The preps were the overall winners and took home the prize of a pedal operated compost bin for all the compost that the chooks don't like to eat such as orange and mandarin peel, banana skins and kiwi fruit skin. They also received a nice young nude food tree which they get to plant in the garden. In time this tree will produce a bountiful crop of while mulberries - yum.
Wednesday the 16th of October was National Nude food day. The Green Team voted that the school should have a walk in - walk out rubbish day. That meant all of our bins were locked up for the whole day and any rubbish bought to school had to be taken home again. The teachers had to talk about how students would think about their rubbish as simply putting it in their pockets wouldn't be a good idea. We have a school rule do not returning into the buildings during play times so they couldn't put it back in their bags after they have finished eating. Some grades opted for eating inside, others chose to take their wrappers off before going outside. The day created a lot of discussion and hopefully will contribute to discussions at home as well.
