What a load of Rubbish

Last week we went to see all the rubbish our school createdin one day. It wasn’t as much as expected. Sarah from Waste Education Services was the one talking to us about it. She and
some children from Rm 6 sorted it into groups, plastic, paper and food scraps. I’m glad I wasn’t sitting right in front of the food scraps- they smelt!

Some day this week we are going to try not to have any plastic in our lunch at all whatsoever. It’s amazing that only two people in the whole of another school forgot not to have plastic in their lunch.

Tivaevae at the Suter

When Room 3 went on our last Suter trip we learned all about
Tivaevae. We learned how to make it, who makes it and made a square of Tivaevae ourselves - but out of paper. When Room 3 got back to school Sue put it up on the wall in a big square. Each time you walk into the classroom it is the first thing that captures your eye because it is so colourful. At the Suter there is a big Tivaevae on the floor with cushions that look a bit like flowers. By the time we got there all of us were staring at it saying "wow". I can't wait till we have another trip there.
