This week in Te Ngahere the year six’s went on a trip to Urupukapuka one of the 7 islands in Ipipiri. We went there with the Project Island Song team because, they were showing our class how they keep the pests away from the islands the pests they were talking about was, rats, stoats, possums and red ants. They try to get rid of the rats, stoats and possums by setting up traps around the island with food inside to trap them when they walk in. Also I learnt that the difference between manuka and kanuka it that manuka is mean and kanuka is kind. Here is some things that we saw and did on the trip: Once we got to Urupukapuka Island we ate morning tea. After morning tea we walked up a steep hill to a pohutukawa tree. Then we walked back down the other side of the hill to where people have planted things and we planted a tree called a beach tree. Then we walked back up the hill then we came back and had lunch. After lunch we got into a group of three and made rat traps for our school. Have you ever been to Urupukapuka?
