COMMUNITY GARDEN TRIP

IMPORTANT UPDATE: This trip has been postponed due to the rain.

On Tuesday 13 August, Room 21 will be helping out with a tree-planting
and gardening initiative in the Owairaka area. We are going to do gardening
in the community gardens on Hendon Ave, with the guidance of one of our
Owairaka School parents. We will be planting and learning about native New
Zealand trees, as well as a range of other gardening activities.

We will be off the school grounds from about 11.30am – 1pm.
Please have a talk through these things with your child sometime before
Tuesday 13 August:

*wear shoes that you don’t mind getting a bit dirty

*bring a drink bottle filled with water

Check what the weather looks like on the morning of Tuesday August 13. If you think it may rain, please bring a raincoat (we won’t go if it’s really bad).

Parents and families are most welcome to come and check out the work. We need at least a couple of parents to help make this trip a success. Please let Maria know, email mmudgway@owairaka.school.nz, if you would like to join us.
Bring your favourite garden tool too!
