Yazmin's Honshu White Admiral Butterfly Information Report

We are researching the Honshu White Admiral Butterfly because we have released some Honshu caterpillars to help get rid of our Japanese Honeysuckle we are teaching our tuakuna teina buddies about the Honshu White Admiral butterflies

Tuhi Mai Tuhi Atu

Kia ora,
We are Ngahere class from Paroa School in Greymouth. We are a class of 21 Year 5 and 6 students and our teacher is Miss Farr. We are a fun loving class who love to get outside and play games or go down to the beach and build huts. When it is a rainy day we enjoy sitting inside playing Monopoly Deal (our new favourite card game) or having a round of silent ball.

For most of us this is our second year participating in Tuhi Mai Tuhi Atu and we are really excited about getting the chance to learn more about our buddy classes and the different things they are learning.

Seaweek

For seaweek this week we have been working with Mrs Walklin on the theme of "Tiakina o Tātou Mōana – Caring for our Seas" 

As a class we pretended to be different sea creatures and wrote letters to humans explaining our problem. Here is an amazing example of a letter written by Quaid

Dear Humans 

Don’t be lazy and pick up your rubbish and others rubbish because there is a truck load of rubbish getting dumped in the ocean each minute.

My brother is sick from all the germs and my other brother was killed by the all the rubbish and here is what I mean.

 

This what I mean about you need to pick up rubbish and it's horrible to swim and don’t litter. Rubbish is getting into the ocean by getting blowed to the gutter and then the rain comes and takes it to the drain and that it goes to the ocean.I like eating selp now i’m eating plastic bags because I can’t tell the difference.

Honshu White Admiral Butterfly Update!

We have just heard from Fran from the Guardians of Paroa that the pupa we were looking at last week have hatched! In about three weeks we should be able to see some of these amazing butterflies in the scrub at the back of our field. If you are around our school and see any White Admiral butterflies please let us know so we can inform Maanaki Whenua and the Guardians of Paroa.
