Bluff School visit – Tuesday 13 February 2018
An excited and enthusiastic group of Bluff schoolchildren came to the Nursery and Education Centre on Tuesday 13 February. After checking out the orchard and its ripening apples and the worm farm, they all helped out with some nursery work “potting” small cabbage tree seedlings and learning about tui and bellbirds liking cabbage tree flowers and berries. The group then had some kai, worked in teams to do the big jigsaws and then went for a “bush walk” around the pond tracks. Using their senses of touch, smell, sight and hearing they enjoyed doing the sensory scavenger hunt. Back at the nursery the children used up any excess energy racing around the circles in the paddock and finding their special native plant at the end of the circles.
