Term 1 2024
Learning about the living world is always exciting and our tamariki have so many questions about creatures we share our planet with. This term we explored different ways that we can be kaitiaki for the creatures in the sea, and the impact of plastic on our moana habitats.
We visited the ocean using virtual reality and went right under the sea to view the impact of humans in this habitat.
