Bush Builders at Normandale School

Today Kim, from Wellington Zoo came to our school. She spent time with all the classes.

When Kim was in Room 4, she talked to us about how we are connected to nature and how we are  lucky to be surrounded by natural native bush.

She told us about ecosystems and how all things in nature rely on each other to survive. If we took away . trees, everything else would die as trees give us oxygen to breathe. We can help this by planting trees to replace those that are cut down.

We went outside and looked under the bush to see if we could see any creatures. We used magnifying glasses, binoculars etc to look. Unfortunately, we did not find anything but we are carefully looking when we are outside during the day.
