Introduced, Invasive and a PEST!

 This term Tui classes have been learning about species that are introduced to New Zealand. 

Unfortunately we have seen a rat around our compost area so this was a great learning opportunity! 

Over the course of three lessons, the classes learnt about:

* Predator control

In the final lesson students worked in groups to make their own 'tracker tunnel'. The best ones from each class were set up around the school to see if we could see if the rat was still around after our groundsman had put some bait down. 

Watch this space to see what we found!
