Hi everyone,
Yesterday we went to Rotoroa island on a ferry it was a lot of fun, here is my peace of writing I wrote about it I hope you enjoy.

Walking around Rotoroa island, we went to the open space where we could see the whole view of the island, other islands too, it was so much fun we could also see the Coromandel, there was a mussel farm that was trying to  clean the dirty water. The ranger was showing us some bird houses, some of them were different sizes, the smallest bird lived in Small roost. Lot’s of different birds singing on the trees and walking around  like a Tui, Takahe, Weka and a fantail and different kinds of saddle backs.

Live traps were all around the island so that it will get rid of all the pests but not kill them, lots of habitat were around, like the beach, there is also a dam ( pond ) for ducks to go into it’s fresh water and to eat. There was a forest that has a weka that scrape the tree and lays there eggs inside. There was a bucket with a fake skink in it buried in a hole, on top of it was a cardboard paper that was covering it, so how it works is that they put a apple or banana in the bucket and spray it with of of the spray that they can smell when a skink comes it can smell the delicious apple and it comes and eats it and a little while they can check what is in the bucket eating the apple and they put it in a plastic bag that is zipped up.

I learnt that the kiwi’s used to live in Madagascar and they flew over to New Zealand that was when they had wings, When they were in New Zealand they thought about what it would be like to walk on the grass because bird might hurt kiwi’s that is why Kiwi’s are native to new New Zealand. So kiwi’s liked walking on grass so they could hide from their enemies and so all the kiwi’s that lived in Madagascar were killed, we were having a conversation with a male Tui there was three of them on the tree.

The pathways were rocky and sandy there were a lot of plants, one of the plants were if you had rassus you could get rid of it also another plant is if you have a sore tummy and you poop is not getting out you can eat the top of the plant it is really helpful if you have any of it. We walked and walked and walked until we stopped and looked at the symmetry at the open view that was really high I could see all the pohutukawa trees planted in a line.
