Now we are invited to take part in using these bottle bricks.

Verena will show how cob is made and then we will all help build the seat out of the bottle bricks that have been stuffed by the children and adults in the community.

The bench will take a few weeks to dry.  Later we will help to seal and decorate it.

Cob is a mixture of clay, sand, straw and water.

Picking Up Rubbish

On Friday Hoiho class went to pick up rubbish next to the estuary. We found lots of funny things like shoes, half of a cup and glass bottles! We went into groups of six or more. Each group had an adult to walk with them. Mrs Bryant wrote the start of some complex sentences and we finished them. Here are some of them.

Garden Fundraiser Meal

On Friday we had a fundraising lunch to raise money for a small and poor school in Vanuatu. We grew some of the food ourselves! We grew HUGE cauliflower and broccoli! Here are some of the things we ate: grated carrots, pesto, wraps, hummus, broccoli stalks, stir fry, cauliflower cake, apples, fejoas , bread chips, onion dip and heaps more. Making the lunch was lots of fun, and it was worth spending our time preparing it because it was very tasty.
