Our fantastic trip on Tuesday saw us experiencing all of
these. We began at the National Aquarium
of New Zealand where we looked at the layers of the Native Bush and who and
what lives where. We became scientists
for a spell using microscopes to look closely at different plants, seeds and
animals and played a game to reinforce the concepts of carnivores, herbivores,
and omnivores. The education officers showed us right around, even into the
penguin enclosure. Then it was off to Taradale park for lunch and a play before
meeting Robyn McCool and Selwyn at the Dolbel tree reserve. He is one of the volunteers who have spent
many hours planting and caring for the trees. We got to see a lot of native
trees that had been planted by the volunteers and walked to the top of the hill
to see the views right out to the Cape.
We returned to school a weary but considerably
more knowledgeable bunch.
