Our First Meeting

In our first meeting we discussed a name for our group. We also talked about our group rules and roles. This is important so that we can stay focused on our task.

We worked through an Action Plan from the Enviro Schools - there was lots of chatting and 'going off track' as we discussed the many elements of this project.

We invited Mr Reid to our meeting as many of our ideas needed to be heard by him. 

With Mr Reid we discussed where the seat could go, what its purpose was, the cost, the help and a general discussion about how to get started. From here we were able to identify the skills, knowledge and tasks we need to gather.

Our next step is to survey students, teachers and parents to see if they feel the same way as us that our school needs a quiet safe reflection place in our environment.

Discussing our project aims with Mr Reid.

Brainstorming location of our seat - accessible for all ages!

Great groups listen and 'piggyback' ideas.


We have lots of ideas and will share them with you very shortly!

Welcome

Kia Ora and Welcome...

We are a group of Year5/6 students who are going to project manage the design and build of a taniwha inspired earth seat.

We are very excited and scared at the same time. We have had our first meeting and are beginning to realise the enormous task we have a head of us.

This project has been 'brewing' for about a year and we are very excited to see it moving ahead.

We are in this group because together we have a set of skills to think, create, reflect, communicate, be creative and most of all a great can - do attitude.

We will use this blog to share our journey (the good and the bad) - we appreciate any comments/suggestions you may have so please post comments.
