Dotterel Education Trip
What we enjoyed the most was experiencing authentic learning outside of the classroom. Some things you just have to experience, not read about it in a text. The morning flew by really fast as we had so much fun learning about the dotterels, their nesting sites, swimming, playing games and getting prizes.
The thing we found most challenging was swimming in the river as we couldn’t see how deep some areas were, that made our teacher nervous. Luckily we had awesome parents to show us where we could and couldn’t swim.
What we might do differently next time is film the important korero about the dotterels and the area because we can use that information for our learning at school.
