Te Kura – the Correspondence School

Over two days (24 and 25 March 2015), Lee and Heather, teachers from Te Kura, the Correpondence School based in Wellington, welcomed 30 pre-school children, their parents and siblings to a get-together at the Southland Community Nursery. Children had come from all over Southland and Otago and the aim of the days was to foster knowledge and an appreciation of the natural environment as well as networking with other children and their families. Lots of activities were arranged including duck feeding, scavenger hunts around the bush tracks, leaf bingo, potting seedlings, story-telling, jigsaw making and many other activities. The koru maze was a big hit on day one when the sun was shining! Thanks to Lee for organizing the days. For more information about Te Kura and its distance learning programmes - www.tekura.school.nz
