Inquiry week 5


On a fabulous day rooms 13 and 15 went to the awesome Boundary stream.Our guides, Pete and Mark, were from DOC, which is short for department of conservation. They showed us the traps that they set to catch worth-less pests. They are all designed to kill.
So then we set off on a bush walk to hear native birds. About five minutes into the walk we saw and heard a Kereru- a wood pigeon! He looked beautiful. Then we came to the pepperwood plant which is as spicy as chili and onions.
"WOW"I whispered to myself,"This tree is as big as any thing I've ever seen! It was over 800 years old and still going!!!
"Look what I found"someone annouced.A dead stoat.Everyone crowded it then we had to move on.Then we came across a weta house with the cave weta in it and did you know that they are native to our amazing country.
