Description
Celebrate Aotearoa’s diverse flora and fauna with this ‘Birds of the bush and mountains’ collaborative poster!
This Collaborative poster features 32 A4 pages which assemble to make a large wall display (1.7 X 1.2 metres in size)
This collaborative poster is part ONE of a set of THREE!
- The 3 sets connect together to create a MASSIVE 96 piece collaborative poster over 4.5 metres long.
- Perfect for a syndicate to work on together, or complete one a term and add on to your display as your learning journey unfolds
- The posters flow left to right from the bush & hills in poster 1, down through streams and wetlands in poster 2, and eventually ending up on the coast with poster 3.
- Each poster contains native trees, plants, insects, birds and other native creatures that call those habitats home.
- Each creature and plant/tree is labelled in both Māori & English
You can purchase all three individually, or together at a discounted price – find out more about each poster here:

- 2: NZ Birds of the streams and wetlands
- 3: NZ Birds of the coast and shore
LOOKING FOR A WHOLE CLASS COLLABORATIVE COLOURING ACTIVITY?
- Simply print the black and white colouring pages provided and hand out one piece to each pupil to colour before assembling to create a large poster.
- This set contains 32 pieces (hopefully no one has a class size larger than that!) In every collaborative poster, some pieces contain more detail than others—you can always hand out detailed pieces first & save the less complicated pieces for the early finishers.
- You could choose to keep the completed image a secret (only to be revealed once it’s assembled) or share the completed image before starting to help guide their colour choices.
- Wanting a more independent/individual activity? Print the included colouring sheet option in A4 or A3 and enjoy!
- Looking for accuracy with colouring? Print and assemble the poster before colouring to allow research into each creature prior to choosing colours
