Otatara School – nature and technology combined!
On 28th April 2015, about 100 Otatara Schoolchildren came to the ponds and Education Centre to learn about wetlands. Our ponds were one of four places students were exploring as part of a science project to look at the similarities and differences between different ecosystems – native forest, pine forest, beach and wetland. Students used their ipads to record plants, birds and insects seen at the different places and one of the highlights here was finding a frog under the logs around the pond. The ducks of course made themselves quite at home being the star attraction as the children passed by! We look forward to seeing the results of the investigations.
