Last year, the students design and created a pizza oven. Principal of Ratapiko School Lisa Hill says it was an entire school effort.
"I spent the day with Captain Enviro Peter Heard who told me a little bit about making apizza oven and so we decided to make one."
The oven took eight months to make and one day to build.
"We started at 9am and it was finished by 3pm that afternoon. The children mixed the clay with the sawdust and sand and created the layers of the oven."
She thanked the Marriner family who donated the clay for the oven. The oven gets plenty of use.
She says the oven has also created learning opportunities.
"The pupils make and create their own pizzas, using some of the crops at the school which teaches them about sustainable living. It's giving the children skills they'll use in later life."
