On Tuesday Room 14
and Room 13 went to Nga Manu when we got to there we met the rangers. One of
them was called Mike. We learnt about tuataras,
kiwis and eels, even though we already knew most about it. We got there on the
bus. The lookout was so high I felt sick.

It was fun at Nga
Manu because the nocturnal house was cool. I saw a real live rat, hornet and
kiwis. Then we went up to the look out that
was ten metres up.

On Tuesday, room 13 and 14 went to Nga Manu in Waikanae. When
we got to school we had to put our bags on our chair and had a play then the
bell rang and that’s when we left in a bus. We went to Nga Manu to see kiwis, tuatara,
keas, the trees and many more kinds of birds. When we were at Nga Manu we had a
snack and then the rangers asked questions to us. Then we saw some eels, they were as long as
our arms. We had morning tea then hopped in our groups and went around. We went in the kiwi house where there were 2
kiwis in their burrow. There was a look out where you could see the whole of
Nga Manu. There was a kea walk through and there were 2 keas that were flying
over our heads. They were green. In my dad’s group was me, Dontae, Krystina, Thomas
and Emily but she wasn’t at school. Nga Manu has this little land for tuataras.
The biggest tuatara was the size of my
foot. We saw a tui that some of us
scared away. A tuatara pooped on Nika’s
hat.

On Tuesday, we went
on the bus to Nga Manu. We went on the bus with Room 13 it took one and a half hours.
When we got there we got to go in this
room and had one thing out of our lunchbox and some people came out and asked
us some questions, then we answered the questions. Then once he showed the tuatara to us, he
showed us the real eels that were in the water.

On Tuesday Room 13
and 14 went to Nga Manu. Me, Kazin and
Jaime got to feed the eels. It was fun. I still remember what they eat. They love little baby chicks.

Last Tuesday we went
to Nga Manu. We got to pat a real
tuatara. When it got to Nika it pooed on his hat. It was so funny that everyone laughed at him but
the tuatara kept weeing. The tuatara was green and soft. The kiwi was brown and they only have small
wings and they can’t fly. The next
animal was an eel. They were big
eels. They were hungry and they wanted
their lunch. Their lunch was so yucky
that I almost spewed.

On the 27th
of November, we went to Nga Manu. It was so awesome there. Jamie, Kazin and
Braoli got to feed the really big, fat, black, ugly eels that kept on trying to
get up and get the food. The food looked like spew. Then we slit up in groups.
I went with Jamie, Jamie’s dad, Jaelyn and Iesha. The first thing we saw was a
big white swam and it was bigger than Hendrix. Then later on we went to the
look out. It was so awesome, but I ran up the stairs and I nearly slipped. When
we went up I saw Nika’s Mum’s group. Then we went to the nocturnal house we saw
a real kiwi. Then we went back and I stayed with Jamie’s dad and had a little
snack. Jamie, Iesha and Jaelyn went back into the nocturnal house and they came
back and we left. On the way back, everyone at the back of the bus fell asleep.
