We are the Leopold and we speak for the trees!

Leopold Primary School plan to have a greener future, and a greener present!  Yesterday, I arrived a little early at the school.  I was escorted to the Environment Room by two very helpful Year Two students, Lulu and Lili. Thanks girls! In class, the students were making posters about Compost, to be put all around the school.  Each class has a little yellow bin that gets emptied every day by one of the environment groups.  The posters help kids learn about what to put in the bins and what not to.

Ms Moreno is the Environment teacher at Leopold and it is her job to help kids to learn about growing food, the importance of trees, frogs and birds and lizards and lots more!  Learning about the environment is a part of Science, Cooking, English, Art, and all aspects of school at Leopold.  And it's also important that the kids have fun while they are learning!

We went on a tour and I saw that care for the environment happens across the school, not just in one room.  Year 2s have been reading stories about the ocean.  Year 6s have been cooking from the garden (and cooked me a FABULOUS LUNCH!), and others have been learning about the Lorax, who speaks for the trees.

Leopold students have been learning about frogs and the environment.  One student, McKenzie has even done some research and has designed a frog pond and the surrounding area.  I'm looking forward to reading her plan in more detail.

During my visit we called Catrina.  The kids were very excited to be sharing all of their news with her!!

Congratulations to Leopold for all of the work you are doing to take care of our environment.  Ingrid
