Neighbourhood Nature

Boobook Owl

Boobook Owls’ careful attention shows how being curious can help us learn more about the world.

“Being curious means we use our minds to think about new things, ask questions and try to discover the answers.”
– Southern Montessori School Student

“There are lots of ways we can also be curious in nature. We can ask questions about wildlife and plants, and take a close look at insects and the patterns on leaves.”
– Southern Montessori School Student
