This Nature Connector encourages us to really focus on the objects around us and look at nature through new eyes. It's all about finding different shapes in nature. What shapes can you find in different plants, birds, bugs and more? 

For a quick, easy nature activity, download and print the scavenger hunt. Work together to find the shapes, or make it a competition! Tick the shapes as you find them.

Geometry task: Ask children to brainstorm the shapes that they know and to draw these shapes on a piece of paper. Older children could think of 3D shapes such as cube, cone, sphere, rectangular prism. Discuss the shapes, their names, their attributes, and how to draw them. Then get the children to take their piece of paper outside to find the shapes in nature. Looking for the shapes in small groups will lead to more valuable discussion while on the scavenger hut.

Extra activity: Take photos of the shapes that you find and make a poster or pic collage with them.

Hi, I’m Kim and I work with a great team to help individuals, as well as small and not so small businesses get their message, product and services to the world using digital media and creating wonderful websites that don’t cost the earth.

I was born in Canada, and grew up around Vancouver and the mountains of British Columbia. My love of pristine environments led me to New Zealand and eventually to the mountains, lakes and rivers of the central North Island which is home. My family’s heritage is here, and it’s from here that Korio traverses the planet.

The digital world is never static and neither are we.

And I say ‘we’ because I work with an awesome group of talented people who I gather together as required to complete a project.  Whatever your business, not-for-profit or individual needs are we gather the best team to get the job done.

Collaboratively we are creative, share sustainable values and work hard for great outcomes because that’s the buzz of satisfaction that drives us.

If you have an audience and market to reach, we can make that happen. Creative design, words that work and smart behind the scenes stuff that cuts through the online noise. We’ll design your website and then build it. We’ll manage the content as well as all your hosting needs. We can handle your online advertising so you get noticed,
and we’ll manage your social media presence so you get the clicks, likes and engagement to grow your business. All within the budget you set, because none of this needs to cost the earth.  And the job doesn’t stop when your website goes live. We are your virtual business partner.
