🥕🥔🥬 Today our school lunch bar fundraiser is brought to us by Class 6, and on the menu is warm, nourishing Hungarian Stone Soup. 🍲✨

The story of Stone Soup tells of hungry travellers who arrive in a village with nothing but an empty pot and a ‘magic’ stone. “We’ll make stone soup!” they said. The villagers were curious – who could eat a soup made from a stone? But, one by one, everyone added a carrot here, a potato there, a sprinkle of herbs… and soon the pot was bubbling with the most delicious soup the whole village could share. Together, they created a meal far greater than anyone could have made alone – a beautiful reminder of community, generosity, and sharing.

When this happens, it’s usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it’s been deleted.

🌱 Class 5 Tree Planting – Trees for Survival 🌱

Over the past year, Class 5 have lovingly nurtured 800 native saplings through the Trees for Survival programme. They recently spent the day in Clevedon planting every single one!

Donning gloves and boots, students gathered to discuss safety, teamwork, and the importance of planting trees for the health of our taiao (environment). They reflected on how trees stabilise land, prevent erosion, provide food and habitats for wildlife, create beautiful natural spaces, and help keep our air clean.

The planting was done with great care – roots tucked in with mulch blankets, no “volcanoes” or “craters” around stems, and plenty of cheerful chatter (especially when worms and grubs were found!). Even light drizzle couldn’t dampen their enthusiasm.

After an hour and a half, 712 trees were securely in the ground – a wonderful achievement and a meaningful contribution to environmental restoration in our region. Lunch of warm sausages, quiche, and ice blocks was the perfect way to celebrate.

Ka mau te wehi, Class 5! 🌿

The evening will include:

🏠✨ Following on from our recent post about the Class 12 Architecture Main Lesson, it’s wonderful to see how these skills are nurtured as early as Class 3!
In their Shelters Main Lesson, Class 3 explored how a home is more than just shelter and protection – it is also a place where we nurture ourselves and those we love. Each student selected a traditional shelter from the cultures they have studied, then brought their project to life with creativity and care, using a variety of materials.
Ka pai, Class 3 – what beautiful work! 🌿💡
