Friendly Footprints

Rooms 4 and 5 made friendly footprints all the way to the Senior School to explore how Muritai is an Enviroschool. Lulu and Kate were our enviro tour guides!

Firstly we went to see the big rubbish bins by the school library. In the big orange bin we place everything that is going to the landfill. In our new flash blue bin we put paper to be recycled. Our G.O.O.S.E. paper ends up either in the big blue bin or Mrs Skilton uses it for photocopying. Sometimes we draw on the G.O.O.S.E. paper too. We also saw one of the red food scrap bins and we were impressed to see food scraps in it! There is also an orange bin that we put glass, plastic in.

Next we travelled over to the Senior School to visit our friends the worms! The worms eat all of our food scraps and they turn it into worm juice. The worm juice is put into soil. The soil is used to grow vegetables. We were really impressed with how spectacular the gardens were. The vegetables were very healthy, big and juicy! Yummmmm!

We learnt that worms have two heads! Worms can’t eat all food scraps so the left over food goes into the compost bins. The compost is used for soil.

Muritai School even recycles classrooms! We saw the new Room 24 which is really a recycled classroom as it has been used before.

We would like to thank Lulu and Kate for teaching us how to leave Friendly Footprints at school and at home.
