Part of our learning at camp was around saving endangered species and ways to do that. After getting back from camp Room 7 had the privilege of helping out with a project moving 31 NZ Robins to Mt Pirongia. We created the boxes to transport the Robins and some of us also participated in the release of them up at Mt Pirongia. It was such a great way for us to see that we can be involved in making a difference. Hopefully we will see an increase in Robin numbers up Mt Pirongia and in the future tell our Grand-kids that we were part of the beginning of it!
Well done Room Seven!
ReplyDeleteThe robins were so small and I thought they would be as big as a black bird but they where the size of a sparrow.

I wish I went, it looked like a really good experience and a really nice thing to do for the community. Pixie :)
ReplyDeleteIt was very fun there. I didn`t know Robins were so small. Hope we get to do more things like this.

The Robin is so cute, I never thought they were so small too. Making the boxes were challenging the hardest part was trying to line up the hole in the cardboard box with the screw and washer. Thankyou to all the parents who helped us make the boxes. Daniel
ReplyDeleteFrom what I have heard the Robins are cute and are very small.

Awesome morning at Mt Pirongia releasing the Robins. Well done Room 7, the boxes served their purpose well. Our family looks forward to seeing and hearing the Robins next time we go walking at the mountain. The Francis Family.... Rob, Jan, Aiden and Bradley.
ReplyDeleteI thought that the Robins would walk out when everyone opened the boxes and let them out, but they flew out in a hurry.
