Wild Things Connect with Nature – 25 November 2019
A sunny day and along with a wonderful group of educators we connected with nature, smelling and touching the different leaves and flowers, looking at the baby apples growing on the apple trees, and checking out the pest traps – all before going on a walk around the pond. Kererū flew around us and landed in the nearby tree, giving us a great look at this majestic bird of the forest. After some morning tea at the hut, spotting an admiral butterfly and day flying magpie moth, we continued to use our senses to find all the objects listed on the sensory scavenger hunt list – try it at your place – See Activity Cards at: https://www.southlandcommunitynursery.org.nz/education-centre/activities/school-activities/. Back at the Education Centre the children explored the habitat panels and potted up some kōwhai seedlings, giving back to nature.
