Rainbow warriors!

On Thursday we had the very first meeting of the new Eco Warriors group for the Year 0 to 3 children.  We are called the RAINBOW WARRIORS and we are going to meet every Thursday.  

For our first meeting we walked around the school gardens.  We looked carefully and thought about how we could look after our school environment.  Then we worked in groups to brainstorm some fantastic ideas...  

• tidying up rubbish 

• looking after insects and other creatures 

• making good bugs come to our school gardens 

• plant more flowers

• watering the garden

• making beautiful stuff

• looking after plants

• look after the creatures' habitats

• make signs to tell people how to look after the gardens

• plant more vegetables

• grow pumpkins and strawberries

• grow other food plants - blueberries, watermelons, bananas etc

• look after the monarch caterpillars

Next time we will look at all these exciting ideas and make a plan about what to do first.
