Gardening on Green Day


On the 13th of December is Green Day (Aka: Environmental day, Garden day).

On green day, everybody is encouraged to wear green and bring in seedlings such as zucchini, carrot, broccoli & lettuce.

On green day, lots of people have the opportunity to get into the school gardens and get their hands dirty. Unfortunately, because of the rain, only a few people got to get into the garden.

In the garden there was lots to be done. We had to replace all the soil in the garden boxes, pick out all the roots/ weeds that were in the soil and then plant, and finally, unreel the hose and water the new plants.

I got to help organise Green Day, be a journalist and actually get into the garden.

Green Day

Meet the "Green Team"


We are organising Green Day! This will be next Tuesday (14th December)! Everybody in the school will be involved getting our gardens ready so that when we return in 2022 there will be fresh produce.

We are also making a steaming compost heap! Fun!

We would like to involve everyone in the school who is keen and will be involved in planting, weeding, watering and piling on scraps on the compost pile. 

Autahi and Tautoru will be working in their own garden spaces.

Bring compostable materials: Dry leaves, any bunny/ chicken poo, seaweed, fresh cut grass, any compostable material... 

Bring along a seedling or two: tomato plant, beans, zucchini, lettuce, herbs...

Wear your green-est outfit!
