Whitebait monitoring - Whaka Inaka


Recently myself and two helpers (Brooke and Matthew) went down to the river to check on our whitebait bales. We are working with EOS Ecology in a project to promote whitebait regeneration. Have a look on their Facebook page for more information - https://www.facebook.com/Whaka-Inaka-1492048174455601/                  We checked the bales for their condition, see whether the pest cards have had any activity and report any other damage to EOS so their team can repair the site if required. 

Here are some photos of us checking out the whitebait sites.

Food for thought supermarket visit

On Wednesday last week Room 16 walked down to the St Martin's New World as a part of our Food for Thought lessons. Chloe had taught us about everyday day options and sometimes options. We had to pick everyday and sometimes options for cereals, snacks, dairy and bread. This was really eye-opening and has made us think a lot about the choices we make when it comes to food.  A big thank you to our parent helper's for coming with us to the supermarket. :)
