Explore a Redwood Forest
These resources were made for a school in Rotorua that wanted to explore the redwood forest. They had students in wheelchairs, and the Mokopuna Track was perfect for them to get out into nature in an easily accessible way. We tried to put things into these resources that would get the students looking around them and seeing things in a different way, get them to explore, and get them using their senses. We also wanted to get them noticing the native flora and fauna that was present under the exotic redwood trees.
Individual Scavenger Hunt Cards
The resource below is designed to be printed onto individual cards, so that you can show one card and the students have to find that item. Cards could also be given to students for them to ‘match’ to the item in nature, or used in class to talk about things that might be seen on an upcoming trip, or to talk about things that were seen on a trip.
