Today was Muritai Senior Schools ‘Green Day’
‘Green Day’ was a concept thought up by students as an ‘Action’ from the Take Action For Water unit.
Students were able to incorporate a whole day of environmentally focused ideas:
- Bring a spade plant a tree.
- Wear Green or Recycled clothes (some interesting clothing came out of parents wardrobes)
- Walk, Bike or Bus.
- Nude food - No wrappers (See below at 5 & 6 nude food day)
- Donations for a water tank.
- Stone collection for the garden path.
- Enviroteam Thank You cards created.
- Garden make over.
- Less light
What a fantastic day. The planting of 102 native trees was the highlight.
Students carefully planted a selected tree. (Before planting a group of students had done research on conditions, planting needs, space etc). When it come to planting students had to know what type of tree they were planting. Many went as far as naming their tree eg. Terry Totara and Kevin Kowhai. Potting mix, compost, worm wee and a lot of TLC went it the planting.
