To every teacher who takes a class outside

When children look closely at a meadow, a tree or a blackbird, they start to care about it. Teachers make that happen, often with extra effort: permission slips, weather, thirty pairs of shoes.

This clip is our thank-you. And an invitation: Porini is free for schools. Our AI field guide helps pupils identify plants and animals outside, and our teaching kits for cycles 1 and 2 follow Lehrplan 21.

In the clip, a blackbird is hiding in the scene. Males are black with a yellow-orange bill; females are brown. Many classes can find one within a few minutes of leaving the building.
