Rockdale Kindergarten Nature Discovery
On Monday 27 February, ten Rockdale Kindergarten children came to do nature discovery at the Community Nursery. We started in the orchard where the apples were growing nicely. Then the children looked for the Community Nursery signs to lead them through the garden to the Education Centre. A brief snack and out into the wilds. The fish nets Chris had put int eh pond were pulled out and backswimmers and beetles were seen. (The next day 5 koura were found in the nets!). After looking for seeds and collecting the bright blue Coprosma berries we headed into the bush. The highlight was when we all closed our eyes and listened to the birdsong. Chris got out the bird squeaker and lured 5 piwakawaka (fantails) down from the canopy. They delighted us with their flitting and calling. Wendy said “they couldn’t be Rosie piwakawaka from Myross Bush because they were all so big!”.
