Tiritiri Matangi Trip

Talofa lava blogging world, last Thursday we went to Tiritiri Matangi Island for a senior school trip. We went to the island on the ferry. We each got to go to the top of the ferry in the groups we got put into. When we got to the island we sat down in our groups and the instructor from the island told us about it and what happened. We went for a walk in our groups again and were looking out for birds then writing them down on the piece of paper. I learnt that when the Maori first saw the Nikau they thought there would be coconuts on them but actually there was nothing so they called it the Nikau tree which means no coconuts. When I was on the island I found out a lot of new things about it. We also did a treasure hunt to find little finger puppets. I didn't find that many, I only found one. After all of the hunting and looking we went down to the beach so we could chill and have some relax time but I got injured. After all of that we came back to Auckland and went home. I saw a lot of birds that I didn't know about so it was a great experience to see those birds like a Takahe, Tui, and a Pukeko.
