Trip to Johnsonville School
We were very fortunate to visit Johnsonvills School and see what their enviroschool looks like. While we were there we found out about animal trackers and what plants like what.
Many thanks to all the parents who helped transport us to and from there.

Sunflowers!
Our beautiful sunflowers that we planted last November have finished. What a lovely display they were!
Today we collected up all the seeds - and quickly found that we were dealing with very large numbers!
We counted approximately 250 seeds into a small plastic cup and weighed it. We then weighed all the seeds we had collected - that was 500g. We worked out that 41 little cups could weigh the same as the large bowl of seeds. We then did some multiplying and worked out that 41 times 250 (seeds) was 10250! That's a lot of seeds!!

Visit to Otari Bush
What a wonderful trip we had to Otari Bush! Being an Enviroschool sure has some wonderful benefits!
We learnt about different types of seed dispersal, collected seeds and planted them*, did some observational drawings of ferns, investigated the water quality of the stream that flows through Otari, and walked up to the 800 year old Rimu tree.
Many thanks to our fabulous parent helpers, the staff at Otari, and our Enviroschool facilitators.
Here are some photos from the day - if you'd like to leave a comment (and yes please do!!) leave it at the bottom of this post rather on the photo peach site - thanks!
