Bird feeders

Our Enviro Group have decided to build bird feeders after visiting the Birdlife Park last term. We are designing these this week and building them with the help of our technology teacher Mr Dubnic next week.
Have a look at the websites on this blog to help with ideas of what to build.

Maori Potato Planting

The enthusiastic Enviro Group have planted Maori Potatoes behind the Year 7 block. This is our third year of planting Maori potatoes at Queenstown Primary. It is part of the Tuhuri Whenua Project to increase the supply of Maori potatoes within New Zealand.
We were given 60 potatoes by the Tuhuri Whenua Project 2 years ago and from that crop we have collected the seed each year to plant the following year. Some of our school families have taken some of these plants for their own gardens and we hope to be able to offer more seed to families next year after this crop.
