Nicky Elmore, our regional Enviroschools facilitator came to visit us and to help us with a reflection day. The Eco-warriors did a fabulous job of reflecting on our journey as an Enviroschool, and we all came to the conclusion that we are a Bronze Level Enviroschool, and Nicky agreed.
We started the day by preparing pumpkin soup made with some of the pumpkins grown for our pumpkin competition.
We made the soup in a thermomix, which was a lot of fun!
The eco-warriors showed Nicky around the gardens and told her all about what we have been doing. We all braved standing in the pouring rain, but it didn't dampen the children's enthusiasm for shwoing their learning. After lunch we returned to the library for the reflection work. Nicky introduced the children to the Guiding Principles of Enviroschools, and the children discussed the evidence that we have been collecting to show learning in each area. They were also full of great ideas for next steps to extend our programme in the future. Well done Eco-warriors! We finished up the day with a warm cup of pumpkin soup and some crusty bread.
