Think about how your body, mind, whānau, spirit, and connection to the land are all supported by healthy water.

Use your senses to discover the sights, sounds, smells, and living things around your local stream, river, or lake. This activity helps you slow down, look closer, and wonder about the world of water near you.

Identify a local waterway that you are keen to explore, observe, and take action for. At the waterway record your observations (both good and bad).

Reflect on your learnings (seeds planted), skills you have been developing (growth), and the impact you are having (ripples made).

Take some art supplies out into a green space near you to study the traits of local birds as inspiration for some form of art.
