This is a fabulous project! Grass is being sown, we've got seedlings in the greenhouse growing,  a large container and bikes will be arriving the start of next term.... yahoo!

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!
