18th May 2011 - Green Britain Day
The Green Britain Day Bunting was in place, with footprints leading the way. The wind turbine and solar energy products we won from taking part in "Switch off Fortnight" and a display board of all the groups achievements were put up outside in the Science courtyard, then the bell went and the rain poured, and everyone dashed for cover! No pics were even taken!
One year 8 class who are studying ecology had a workshop to make a "Bug Hotel" for insects to nest and hybernate in. They used elderwood, potato peelers and pokie out sticks.
They peeled the Elder sticks with potato peelers and pushed out the pith of the stick using a pokie out stick, they then bundled about 10 sticks together with string and they where hung in the woodland area of school.
In a couple of weeks time they can revisit the Bug Hotels and investigate which bugs have made use of them. Some were hung high in the branches and some lower down.
