Who Am I?

I am a Primary Science Teacher Fellow. The Teacher Fellowships are funded by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment and administered by the Royal Society of New Zealand. The Fellowships are designed to support the effective teaching of science in primary and intermediate schools.
Teacher Fellows are placed in a science organisation for two terms to gain an appreciation of the Nature of Science - doing science work in a 'real life' setting. I am lucky enough to be hosted by Wellington Zoo.

Flying Food

On Tuesday I was up at the holiday programme that the Wellington Zoo runs. They were having a 'flight day' - looking at lots of different types of wings.
One activity they did was to decorate two paper plates then glue them together with some raisins hidden in the middle. These were then thrown like a frisbee to the capuchin and spider monkeys on 'Monkey Island'.
Some plates split apart and many others ended up in the water but the monkeys loved the ones that made it across.
