Endemic bird, plan or animal

Two weeks ago my classroom  Te Ngahere have been learning about native and endemic birds ,trees, insects and animals. All our literacy groups were allowed to choose which one we wanted to learn about.  My group chose New Zealand gecko. The first presentation was not the best but the second presentation was a lot better because we got accurate information from the DOC website. I enjoyed learning and helping my group with our  presentation about the gecko .

Bay Bush Action

Last week in Te Ngahere two visitors came to our class to help us become trappers for a rat and mouse free school in Paihia. We have been learning about what endemic and native animals are.  They brought along with them some pests and endemic birds like the possum, hedgehog, kiwi, and some photos of animals. We got some traps to trap the rats and mice. We used bait to attract the rats and mice to come into the traps that we set and gloves to pick up the dead mice or rats that are in the traps. We put some traps along the fence line of our school. We were unable to go up the bush last week because of the weather.
