We've heard from Lakeview School in the Wairarapa who have made and sent 50 postcards!
Their teacher says:
"As we have an extension Te Reo class those children wrote their postcards in Māori and we sent them to a bilingual class. We have received 21 cards to date. The class monitor collects them from the office each morning. The students are excited to receive them and have become adept at giving feedback on the quality of the card and message!!
It has proved to be a very worthwhile activity and one we would repeat. We are hoping to receive 50 cards in total."
Great stuff Lakeview School - we look forward to seeing photographs of your favourite postcards!
And over the other side of our Rimutaka maunga Naenae School have been busy. The Enviroschools Regional Coordinator was thrilled with the bonus postcards she received from Room 1 at Naenae School.
She says: "It's wonderful to see students with such an affinity for their environment AND great artistic skills."
Thanks Room 1 for sharing your mahi! Kei te tino harikoa a Karyn.
