Visiting Otari-Wilton Bush Reserve

We went on our trip. It was called Otari-Wilton Bush Reserve. We walked on a very leafy pathway. We saw a waterfall that was on our Bingo. We saw an 800 year old rimu tree. We walked up a lot of stairs.

Yesterday we went to Otari-Wilton Bush Reserve. We had a sheet of bingo. We had teams for looking for leaves. We found a tree. We gathered Room 1 to get around the tree.

We went to the awesome Otari-Wilton Bush Reserve. The trees were so big, especially the really, really big rimu! When I looked closely at the big rimu I could see a big fat kereru! It made a funny noise. Every person gets a bingo sheet. In my team Molly won.

We went to Otari-Wilton Bush Reserve. It was so much fun. We found 80 Skeleton leaves. Oho, I don’t want to fall in the water when we go to the water fall. At the waterfall we played pooh sticks like Winnie the Pooh. From the waterfall there were about 100 steps to get to the start again. Then we came back to school.

We went to Otari- Wilton on the bus. It was very fun on the bus. I saw heaps of stones. I saw a place where my brother went for a wedding. In the trees I saw a kereru with a funny tummy. It had a white tummy. We went on the track. We came to a picnic place. We went on a bench. We went up to the 800 year old Rimu tree. then we went back to the bus. It was a busy day.

By Carter

We went to Otari-Wilton Bush Reserve. There were lots of beautiful leaves. I found a spiky leaf and it was browny red. There were work sheets for every child in the top block. There was bingo and I was the first to get bingo. We were going to see the 800 year old rimu but we got too tired.

By Logan

On Tuesday we went to Otari-Wilton Bush Reserve. It was so cool with Logan and my mum. I saw a beautiful leaf. It was spiky and yellow. I liked the game of I Spy Bingo.

Brendan, Riley and Kyle saw a picture where a weta was eating a carrot! Weta like to live in little dark holes.

Carter and Logan found out that tuatara live in places with ferns and rocks. They like to eat weta.

Mika and Jason found out that tuatara eat moths and spiders. They don't like people.

Tyler looked at lots of tuatara pictures. He saw that they had lots of spikes on their backs.

Making Ink Traps

We put dye on some tissue so when something walks on it, it will leave footprints.

We put a spoonful of peanut butter in the middle of the plate. We hope small animals like peanut butter!

We put our traps outside under the bushes. I wonder if we will get any tracks.

Kyle Found a Weta

Kyle found a weta. He brought it to school so we could all have a careful look. Did you know that the weta's ears are on his knees?
