Super Sand Dunes!

We are learning to care for our earth. Today we went down to the beach to learn about sand dunes. Sand dunes are very important because they help protect us from they wind. Sand dunes also protect us from storms. When people walk over the sand dunes it destroys them. The lady who told us this was called Cecilia. She worked with the city council. We made our own mini sand dune, complete with walkways and fences. It had to be knee high and arms length. Sand dunes are formed when the tide push's the sand into a pile. There are different types of grass and animals on the dunes. The grass are called Marrum and golden grass. Some animals that live in the sand dunes are the sand hoppers and the rare katipo spider. Do you care for the earth? Image result for sand dune at a beach
