Adopt a Park visit

 This week our year 3 / 4 enviro group visited our 'adopted' park - 
William Green Domain. This is our third visit this year. 

During our visit we...

* learnt about the different shaped leaves and what plants or trees they come from

* discovered some interesting wildlife - a red dragonfly, a skink, woodlice, a shiny ladybird bug and some green leaf bugs

* found an awesome 'canoe' - part of a fallen nikau leaf 

* helped the environment by picking up rubbish. 

Happy green bugs!

Whose footprints are these? 

spot the lizard!

 

We found lots of plastic - including 5 plastic bottles. We talked about how we can help the environment have less plastic in it by having a wrapper free lunch. 

John - I liked helping the environment

Piper - the most interesting thing I found was the giant canoe (leaf) 

Ayla - I liked finding 2 dragonflies

Ella - I enjoyed picking up rubbish

Aimee - It was very exciting to find a mysterious rucksack (rubbish) I think it might belong to my favourite book character - Wolf Girl (- I love the imagination!) 

Luka - I enjoyed the rubbish hunt

 

Next time we go we will have a closer look at the native trees and plants we planted and see if we can do some weeding around them.
