Dear Marlen

I would like to thank you for your support during our time at Aongatete Lodge. Your leadership, experience and skill in the bush helped to provide an exciting and challenging outdoor experience for Room 7.

We had a great time at camp. My favourite activities were the orienteering and the Burma trail. I was very impressed with the teamwork the students showed in communicating effectively and using their compasses accurately to find their way back to camp. Before the Burma trail, I was concerned that some of the class would be too scared of the dark to have a go at it. Obviously the experience they had gained during the previous night challenges paid off, as they all made their way safely around the course. I was most impressed by the bravery of those that did it on their own. It was a valuable experience for everyone to gain confidence in the bush, in the dark.

I hope that these experiences will inspire our students to spend more time in the outdoors in the future. They all seem to have enjoyed themselves and speak positively of their time at camp.

Thank you again for your help.

Yours sincerely,

Dory

You will need to look at a variety of model recipes to develop a list of success criteria.

We throw away over 122,547 tonnes of food a year – enough to feed around 262,917 people, or the population of the Bay of Plenty for 12 months. Bread, fruit and vegies, and meal leftovers are the most commonly discarded foods. The equivalent of 20 million loaves of bread is thrown into rubbish bins uneaten every year. The average household sends around 79 kg of edible food to landfills every year. Avoidable food waste costs the average household $563 a year. Food waste costs New Zealand $870m  Love Food Hate Waste The official website for the ‘Love Food Hate Waste’ campaign in New Zealand aims to raise awareness of the need to reduce food waste. It shows that by doing easy practical everyday things in the home we can all waste less food. For example, they produce yummy and healthy recipes which make use of leftovers such as stale bread that we would otherwise throw out.  Check out the Apple Pies below, made from leftover apples and bread.
