Orakanui Sanctuary trip
On Friday the 26th of June Room 9 and 10 went to the Eco Sanctuary in Orakanui. It took us 40 minutes to get there. We all enjoyed it. We saw Kakas and some of us saw the Riflemen. There were also Tui's and Bellbirds. Tahu, our guide took us to a pond where we fished out little bugs, Jenna gave us cups and polystyrene to charm the birds, Ben took us on a walk and talked about traps and Joanne helped us track the Kaka. Tahu dressed one of our teachers up as a bird(Mrs Garforth) . We all laughed our heads off. There were feathers and wings involved but the one thing that made us all giggle was these GIANT Googly Eyes taped onto GIANT glasses. We left at 2:15 and arrived back at school at 10 to 3.It was a great learning experience and we all enjoyed it.
