Email From Te Radar!!!!

EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) Update:

Greetings all. We have had a busy first term this year. It's hard to believe that term 2 is nearly upon us.

Over term one we have been out keeping our school tidy through our EPA patrols. We have begun to notice a big difference in the amount of rubbish we are collecting each day. It has been most pleasing to see the amount of rubbish dropping - perhaps our message is getting through!

We have received lots of support and encouragement which has been great. The most exciting was the following email that we received from Te Radar:

We are looking forward to continuing our efforts in the new term! 

Flowers, Fronds and Friends...

We recently had a Flowers, Fronds and Friends show. We contributed some art to the show and some of us brought along our own entries. It was a wonderful, colourful event!

Last week the KBS Whanau all ventured to Spencer Park for our annual school picnic. We had fun building sand sculptures on the beach in the morning. Then we spent the afternoon playing around Spencer Park. A great day had by all!

Check out what we got up to.

EPA News Report

After completing our investigation as part of the KBS EPA we worked as a team to make this news report to help educate everyone in our school. We used iPod touches to film our clips and we all helped with making our report.

Keeping KBS Beautiful!

What are we going to do now we've finished our EPA Investigation?

We had a meeting to discuss what we found when we carried out our investigation of the KBS school environment. Then we decided what action we would take to help keep KBS beautiful. Here is a list of what we have decided to do:

* We want to keep the 'KBS EPA' (Environmental Protection Agency) going.

   (We will collect rubbish daily to keep the environment clean)

* We are going to organise a promotion to stop littering. We are in the process 

   of designing posters which we are going to put around the school and in our

   KBS newsletters.

* We are going to share our message at Whanau time (During 'Keep NZ 

   Beautiful Week'). We are putting together a movie / slide show to show

   what we discovered and what we want to do about it. Our message is:

   "If we don't look after our environment it will end up looking like a rubbish

    dump!"

* We are going to encourage the 'Four R's' - Rethink, Reuse, Recycle, Reduce

  (especially composting and recycling which do happen in the school already).

WE NEED TO CHANGE THE WAY PEOPLE THINK SO THAT THEY CAN MAKE BETTER CHOICES ABOUT WHAT THEY DO WITH RUBBISH AND OTHER WASTE.
