In Dunedin, New Zealand there is a school right by the beach. This school is called Tomahawk. The students there are young children. They are only 24 children in the school. By looking at their blog I learned that at the school they truly care about the environment. All their posts had to do with recycling as well as eating healthy. The first post I read explained how they enjoyed making monsters out of "rubbish" from the classroom.The picture at the top of the page is a picture of the children making their monsters. They also had a post about how they made an edible garden. They mixed compost and soil in pots and then potted the plants. They planted rainbow silver beets, pansies, thyme, rosemary, and lettuce. They also made a worm farm and planned to use the fertilizer from their worm farm on the plants. This seemed very interesting that they care so much about the environment. I personally think that its great that the teachers are doing this blog to inform the public about all the good they are doing with these children.
The second school blog that I came across is another school in New Zealand. Its called the Bucklands Beach Intermediate School. The blog that I found is done by 10 and 11 year olds. Their blog is about The Diary of Anne Frank. Two girls in the class wrote letters to Anne Frank about what their life is like today. While reading these letters it was amazing to me that childhood innocence is very prevalent in the world. These girls are so sweet. One of the girls who wrote a letter in response to Anne Frank's diary said that her three cats wold keep her (Anne) company.I thought it was very kind of that child to write that. On their blog you can also hear their podcast of the two girls who wrote letters.

ReplyDeleteThanks for posting the blog with the letters to Anne Frank. I read them and they were very touching.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to know that New Zealand is "going green", too! That's awesome! Great summary on both schools!
ReplyDeleteWow I love that the elementary school has that blog! That is amazing that at such a young age they are able to understand the importance of protecting our environment and having healthy eating habits. I also loved the blog to Anne Frank, it is wonderful to see that kind of compassion in young children. I loved your blog, the hyper links were useful and the picture was adorable!
