SCIENCE POP DAYS FOR YEAR 5 & 6

Students in Years 5 & 6 have been invited to join other schools to attend two days at Nimbin Central School to focus on science projects based the theme ‘Water’. The first day is a Pop-up ‘Project’ day on Friday 20 March concluding on the second day that is an ‘Exhibition Day’ on Friday 3 April for selected projects. Students in years 5 & 6 are busily working together on a water project to showcase on the 20 March with other schools sharing their ideas. The Exhibition Day 2020 has been designed to showcase the best projects from schools further a field in the Kyogle area combined with other local schools.

CLEAN UP OUR SCHOOL DAY

Students worked in groups to collect recyclable and non-recyclable waste. As

usual we did not find a lot of waste as our school community take home their

waste, or we recycle our food scraps in the compost bin and our paper in the

paper bins in each classroom. It was a fantastic effort for all our extra parents

who came along to help the groups stay on track and weed our vegetable

garden. Now we are able to see what is still growing well and plant up for the

next season. We would like to thank Ms McEwen for cooking us banana

muffins and a banana and pear loaf. Each student made a pledge to not only

clean up but step up to help our environment.

I pledge to:

use metal straws. Isla

stop using wrapping paper. I can use newspaper instead. Ruby

stop using plastic bags. Ava

stop buying plastic bottles. Fin G

keep my school clean. Hazel

put recyclable rubbish in the right bin. Maye

make sure there is no rubbish in the world. Arya

only cook with bio gas and not use packaging in my lunch box (nude food). Gryff

use paper or material bags more. Fin F & Frankie

grow a fruit tree. Jakobi

not use plastic straws. I will only use recyclable straws. Ari

stop using plastic bags and only use re-usable bags. Hayden

Boogulbeh, Mrs Bertuzzi.
