Using senses to explore the forest.
Sensational senses
Experiences
Ko au te taiao, ko te taiao ko au - I am nature, nature is me.
Connect your students to nature using their senses to explore the sights, sounds and smells of the forest!
The leafy wonderland of Arataki comes alive as younger children use language and sensory awareness activities to explore their environment. They can smell the forest with magic 'sniffy dabs', see the colours of the forest on their artist palette, feel the textures of the trees when they're blindfolded, and listen to the sounds around them during quiet time.
This programme is also suitable for older ESOL students.
