Today Year Three celebrated Consservation Week with a visit from the Rotoroa Island Educators Rebecca & Alison. We learnt all about the how our unique native birds are being protected on this sanctuary island.
After a presentation about why New Zealand has so many flightless birds that are found no where else in the world, we had fun with some hands on activities:
- Native Animal Who Am I? Game
- Native Bird Memory Card Game
- Match the adult with the baby game
- Feather investigation with magnifying glasses
- Match the population number with the endangered species
"I learnt that the ecosystem can be helped in many ways. Also the baby sea creatures look very different from their adult forms" Lucas
"Kereru are purply blue" Ciaran
"There are only 35 -40 Fairy Terns left so we need to protect them" Reyna
"It was a huge mistake to bring possums, stoats and rats to New Zealand" Evan
"The baby birds don't look like the grown up birds" Milan
"When you cut down trees you're losing animals homes" Abby
"If we grow more plants we are taking care of the Earth" Sri
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge Rebecca & Alison. We love learning from the experts!
Maybe you can visit one of our sanctuary islands with your family next school holidays.
