Trip to the Nelson Museum

On Wednesday 25 March, Room 15 went to the Nelson museum. We went there to learn about plants. My favourite bit was the bit where you had to be the wind. There was a wooden board and on the wooden board there was a picture of flowers with little bits of velcro on them. You had to see if you could pollinate it by throwing little bits of pollen. We learnt about the food chain too but really there were quite a few activities. For the first one we went out on the deck and did some things with native plants and the second one was learning about plants Maori used for medicine. The next one was my favourite one, the one that I already told you about, and the very last one was plant sketching. The museum trip was fantastical.  By Tamsyn

Room 15 went to the museum to see an exhibition and learn about plants. We learnt that you can use poisonous plants to make medicine. We learnt about seed dispersal as well. Seeds can travel away from the mother plant in four ways; wind, water, animals and self-dispersal. We also learned that flowers have lots and lots of pollen. We sketched plants and learnt about the food chain as well. by Emanuel
