Kourarau Planting - Taking Action in our environment

It's been all over the news...well our news that is. What an amazing way to Take Action in our Environment with the day up at Kourarau Dam planting to improve the water quality. Here are some shots of the day.

On the bus and we're off!

Mother's Day Creating

A bit late to the reporting table, but here is a little project that may have made it home to a few mothers some weeks ago:

Hannah teaching a group how to fold card into boxes

More box folders

Dylan and Alice painting their rocks

The finished Mother's Day boxes. They contained a little poem and a specially decorated rock because Mum's Rock!
