Enviroschools Regional Event

On July 29th Nelson/Tasma Enviroschools held their regional event.
This involved a small groups of children from a number of local schools and a bus!


Here we all are, lined up for the welcome speech at Nayland Primary.

First stop was Nayland Primary where their envirogroups got to showcase
* paper making
* flax weaving
* stream monitoring
* Pa Harakeke (flax garden)


Here is the paper making team showing us how to create paper!


Kate Cobb (Enviroschools Facilitator for Tasman & Nelson) making some paper!!

After we left Nayland Primay we headed up here to the sanctuary for lunch and a look at the stream with Mel McColgan from Waimaori.


After lunch, some great fruit kebabs and a sanctuary talk - we bused over to Hira School where we were warmly welcomed with some beautiful singing and some freshly baked cookies!!! Thanks so much, Hira School!!


COOKIES!!!

At Hira School we toured ourselves round on a savenger hunt mission based on their marvellous racetrack that circles their perimeter. We got to see their stream monitoring team, their native nursery, herb garden and functional pizza oven!


Matt Lawrey turned up to report to take some pictures and report for The Leader.

Big thanks to the Enviroschools team for the well organised and fun trip!!!
Can't wait for next year!
