Penguin Experience
14th - 16th July 2010
Experiencing little blue penguins (Korora) in North Taranaki
60 Springs is offering a 3-day penguin workshop involving 8 students (Year 9 -11) selected from around Taranaki, New Zealand. The workshop will involve a variety of presentations, activities, problem solving and an overnight stay at a local beach.
Students will get to work with Philippa Agnew (marine biologist from Oamaru Blue Penguin Colony), Jenny Lynch (Places for Penguins, Wellington), Mark Meyburg (RSNZ teacher fellow) Elise Smith and Barbara Hammonds (Nga Motu Marine Reserve Society).
This blog will follow the students over the 3 days providing updates of what they get up to on their penguin experience starting 14th July 2010.
