kiwi trip

When we showed up to the kiwi creche. We all got out of our cars and waited at a tall gate covered in mesh on the top was a long, curved piece of metal . Our class waited patiently by the opening talking to people around us. As Joe showed up on the other side of the gate, She came and told us about the place and what to do when in there. As we went in some of the class walked along calmly but the rest ran in front excitedly. When we got to a shed we talked about the kiwis and lots of interesting facts about them.

We learned that kiwis can live to seventeen years. When Jo had finished talking we went to see the kiwi called Juno. Jo rummaged through the gorse looking for Juno as we waited patiently. When Jo emerged from the prickles she was holding a green bag with Juno in it, squirming and cheeping. Jo sat down in front of us and introduced us to the squirmy kiwi. We split up into two groups as not to scare him. She weighed him and took his health checks before letting the other group come over and see him.

When we had finished our kiwi trip we went back to get into our cars and the parents drove us back to school. seeing Juno was very exiting he was the biggest kiwi i had ever seen!! I almost fell asleep in the car! It had been a long day.
