My Enviro Schools Expo (Going Bush)



Hi, I’m Charlotte Gillespie.  A few weeks ago, I was chosen to go to an 'Enviro Schools Expo' at Heritage Park. We had lots of fun! First, we went to a lady who knew lots about different types of garden weeds. It was very interesting! We all had to write on a chart about the name of weeds, how they get spread and how to idenyify them.
Secondly, we met a man who knew lots about Maori plants, and what Maori people believe in.  There is a plant called kawa-kawa.  It tastes delicious! He said, “the ones that the bugs have eaten taste better because if its good enough for the bugs, its good enough for you.” However, my favourite part of the expo was...The Puppet Show! It took ages to put all the bit and pieces together, but we eventualy did it.  Soon it was time to go home, so we watched the puppet show - it was awesome.  They said, "farewell”, and we were on our way. I had wished that it was the start of the day, but it wasn’t.
