Silver for Springlands Kindergarten
Springlands Kindergarten successfully reflected at Enviroschools Silver this term, the day before the national lockdown in August!
It was fantastic to see all the great work that kaiako and tamariki have been doing at Springlands Kindergarten, especially linking to the Enviroschools guiding principle of Sustainable Communities.
They are a green-fingered group and have been growing and making lots of things to share. We especially loved the relationship they have formed with a local rest home. They collected and made plum jam and then shared it with the residents at the rest home. How cool is that?
There were some other clever sustainable ideas like homemade natural glitter, hand-dyed shirts using natural plant dyes and some special activities around Matariki. We even got to be part of a dance party to celebrate this collaborative achievement!
We are very excited for their next steps, including seeing how big the giant sunflowers get that tamariki have planted for people and birds.
