We are well on our way with our Enviro-School Plan.
Each group will be following the Technology Design Process
- Identify a need / problem
- Research possible solutions
- Develop possible solutions
- Select best solution
- Build prototype / design
- Test / evaluate
- Communicate solution
- Redesign
Each group began by identifying what they know about their topic and discussed what it means to them and our school.
Children have brainstormed ideas and decided what they want to create.
Children have investigated our school environment, identified ideal spots to work on, and taken photos to draft plans.
Our ‘Reuse Reduce Recycle’ group is investigating the reuse of tractor and car tyres to repurpose as a playground sculpture or play feature - repurpose for swings, safety barriers or jumping beans.
Our Community Garden group is now planning to visit other schools to ask about their experiences and their advice.
Our Chicken Coop group has split into smaller groups and have designed their own chicken house.
Each group has researched information for their set task e.g. pests chickens get, advantages/disadvantages of different breeds of chickens, etc.
They have written letters to Green Bay School who have a school chicken coop and researching the health and safety procedures for children and chickens.
Each group is responsible for brainstorming possible funding sources and writing letters to seek support.
We are participating in our Enviro-School Inquiry every Monday and Tuesday from 1.15 - 2.30.
