Science Trip (Zayden & James)

Yesterday the middle school went on a field trip to Lincoln university where John showed our group a bug collection. We both thought it was really interesting. I liked looking at the stick bug at the end that was bigger than my hand! I Now have learnt a lot about bugs e.g. there are 10,000 different named insects in New Zealand, but john reckons there's another 10,000 undiscovered ones out there still. we also went to Mahoe reserve and did a scavenger hunt for the signs of the maori names of native plants. My group found all of them including the 100 year old fire box in the bush. It was a cool field trip.
