Today the Eco Group celebrated a successful trip to 'Eye on Nature' . We started by unboxing the goodies that the Manukau Beautification Trust gifted us when we left.
Wow there were gloves, compost, seeds, booklets and so many resources full of ideas so we can take action to help te taiao.
We reflected on what we learnt on our trip with Auckland Museum, Beez Things, Auckland Council and Conservation Volunteers:
Evie "I learnt how the eels are becoming extinct because of the dams and how some people are putting rivers around the dams"
Taryn "We learnt about plants that native and that you can nibble on for a snack"
Louisa "I learnt that waka's are made of trees that 100's of years old"
Vinuka "I learnt about the eels life cycles"
Hunter "I learnt how to play instruments with just nature"
Blake "I learnt about long fin and short fin eels"
Toby "I learnt that there's one type of native eel - longfin"
Alexander "I learnt what its like to have a bee suit on"
Evie "We learnt about the Maori Gods and beginning of the world"
What actions could we take inspired by our day?
Vinuka "Pull weeds and catch pests"
Evie "We could write letters to people with the dams and make posters and videos to try and make a difference"
Alexander "Go to a science lab and make something to kill varoa mites"
Alexander "Make Sunnyhills candles"
Toby "Make medicine with propolis to cure cancer"
Olivia "We could make beeswax wraps and have a shop at the Howick markets"
Evie "We could protest"
Taryn "We could kill the wasps"
What amazing ideas! Next week we can use the beeswax from our Beez Things hives to make beeswax wraps. That will help us bring litter free lunches.
Thank you Manukau Beautification Trust and sponsors!
