Sustainable Room5ians




Room5ians have expressed an interest in sustainable farming, growing 'clean, green' food and raising free range organic chickens for eggs.


If we can plan and implement a realistic programme for developing an area of the school as an organic, sustainable "farmlet", and we are prepared to stick with it and follow it through, we have permission to do so.


Please state all the positives, potential barriers, solutions and innovative ideas you have.


Why should we? How can we? Do you want to? What will we do to make it happen?


Add as much information here as possible and make posts on your own blogs to add further info. If we really want to we can make this happen.


Go for it!


Enviroschools philosophy is:


"Imagine...a generation of innovative and motivated young people, who instinctively think and act sustainably.
Enviroschools is working towards this vision through a whole school approach to environmental education. Students develop skills, understanding, knowledge and confidence through planning, designing and creating a sustainable school. Action projects undertaken by enviroschools have both environmental and educational outcomes that benefit the school and the wider community."

to our audience

I suspect quite a few people are checking out our blog [over 10,000 last year], but hardly anyone ever leaves us a comment.
We in Room5 would reeeeeeeeeally appreciate anyone taking time to contact us by leaving a comment.
Mr Teehan in New Jersey has been superb in this respect. Thanks to Mr Teehan and his class, who we now blog with and hope to share podcasts, etc, once we get out IT issues sorted at this end.
I know there are classes in NZ with great blogs so please contact us to allow a sharing of ideas and friendship. It seems odd that our only friends so far are all the way over in America. [cool though!]

Room5ians - would you enjoy blogging with kids from other schools in NZ? What sort of things could you do together to make learning more interesting or fun?

Prizes for the most innovative, creative, exciting ideas.
