Enviro-School Update

Woodhill Senior Whānau students are continuing our journey towards becoming a self-sustaining Enviro School as they build a kit-set Greenhouse.  Our students approached the build as a problem -solving project.  The project tasks were divided in three, and the three groups were lead by William Roland, Te Warana Ratima and Matire Ratima. Under the watchful eyes of Mrs C, Mr C and Fiona Roland, each group put together different parts of the Greenhouse.  As they worked, Senior Whānau students used skills such as interpreting instructions, problem-solving and cooperating as a team.  

Soon, students will begin to raise seedlings in the Greenhouse, then sell them, thus practicing authentic budgeting and business management skills. They have already started planning and designing advertising for this project in sustainability.  

A huge thank you to Mr C and Fiona Roland for donating their valuable time to help and to Bayer for their funding of this project via the Bayer Primary School Science Award.  Watch this space for Part Two of the Greenhouse build.  

 

Junior Whanau - Enviro-School Update

We are very fortunate to have had our senior school establish our greenhouse. 

Our junior whanau have been busy investigating types of plants to begin to grow as seedlings in our new green house. We potted a variety of vegetable plants, sun flowers and swan plants.
