NZ Birds Explore

This week we have been learning all about NZ Birds!! We really enjoyed walking around the school to see all our native bird murals and visiting our nature area to do some bird watching. We have also had fun learning about camouflage, flight, bird parts... through many activities. We looked at the Bird of the Year website and saw how many birds in New Zealand are endangered. We read information about the Wildbase at The Esplanade and saw some videos of how the birds are looked after and then released.
