EnviroSchools, Web of Life

This week we have been looking at the inter-relatedness of plants and animals. We went outside as a class and had one of the children stand in the middle of our circle as a tree. Then we named the things that have a relationship with the tree. The children were able to see an ecosystem right outside the classroom. We then explored things that could disrupt this ecosystem and how we can best protect it.


This was a fantastic learning opportunity for the children to see how they can help our school environment.

Me in my Environment

This year Our Lady of the Assumption School is becoming an Enviroschool. This means we are learning how to become economically sustainable. This term the children are exploring our school environment and identifying areas that they would like to improve. Yesterday we went out and investigated what we have currently. Each group was given 3 letters from the alphabet and had to find things that started with those letters. The children really enjoyed getting outside and using chalk to draw their findings. We were lucky enough to be joined by Room 8.
