Week 2: Environmental Explorers

We’re partnering with MPHS Vision/Twin Streams Oratia and Opanuku so children can explore our local environment and learn while they’re having fun!

Kids will test the local water from our streams, check contamination levels and learn about what that means for the environment. This educational activity includes an information exhibition focusing on the different streams, insects and bugs that surround Henderson and the Waitakere Ranges.

Children will enjoy viewing the bug display and learning about the different leaves each insect likes to eat. They can create their own native clay animals dressed in leaves plus their own mini stream to take home.

WestCity Waitakere is the place to be these school holidays, so come join in the fun with our FREE and EDUCATIONAL kids activities this July!

Testimony:

I closed a very important “first chapter’ last night. I feel so blessed to have attended such an amazing workshop, overflowing with such richness, support and encouragement. But most importantly, love. Love for being human, for being a woman and for life and all its flaws. I also want to express my gratitude for meeting Dee, a wonderful woman and amazing teacher. Dee, you have made me think, process and confront a lot of things. Here is to you and to you building a community of like-minded souls who are eager to learn and transform. Thank you and good luck Dee, I cannot wait to see your work manifest and touch many more lives. - Sheryl LP
