LEARNZ NZ Garden Bird Survey 27th June

On Tuesday we participated in the LEARNZ NZ Garden bird survey.  We entered our data about the bird species we identified in the school grounds and their numbers, onto a national database.

In the lead up to the survey we have been learning about native and introduced bird species and learning about the different ways to classify them such as herbivores, omnivores or insectivores, waders, shore birds, urban, bush or sub-alpine birds.  We have participated in a virtual field trip to Christchurch with the LEARNZ field trip teacher, Shelley.
