Native Birds.

Recently, on a trip to Mt St John, with the help of Mia's lovely Nana we were able to collect and identify different leaves and flowers which belong to the native trees which grow up on the mountain. This week we created a chart which shows which leaf or flower belongs to each tree, and following on from this the girls expressed an interest in drawing some trees of their own. We created a 'native forest' mural, and it was then decided that we needed to fill the forest with native birds too.We sourced some lovely images of different native birds from the internet and used these as a provocation for the girls drawings.
