Today we wrote about what we did on Tuesday, you can read my writing to find out what it's about!
When we got to the main room, we were all excited. We saw some native birds through the window. We saw some Weka, Torea, Tuis & some Skinks in an enclosure. Rotoroa was beautiful alright They taught us about some traps & smells to attract pests or to identify them. We later got to pass around different animal skins that come from animals that endanger native animals or birds. Some were rough, & some were soft. Some people were grossed out but I was especially sad. There was a cat skin… but at least it was a domestic cat, not a pet cat.
After that, we split into our groups. Group A & B Scott class, & Group A & B Killeen Class. We went on a fun journey around the entire island while Killeen class stayed & did a GPS activity. We learned about a couple of plants, saw a pair of takahe, looked over the entire island from a hill, & much much more. Sadly, no Kiwi. After all, they are nocturnal.
A couple of hours later, we all went to a beach there called ladies bay & had our lunch. Mmmmm, scrummy! My chicken & avocado sandwich was the best! Soon after we went to do our GPS activity. First, we had to locate a piece of paper with our group, it had a pest or native footprint on it. Then return to the main room & try to identify the insect or animal on a tablet PDF. Soon after, we had to use the GPS to find a stuffed bird with a few tracking bands on it. When we reach the location, we use binoculars to spot the bird in the area. We then write down on a clipboard the colors of the bands, & return to the main room.
We then went to a cool museum sort of place & there were some cool recordings by some people that were talking about something (I actually didn’t know) & they were cool. There was also a 3D MAP on a table & a cool illusion in-graved into the floor. After, we put our stuff & got ready to go. We had a couple of pictures taken, then we had a drink. By that time, it was time to go home...
Purr Nikolai,
ReplyDeleteI really like your writing. It was really descriptive. What was your favorite activity? My favorite activity was doing the GPS activity. I hoped you enjoyed the trip.
Kind Regards
