Zealandia!



On Wednesday 28 April Rooms 5 and 6 went to Zealandia in Karori. We saw Geckos, Tuis, Wood Pigeons, ducks, spiders and Shags. We went for a long walk around the bush and listened to lots of different bird songs with Tracy. She taught us so much about all the work they do there and how hard they try and keep out all those pesky animals that endanger all our native birds, plants and animals. We got to go inside the new building and watch a scary movie all about the changes that have happened to New Zealand's plants, land and animals. We even got to see a moa and moa bone and touch a baby kiwi that had died. It was so soft. We learned sooooo much!

What a great trip it must have been. We were very impressed with all the facts that were relayed to us at the dinner table that evening.

Hi Room 6
I went to Zealandia last week and Brian and Tracy told me how much they enjoyed showing you around. You asked thoughtful, clever questions and were great listeners. Did Tracy tell you about the clever robins at Zealandia learning to count? My friend Michelle has been teaching them on her science fellowship.
You can see it on my science blog. Have a look!
