Squawk Squad Week 2: NZ Birds of Prey

This week we are focusing on New Zealand's birds of prey.

The core adjectives for the week is:

  • Learning about the kārearea and the ruru – being able to identify them and why they are significant to Aotearoa.
  • Learning about the sustainable forestry industry in Aotearoa - and how responsibly-managed exotic forests can support a range of native biodiversity.
  • Understanding that these birds are predators too - however, have evolved naturally with the other flora and fauna of Aotearoa and thus form an important part of our unique ecosystem.

This week our Call to Action involves creating a nesting box for Ruru. The students thoroughly enjoyed completing this hands-on activity.







































Finished boxes to come...
