Last week, term 2 on CIP we are focusing on cleaning the backyard of our school. Our teachers who are in charge of the Tane Mahuta group thought of an idea of cleaning one of the barn/greenhouse, into a space where we can learn at. An outdoor classroom! So we visited the space, it was a pretty big space and it was really messy and dirty. It would take quite a long time to be cleaned and be transformed into an outdoor classroom. Although I found it really cool to have an outdoor classroom where we can relax and learn. I think it is also a little bit better to be outside, rather being trapped in a room. But the downside was it was rather far, and if the weather isn't good we can't go there yet. We also had a choice to either help with the outdoor classroom, or help cleaning up the gardens of the community.
My friend and I chose to help with the outdoor classroom, we started to clean the space. While cleaning there was a lot of things needed to be done, such as; lifting heavy pieces of furniture, taking out junk, taking out some plants that are not wanted, etc. When we have managed to clean one side of the barn we ended it and next week we were going to start to clean the other side. But when we finish the other side we still have to sweep the dust of the ground, and we still had the outside to take care off. Anyways that's where we are up to still and I hope that we succeed in cleaning this area so we can have an outdoor classroom.
Hi Vann!
ReplyDeleteWow, I was taking a look at some of our Kindness CIP blogs and also saw yours. I am really interested to hear about what the other community projects are up to. It sounds like you are enjoying working on the community gardens and the outdoor classroom. I can tell because you have written heaps about your activity.
Maybe next time you can share some pictures of what you have been working on so we can see the progress of the gardens.
