On Sunday 15th October we went to a pest free island for being amazing at collecting moth pods.
We all woke up and met each other at school at 7:50am and Miss Long drove us to the Maritime museum to meet with the other schools. After we started boarding the boats.
At the island we went on a walk and started naming trees like pōhutakawa, five fingers, pūriri and more. Then we went down on the beach and ate our lunch. After we started boarding the boats again; it was around an hour and a half to get there and then back again.
My favourite thing was the boat ride back when we got soaked!

On the trip we learnt about the plants on Motuihe island. What I learnt was the difference between Toetoe and Pampas grass. They are both kind of like flax but Pampas has one vein on the leaves and it is introduced. What I enjoyed most was the boat trip with the big waves. It was like a rollercoaster. Overall I had a great time.
