The Middle School have been lucky enough to take part in a new learning initiative called Environmental Studies. Once a week, learners are taught by Ms Sealy in G3.
The focus of the class is how we can look after our environment, including of our fauna and flora. Throughout the classes, students spend time learning in our school environment, showing commitment as a Green-Gold Education for Sustainability school.
During week five, Year 4 classes were learning about endangered animals. As it was Sea-Week, learners investigated how to save New Zealand’s own Maui’s dolphin.
Room 30 continued their learning about Sea-Week back in class. A virtual field trip was taken to Ohiwa Harbour in the Bay of Plenty. Learners had the opportunity to ask experts some questions and study how we can protect places like Ohiwa Harbour, all around New Zealand.
