This week Nga Paiaka syndicate went to Rotorua to Kiwi Encounter and Rainbow and Fairy Springs. We got to see real live Kiwi and Kiwi chicks!! The Kiwi Encounter help Kiwi by getting them when they are eggs. They incubate the eggs and look after the Kiwi chicks until they are big enough to go back to the bush.
Shakira says “We got to see eggs and an egg with a Kiwi beak sticking out”
Casey says “We saw two Kiwi that were alive, they were brown and it was dark and we didn’t see it properly”
Jenna says “It was fun seeing the Kiwi and we got to see a Kiwi on the TV hatching. It takes 3 days for the Kiwi to hatch”
Here are some pieces of writing from the students of Kahukura about their day in Rotorua.

We went on an adventure to see Kiwi. The Kiwi hatched out of the egg. Happy Kiwi.

I saw a baby Kiwi and I saw a ferret and it was huge. A Kiwi takes 3 days to hatch.

When we went to the Kiwi Encounter it was fun. They looked little and it was brown and they were fast.

It was awesome seeing a cool Kiwi. It was bigger than I thought. It looked like a big fluffy ball. We saw lots more animals too like chickens, pigs, fish, pidgeons, baby fish and bunnies too. They ran very fast.

Lukus came with us. My Dad came with us. We saw a horse on the side of the road. We saw a Kiwi hatch out of the egg one day ago.

Yesterday we went to Kiwi Encounter. We saw a Kiwi chick in a box with some glass in it to keep the chicks warm. The chicks can stay in there. We saw where they put the box with chicks. Our guide showed us around the place. We saw a lot of fish. We saw some Tuataras. They are the only dinosaurs that are left. We saw a grown-up Kiwi.
