Powerhouse Foreshore Restoration Day
Mr Lane and Mr Oakes from Cayoosh Elementary brought their students down to the restoration site in October for a field day. Part of the educational component was a teaching train activity planned by Odin Scholz - there were about 10 stations where two students at each station were taught something about the animals, plants and restoration work. They then in turn taught their classmates as they cycled through the "train". It was a lot of fun and a great way for students to learn from each other. It was rewarding to hear students saying "this was one of our best days yet!" They then planted around 56 native shrub species.
Mr Oakes put together a small video taken with his class on their field trip day. Watch the Video on Vimeo and view the photos on the Cayoosh Kidz Flickr page.
