For Bookweek We explored Amazing Books In Art and Sustainability

26/8/2022

We had fun during Art and Sustainability exploring the books ‘Iceberg’ and ‘Bee Hotel’ for Bookweek.
Junior students read ‘Bee Hotel’ and were excited to observe how well our Bee Hotel is providing a home for native bees.
Middle and Senior students read ‘Iceberg’ and discussed how global warming is endangering animals and habitat in Antarctica.

Students are learning about food in Indonesian this term so in Sustainability classes students prepared and cooked the vegetables we grew in our veggie gardens. We had a shared lunch, where everyone tried the Nasi Goreng (Fried Rice) and Bakwan Jagung (Corn Fritters) and loved them.
Thanks to all the students who made the cooking sessions a great experience. Thanks to the parents and Mr Dalton who visited the kitchen on the Learning Walk.

Bread Tags - Our bread tags have been mailed to Transmutation in Robe, where they make them into bowls and platters for shops like Country Road, Check out what they do and sell at https://www.transmutation.com.au/
Pens and Textas - The textas, pens and other writing materials have been dropped off at Officeworks, where they are sent to be separated and cleaned and melted down and recycled into new plastic products such as outdoor furniture and decking, plastic shipping pallets, watering cans, storage containers and bins, tubes for construction applications, flooring tiles, playground surface covers and athletic fields.

Well done to all our families who made changes to their plastic use during Plastic Free July. The amazing response by students and families to make sure they bring Nude Food to school shows the commitment they made. We’d love to hear about what other things you’ve been doing to be plastic free at home. Email your photos and what you’re doing at home.
