Connecting to Nature- Bush School and Gully Kindy Sessions

This term we have been busy making the most of the last of summer, connecting tamariki to nature in local bush and gully areas.

We’ve looked the types of seeds and how they are dispersed, then spread native seeds around the sites, shaking seed pods and blowing seeds to the wind. We even looked at the bird poo to see how seeds were dispersed by birds!

We have done lots of bug hunts, learning about their life cycles and special traits.

And, of course we have done some conservation work, with traps being checked, plants being mulched and weeds being removed.
