Habitat Heroes #habitatheroesnz

This year we have been learning about our local wetland areas. We visited the Waitangi Wetlands and planted trees and plants. We also spread mulch on the plants to protect them. When we were there, we noticed that there were very few animal species around the place.

If we were to win the D.O.C Habitat Heroes competition, we would;

Get rid of the introduced species who eat our native species.

Buy traps to catch the rats and stoats.

We would aim to place the traps on trees and create nesting places for birds.

We could also get a bunch of people each year together to clean up an area in our wetlands, starting from the day we start.

Term 3 Cross Country Training

So far this term we have been busy across Rooms 7, 8 and 9 not only in the classrooms but also outside of them. Our Cross Country training is now in full swing. Four days a week,the students complete their training, each time challenging themselves to run a little further or a little faster or a little longer. The amount of effort that the children put into this is evident.
