world's survival and our survival so we can breathe and so animals can have great habitats instead of plastic.

Calendar Art LZ1JF

LZ1JF has finally completed all of our Calendar Art for 2020.  Please scroll down and find your child's work of art.  There is a story behind these creations...

They are a loose response to our recent Covid experience in lock down.  We explored our emotions using many mediums and expressive movement.  What evolved was the face of an animal of choice.

I hope you enjoy them.
