As part The Year 5-8 Education outside the Classroom we visited the Tuhaitara Coastal Park. We learned lots from Meredith, the park ranger, about the natural features including the biota nodes,Tutaepatu Lagoon, and the mudfish that are now beginning to live here. She shared with us some of the enviro projects that are now underway to enhance the natural habitats further. Some of us are interested in investigating how we could have our own enviro school biota node here now.
We have worked to develop our observational skills of our school environment. We used our visual skills to search our school to find natural and man made objects for our alphabet scavenger hunt .We also developed our listening skills by creating a sound map. We found a space by ourselves to listen carefully to all the different natural and man made sounds in our school environment and recorded these in a sound map . We hope to compare these with the sounds that we hear on camp.
Being aware of our environment helps us to appreciate the wonderful things it has to offer !
