Brook Sanctuary




Last Tuesday Room 10 went to the Brook Sanctuary .We did a walk, it was about an hour.We learnt about traps and plants. One of the plants was kawakawa,we ate it. There were 4 sorts of traps we learnt about,one squashes the possums head together. They're going to build a fence that goes around the whole sanctuary and that will stop the pests from killing the native birds. We made kawakawa tea. It smelled horrible but it tasted nice. We learnt that rangiora was the bushmans toilet paper or bushmans friend. We learnt that tutu is poisonious and killed an elephant from a visiting circus.
