Leah Joshua – Year 4

Year 4 Reporters Club

Welcome to our new Year 4 Reporters Club. We are very excited to be writing news articles and creating live ‘news broadcasts’ Please see below for our first broadcast.

Years K – 6 has been focusing on responsibility during Term 1. Within responsibility, Year 4 has been learning about sustainability. Sustainability leads to being respectful of the environment and using environmentally friendly materials.

The Green Team at Emanuel is a group of students who help us learn about being sustainable and being environmentally friendly. The leaders of the team are able to encourage our school to become waste free. We have ‘Waste Free Wednesdays’ which encourages each class to have as many waste free lunches as possible. The winning class gets to to have a pyjama day!

Emanuel school also encourages students to think about sustainability at home. We try to do things such as turning lights off when we don’t need them on, composting and using less water. How waste free are you?

Since Emanuel school is very passionate about the environment we regularly donate to the JNF. The JNF is a fundraising group that does things such as planting 240 000 000 trees in Israel and now maintaining the forests.

Are there any areas where you could make a small difference?

I know Ms Elkins is trying to cut down on how many paper towels she uses in her kitchen!

Thank you to the Innovation Leaders and Mrs Poisel for help with taping our broadcast.
