"When we go to Maungatautari we will need sndwiches for lunch, a snack for morning tea and a drink bottle if we get thirsty. We will need some adults. We have to respect the adults. We have to listen so we don't get lost.

This week we are learning about the Takahe. We are comparing it to the pukeko and looking at the differences.
