EnviroSchool - Worm Warren
Everyday our Enviro Agents perform a range of tasks that help keep our school waste sustainable. One of these very important tasks is caring for our tiger worms that live in the 'Worm Warren'.
Eisenia fetida, known under various common names such as redworm, brandling worm, panfish worm, trout worm, tiger worm, red wiggler worm, red californian earth worm, is a species of earthworm adapted to decaying organic material. These worms thrive in rotting vegetation, compost, and manure.
Every day our agents collect all the food scrapes that are suitable for worms. Our worms can not eat citrus, bread or meat. Once all of the worm buckets have been emptied they head down to the worm baths where the vermicomposting occurs.

Eisenia fetida worms are used for vermicomposting. They are native to Europe, but have been introduced (both intentionally and unintentionally) to every other continent except Antarctica.

Our flag Referendum
Today in class we had a discussion about the current New Zealand Referendum. Some of us were excited that our flag could change while others wanted to keep the current flag.
We opened the letter with our teacher and looked at the different brochures. We then had the chance to place our votes and placed them in our post box.
Once all of the votes were posted we opened the box and counted them up
The results were very interesting and made for great discussion.
