Our project team for 2011 is in full swing. These boys are all hands kids who love to build things or pull things apart. So we are giving them opportunity at school by using their talents and learning at the same time. The boys this year have identified several tasks around school that they may be able to tackle.The first job they are taking on is to try and make logs out of recycled paper. We have been spending a lot of money on recycling paper and thought that we could do better. The boys have decided to shred all of the paper and then soak it in water. This will break the paper down and then they are going to design some sort of press to squish the paper into cylindrical logs.
Other tasks identified by the boys as projects for 2011 are:
- Build a community notice board at the front of school
- Construct a green house and shade house for our enviro gardens.
- Raise the rain water tank to allow the enviro team to have presure for watering the garden
- Make covers for the gardens to stop the birds eating the berries
- Putting in a divider in room four for the teacher aides
The boys are also designing their own Blog for you to keep up with their efforts. I will have the link available with the other class blogs when this is completed.
