Greymouth Campus Year 3-6 garden is finished! We have harvested the last of our vegetables; carrots and silverbeet. We have dug the garden over, moved the little pansy plants to the smaller garden and planted mustard seed in the big garden. 

The final task was to make beautiful boxed pansy-plant gifts for Mother’s Day. All West Coast Year 3-6 students collaborated to create a variety of nets and made boxes with very specific measurements so they would fit. We solved lots of problems along the way. And, there is no doubt about it…we are becoming much better collaborators! 

We couldn’t have achieved such amazing outcomes without the help of our gardening guru and mentor Florence Deck. Now, we cannot wait until the next garden. We have amazing plans! 

This week West Coast Y3-6 students went back to the past to school. Back to Tuesday May 14 1886.

The students spent the day dressing for the past, playing in the past, being "punished" as in the past, travelling in a train from the past, using learning tools from the past, being taught just like teachers did in the past and finding out what it was like to be at school so long ago.

They all agree. School is better....NOW!
