At School on Wednesday, our day started off by
watching a short clip about the Blue Penguin population numbers on Banks
Peninsula being restored. The people living on the peninsula had completed
extensive trapping for predators and built burrows for the penguins to breed
in. Malcolm Smith then told us lots of facts and information about the Blue
Penguin, where they live, what they eat, and what makes them different from
other penguins. From here we rehearsed the ‘Penguin Song.’
After morning tea we
split into three groups; burrow construction, arts and crafts, penguin science
and research. During the morning all of the children had completed all 3
workshops. Many thanks to Whaea Jenni Scothern and Matua Arthur who came to
support our tamariki during the day. It is always amazing, the resources and
energy people bring to Te Mahia School and the engagement and motivation our
tamariki show. There will be a display in town in the Hammer Hardware front
window of all of todays learning. Do watch out for it!
