Oxfam Hot Chocolate Break

On Tuesday, Meadowbank School hosted an Oxfam Fair Trade Hot Chocolate Break, organised by the Enviro Fernz leaders. Children received a fair trade hot chocolate, a fair trade banana and a piece of baking in exchange for a gold coin donation.
We were raising money to donate to people living in poverty in Australasia.
As a school we raised a total of $777.80 profit, smashing our goal of $600! Here are some photos of the junior side event:

Swan Plants

Last term, the junior enviro club worked on maintaining the swan plants. We put bags on the seed pods to collect the seeds and later plant them, we took caterpillars to the caterpillar hospital in the butterfly meadow and we set a monarch butterfly free that had hatched from it's chrysalis in the 'hospital'. The purpose of the butterfly hospital is to protect caterpillars from wasps. Look at the fun we had fun while looking after our environment!
