Recycling tip of the week

The group working on getting Bokashi Buckets into our school to compost food scraps, went to Kaiapoi North School to check out how the system works there. Kaiapoi North have been using the Bokashi Buckets for a long time. The children came back with plenty of enthusiasm and several buckets. There will be a trial of this system in Room 20/21 for the rest of the term. Huge thanks to Zaneta and Michelle for providing transport and parent help. We couldn't do without you.
