Beyond Green Gold Award

Last week Meadowbank School hosted special visitors from the Enviro Schools organisation. They came to our school so we could all share the fantastic learning we have done over the last few years, in and about the Environment. It was a awesome day because everyone had a chance to show how they have been involved in making our school and our communities a better place to learn and live in.

We started the day with a Powhari in the hall to welcome our guests. The Kapa Haka group did a fantastic job supporting Mr Ayson, who spoke to the guests. After the Powhari the Year 6's shared a snippet from their production. After this everyone went back to their classrooms so that we could start the day.

At the end of the day we received the exciting news that Meadowbank School achieved the Beyond Green Gold Award.

Well done to everyone for all the hard work that you have put in and the amazing learning you have achieved.

This morning we had the wonderful privilege of having Sam from TV One film the weather section live at our school. So many children were lucky to be on TV and share what makes our school such a special place to be apart of.

Building Towers

On Friday we had a super challenge to see which team could build the tallest free standing bridge with only four pieces of paper, a sheet of newspaper, cello tape and glue. Everyone had to work together to come up with a solution that would solve this problem. Some groups discussed various options while others jumped straight into the building process. In the end each group created their own unique structures. Here is a video of us all working together.
