Trips and visits Year 2 visit from Willowbank The Year 2 classes enjoyed a visit from Willowbank Wildlife Reserve on Tuesday 25 August, and learned about kiwi and tuatara conservation. Today when the tuatara came to visit Medbury, we learned that a tuatara only needs to breathe once an hour. Tuataras eat plenty of worms and beetles. Tuataras are green and can camouflage. We also learned about how to take care of kiwis as if they’re our pets. Fraser Douglas, 2M
Today a tuatara came to visit. It was given some insects. It ate them fast and it didn’t have any table manners at all! One of the insects went below the cage. The tuatara was still like a statue. The tuatara is green and can camouflage into trees and grass. A tuatara only needs to breathe once an hour. Freddie Smulders, 2M
A tuatara came to visit us from Willowbank. It was very fast when it was getting food from the presenter. They are brown and green. They can be quite long. There are 75,000 of them. They only need to breathe once an hour. They only live in New Zealand. Felix Stevens, 2M
The boys viewed a kiwi egg and touched a kiwi specimen skin.
