Haere Nga Ki Oruapaeroa

On Rapare 22 Here-Turi-Koka, tuakana from Ata Hapara
went via van to Travis wetlands.
We were met by Pete a C.C.C environmental educator.

 

I learnt about bugs; damselfly nymph,
water flea, back swimmer,water boatman,
flatworm and cyclops midge larvae.

We used a sieve  to catch them and I had to use a figure
8 technique to catch them and I caught 3
water boatman, 10 damselfly nymphs, and 2 back swimmers
then I learnt about what the wetlands mean.

Did you know the Wetlands is a bed and breakfast for the birds.
Birds eat and sleep it's a sponge because it absorbs water
it's a nest birds lay their eggs there. It's an airport birds land
there and eat and then take off again it's so because it can clean the
water is like a sieve

Then we went to see the birds and I saw two black swan three
fantails and a few ducks
Send we learnt about the food chains and the food chain starts
with how to get gift then pukeko
the Mosquito then a damselfly
and then a a kingfisher bird And then we left 

Overall the Wetlands were pretty interesting.

My Cross Country

Cross country

On Monday I did cross country at I was excited then

I was nervous You know my friend and cheer them on.

“Year five and six 2 K race” called the producer.

Oh no that's my race. 3:2:1 go!

My heart is pounding as I take off.

In my head I think of a song and sing that song when I run.

I'm on my second lap now and coming in second.

I can see the finish line and suddenly I'm first by a mile.

I finished the race and go to the tables and tell them

I came first.

Did you know the first second and third people

in the race get to go to zones?

So that means I get to go to zones.

Home time I went to tell my mum

I can go for the third year in a row

she said that means you get to go to zones again.

that's the end of cross country.
