The Pukeko class had a magical time at Tiritiri Matangi Open Bird Sanctuary.
We were very fortunate to have the most wonderful guide who took us on a fabulous tour of this Island beginning with a special look at the gorgeous Little Blue Penguins. Wow! We were so lucky to see these, the smallest of all of the Penguins!
We met the Saddleback, the Stitchbird (Hihi), Bellbird, Tui and the always fun Fantail.
We were on guard at lunchtime protecting our sandwiches from the fascinating Takahe!
Our very special day concluded with our students taking part in a beach clean up, after a very interesting talk reminding us to take care of our planet Earth.
