Adopt a Park #3

This week we had our third visit for the year to William Green Domain. 

Collecting rubbish and helping to unblock the stream

Quick play after lunch! 

Seeing how many native plants we can recognise 

Activities this session

1) We freed the natives we planted last term by pulling the weeds away from around the base. 

. 

2) We added our signs to show everyone we have 'adopted' the park. 

. 

3) We picked up rubbish. We filled 12 bread bags! 

 

4) We recorded all the things we observed in the park. We'll keep a record and add to it each time. 

We noticed the stream was not flowing and quite blocked up so the adults tried to clear it. 

  

The bird life we saw today was...

* ducklings and the mummy duck

* swallows

* magpies 

We thought about all the native trees we could name too; karamu, nikau palm, flax, puriri and those we planted last term - cutty grass and cabbage trees

Our favourite things were...

"Learning from a different person"

"Seeing the cute ducklings"

"Clearing the river so it flowed again"

" Being outside and helping nature" 

" Checking in on the native trees we planted. 

In term 4 we will...

>> work more on unblocking up the stream so it flows properly

>> Continue to record what wildlife we see around 

>> Collect more rubbish in other areas of the park.
