Mataī and Kōtukutuku classes from Otatara School Nature Journal 24 March 2021
Going bush and noticing lots of interesting aspects about leaves, trees and seasonal changes, these two classes then recorded what they had noticed and learnt about NZ native trees and in particular their school classroom trees in their nature journals. Leaf rubbings, tracing around the outline of leaf edges and recording their observations was complimented by well thought out questions and queries about trees, their life cycles and how they grow. These classes were espeically interested in the roles of birds with their classroom trees - from drinking the nectar of the flowers and pollinating these plants, eating the berries, to pooping the seeds out!
