Kiwi visit recount

Class Kiwi Creche Visit 

By Emily and Eden

Intro- 

The class journeyed far to Papora range to find the kiwi creche . Jo the kiwi protector was the expert that showed us around, she explained what the Kiwi Creche was all about and why it was out here. Jo also told us about the evil predators that are killing our native Kiwi.

Waiting for the Kiwi - 

Jo pulled out an aerial to search for Juno the Kiwi, the Kiwi had a small harmless transmitter attached to her leg. There was a faint beeping which was Juno’s transmitter letting us know where she was. We then voyaged to where the kiwi was in hiding. Jo trekked through the tough gorse to locate the kiwi. We remained in a clearing for Jo to return with with the kiwi, the adrenaline rushed through our bodies while we waited.

Seeing the Kiwi-

Jo then fought her way out of the bristled gorse. She held in her scratched hand a twitching bag. Jo had returned with the kiwi her name was Juno. Jo tried her best to catch Kaipo but she couldn’t so she just brought Juno. Jo said for us to split into groups so then we didn’t over crowd Juno. Jo grasped hold of Juno’s struggling legs and heaved her out of the green bag. The brown speckled kiwi was confused and disturbed, she tried her best to escape out Jo’s hands. We were all speechless. The kiwi’s beautiful, soft feathers captured our attention. Jo carefully checked her health, since it was day time Juno was drifting of to sleep.

Personal comment-

Overall I think that this trip was an amazing opportunity for us. I was astonished about how many facts there were about kiwis. It was awesome to be so close to our kiwi. Seeing the kiwi wasn’t the only good part, learning about the kiwi’s themselves was shocking.

Science Road Show Reflection

Science Road Show

Today we went to Grey High for the science road show.The science road show is an interactive science show. They teach children science in a fun way. Grey High students were helping out and making sure we were safe. We were learning about physical and chemical changes, when something changes physically it can change back but when it is change chemically it will not change back. There was a competition where you had to find science stalls with a yellow flag, you had to find out what that stall was about and tell an adult and they got a hole in their card. To enter you had to have 2 or more holes. The prize was something from a 3D printer.
