Our Bush Walk

We are learning about our New Zealand Native bush. Last week we walked the Paihia lookout walk which begins at the end of School Road.

Here is some writing we did after the walk.

As we entered the bush it was fantastic. We saw lots of awesome trees. I heard a tui swooping through the trees. It landed on a branch. I saw lots of native trees. One of the trees was a lancewood. There were lots of epiphytes  growing high in the tallest trees. There were lots of five finger trees. The tallest trees were spreading above us.

We walked into the bush and I saw lots of different trees. As we walked further I started to run. I saw a lancewood and some epiphytes too. I stopped at the top. It was awesome.

On Wednesday we all walked to the lookout at the top of a hill. We all found different trees. Some had epiphytes growing on them. I saw rimu. They were bigger than my Dad. As we stepped up the stairs we saw lots of trees. There were big and small fungi on a log. There was a stream  by the path with stones in it.
