Tiritiri Matangi Trip

Last Week we went to Tiritiri Matangi Bird Sanctuary. This Island is a pest free island with lots of birds, mainly native birds. Before we got there we had to get to school at 7:30 AM! Then we were put into groups. My group had Ben, Alex, Abby and Shabeera. Our parent was Dustine (Lavinia's Dad) and he named our team the Blazers. Then we caught the ferry and the ferry took around one hour and thirty minutes. When we got to Tiritiri we got put with a volunteer that guided us through the island. On the walk we saw lots of Kereru  and Tui. We also saw quite a lot of Bellbirds. When we got to the lighthouse we had lunch and then we went on a scavenger hunt. When that was done we walked down to the beach to catch the ferry before we got back on the bus and drove back to Waikowhai Primary School.
