Green week

This week we were learning about native NZ birds. We did some reading and writing about the Piwakawaka (Fantail). We also had a visit from Miss Best (an ex-teacher who now is a park ranger) and she put in some stuffed birds and talked about their different features. At Green Day assembly we saw what all the other classes had been learning about.

Fantails:

- Live for 3 years
- Are small (maximum 16cm)
- Get their name from the shape of their tails
- Eat insects such as flies, ants and even wasps!
