Nature School NZ has a mission to get as many children as possible learning from and through nature.
COVID-19 INFORMATION
The educators of Nature School NZ Trust are proactive and responsive to government guidelines around safety during the Covid 19 pandemic. We will resume our programmes when schools open at alert L2 or below, and if Schools close, Ministry of Health advice changes or the alert level changes, we will reassess.
Once our programmes resume, we will continue to teach and encourage good hygiene; catching coughs and sneezes and washing hands well before eating, after coughing on them etc and in-between as well. We have hand sanitizer which we will use if we are away from bathrooms with hand washing facilities. We will stop using reflective vests for now (we ask that your children please wear a bright top instead) and when cooking we will choose things that are cooked by each child, instead of communially created.
The Nature School tauira will be meeting on the grass in front of the woolshed car park and will only go inside to retrieve equipment or if we need to because of inclement weather. This will mean that if particularly bad weather is forecast, we may have to cancel.
As always, if your child is unwell, please don’t send them to Nature School. If they arrive sick or develop sickness during the day, they will be isolated and will need to be picked up straight away.
We offer customised planning and programming to get small groups of children visiting and learning from and through nature in their local places. Working mainly with Primary schools and pre-school services, through the Bush Sprouts programme we take children to their local bush space weekly, with experienced and qualified professionals to nurture and extend their love for and learning from and through nature. Funding may be available.
