Yesterday Ben Murray and 8 other chosen people from our school went to the 2012 Enviro schools Expos and the theme was, as mentioned in the title, 'Going Bush'. It was at the Kiwi Museum. We all gathered in the meeting room and got our name/group tags. The leaders of our groups each got a clip board with our group name and the time table on/in it. Our group name was Tawa. 'Going bush' was all about pests to our native environment in New Zealand like weeds and stoats and rabbits, etc. We learnt that African Club Moss ( a type of weed,) is taking over our native moss. And for anybody who is curious, it looks like a lot of tiny, thin ferns. There were also some other action stations, and there we learnt about insects, lots of ways of catching insects and trees, types of trees, and what people used them for before packaged food came along. (Such as what fruits you can eat, what Cabbage trees are used for, etc.) It was all very interesting, and we all had a good time.
