Visiting Maungatautari

Visiting Maungatautari Sanctuary on PhotoPeach

We visited Mangatautari on the school bus. We have been learning about our environment with a focus on growing. We looked at the flora and fauna at Maungatautari. We heard about the different types of plants that grow in the sanctuary and how people and animals can use them. When we first arrived we heard about the types of predators that they have tried to keep out of Maugatautari and how they manage the pests.

Our highlights were seeing lots of Kaka birds and some were within arms reach. We also saw two Tuatara up very close. One had tried to wiggle it's tail off so it had a stump of two tails. We walked a lot and it was a big day out for us.

We would like to thank the parents that came with us on the trip and made it possible for us to go.

Positive Assembly on the Totara steps

Since our hall has been damaged by the fire we have had positive assembly on the Totara deck.

We bring our hats and celebrate other people's success. We watched the indian dance group perform too. They were entertaining.

Planting our seedlings

We planted our seeds a couple of weeks ago. They started growing. They turned into bean plants and they grew crazy long. We needed to plant and water them. We had to untangle them and take them to our kitchen garden. In the the garden we planted our seedlings and we helped them to wrap around some sticks so they would grow up nice and tall.

We made slideshows in the Orchard about the stages of growing plants.
