Te Kura Correspondence School
On Wednesday 1 November 2017, students of Te Kura Correspondence School and their families came to visit the Community Nursery as the venue for their annual get-together with their teachers from Wellington.
Jane Robertson and her colleague met Chris at the Community Nursery bus park and then met parents and students and walked through the orchard and gardens, following the signs to the Education Centre. Katrina and Marie from REAP also accompanied the group and helped with various activities.
After a welcome, morning tea and some introductions Chris led a scavenger hunt around the pond track using all the senses to touch, hear, see and smell the nature all around. Then a close examination of the wormfarm bath the veggie gardens, chickens and fruit cages.
Back in the Education Centre a range of self-guided activities were enjoyed from reading nature books, to big jigsaws, to opening all the doors on the wetland tunnel to playing matching games all the while getting to know eachother.
