Pihitia Farm Visit

Today our hole syndicate went to a farm called Pihitia Farm ( i think it's called that). We got there by a bus. There was a few animals there such as Cows, Sheep and lamb. We even saw a lamb get chopped up and stuff, it may sound gross to you but trust me it was cool. 

We also got too see a cow get milked. There was this jar there too and the jar had some milk in it, and if you shook it for long enough it eventually turns into butter. Pretty cool right? Another thing we got to see was Sheep ( or lamb i don't really know) get herded by some dogs.

That's all i can remember on the trip. I dont think theres any photos of it otherwise i would probably put some on here.

marine reserve

I looked down from my mask and saw a massive crayfish. Then I realised it was a nest of them, there were tons of them. They were all behind lots of slimy seaweed.

I felt so excited when I saw all of them. When my group went with Joe he pulled back heaps of seaweed and we saw so many more crayfish.

After about 2 hours we all went back into shore, but we had all got bitten by little sandflies. We got to play for 2 hours then after that we came back to school. At that time everyone felt so good to get away from all the sandflies. But we still had lots of itchy bites as result.

  

Native Adventure

On friday we went to Young Nic's Head to see the ecosanctuary and a tuatara. We went by car and then we had to walk up some huge mountains. Once we got up one we had some food. Then we started heading down to climb up the next one. I was one of the first ones to get there so I waited for a couple more people. once the rest of the people got there we started to climb up the last hill. Then we were finally where the tuatara was.

This was the tuatara that Room 5 saw. We all got to touch him but the parents that came got to hold him they were so lucky.

This was as on the way back looking at some stuffed animals.
