Kaitiakitanga i ngā wā katoa - Respecting our Environment

We have begun this year thinking about how we can be Kaitiaki (Guardians) of our environment by showing respect and keeping our environment clean! As a school, we have begun a rotation where each day, a different team is responsible for ensuring the school is tidy and clean. We have noticed such a difference! There is so much less rubbish and we are able to enjoy and be proud of our beautiful school!

Here are some photos of us being Kaitiaki of our environment!

  1. Kia ora Room 10,
    Welcome to Tuhi Mai Tuhi Atu for 2018. I'm James, and although I don't officially work with Manaiakalani any more, I still really enjoy dropping in to class blogs and sharing in the learning. It's great to see you all being Kaitiaki and taking action to look after our environment. I can't wait to see and read more about what you all end up doing. Have you thought about what to do when all the rubbish is picked up? Did you know that in Japanese schools they do not employ cleaners, the students do all of the cleaning during the school day. How do you think people at PES might feel having to sweep, mop and vacuum?
    Mā te wā
