Enviro Group Hui

On Tuesday, we went to Otago Marae as representatives of our school Enviro group. We did three activities; they were Living Landscapes, Marine, and Precious Energy.

In living landscapes, we planted cabbage and lettuce and got to try some of the other vegetables in the garden. This is where the local paper took our photo! (see Otago Daily Times article above, which you can click on to enlarge).

In Marine, we learned about the Hector dolphin with Jenny Upton and played a game. The game involved four people that were hector dolphins and the other people chose something from a pile and had to say how it affects the Hector dolphin.

Finally, in Precious Energy, we found out the 5 sources of energy. They were growth, travel, electricity, light, and sound.

At the end a storyteller called Kat Anna Fiddle came and told us two stories.
