Sustainability in Action

Raffle Success!

Congratulations to Marial, who won the first prize for the Ooshies Recycling Raffle. Year 6s began collecting Ooshies last term to save them from landfill, and will do more drawings for Ooshie donations later this week. Stay tuned for a “Guess How Many” game next week as well!

Plants Respond to Kindness

Year 1 has transferred their bean seeds to soil. After reading “One Tree,” a story about a grandfather who talks to his plants, students wondered if plants grew better when spoken to kindly. Every great science experiment begins with an intelligent question, so Year 1 planted two bean seeds separately and only gave verbal encouragement. “It worked!” Said Leilani. “The plant we talked to has more roots and is bigger!” She said.
