Elm Park School Enviro Journey

2019 Matariki Soup

In celebration of Matariki Room 30 made Matariki soup. The children were all given a job we had waitresses taking the orders, a head chef, kitchen hands and children cutting and peeling the vegetables. The children thoroughly enjoyed being apart of a restaurant environment and to their teachers surprise were wanting more vegetable soup! Kia kaha Room 30!

2019 Bread Bag + Tag Collection

A Facebook post from Mrs Allen to ask for our community's help in collecting bread bags and tags to be recycled. We are still collecting these so if you have any please bring them into school.

2019 Tiritiri Matangi Trip

Some of the Year 5's (Room 23 and half of Room 24) went on an amazing trip to Tiritiri Matangi today. It was a bit of a rocky ride on the way over in the ferry but once we got to the island we saw lots of beautiful endemic birds, trees and scenery. We also went on a Scavenger Hunt, visited the light house, watch house and Hobbes Beach amongst other things.

A huge thank to the Tiritiri Matangi Growing Minds funding programme which allowed our students to have a free ferry trip to the island, and also the very knowledgeable TIritiri volunteers who were our fabulous guides for the day.

2019 Celebration Concert

Elm Park held a Celebration Concert as a way to showcase our fabulous cultural and dance groups. Each year level had a song to perform and there were a few whole school songs.

Groups that performed included our Indian dance group, Year 3/4 Hip Hop, Year 5/6 Hip Hop, Korean Fan dance and our Elm Park School Kapa Haka group. We also had a surprise performance from our fabulous teachers!

It was great to have so many parents and caregivers along to help us see out another successful year.
