Arataki visitors

On Wednesday we went to Arataki visitors centre to learn about the Native Bush.

First we went for a bush walk with Bronson Smith. I learnt that they used to make tea from the leaves of the Tea Tree. We went to see a Nikita Palm. After we saw a tui bird and it’s tough on the neck. We even heard it sing. Then we saw the Kauai tree and it was seven hundred years old. It is was the father of the forest.

Next we went to the centre and had to find the answers on the cross word. After that we went to take a photo in the big frame at Arataki.

We went to see movie about the  rangers at Arataki park. It told us what to do at Arataki. It was my first time at Arataki and it was fun and cool.

Finally we had  to  get on the bus and  go back  to school. It was a long way to  take us to school. We had to pack our bags and the bell rang  to go home.
