Year 6 Make Meaning and Connections for our Local Birdlife

 Today Year 6 used our Anual Bird Survey Data and local Bird Watchers websites to compare and contrast the bird populations at school and the estuary.

We discovered some birds live in both places like the sparrow, spotted dove, starling, tui, plover, myna and swallow.

Birds are an indicator of how healthy the enviornment is so we want to take action to increase our bird populations.  To do that we need to research what our local birds need.

We worked in groups to find out about the bird species and come up with a list of things we can do.  Our mahi was presented in posters that we can display in The Green Room.

Next time we have Enviro we'll be potting up tree seedlings to create new habitats for birds.
