Polly Pekapeka

This week we enjoyed learning about pekapeka.  This learning was ignited by a visit from Polly Pekapeka, courtesy of Forest and Bird.  We took Polly on a few adventures around the school while we worked on our individual blog posts about Aotearoa / New Zealand's pekapeka.  Thanks for visiting!

Karmi had to search to see Polly Pekapeka in this setting.  She has great camouflage.
Polly found a relaxing pekapeka use for a COVID mask.

This mamaku leaf did not match Polly's camouflage.
Polly was intrigued by this fungi!

Finally a perfect burrow in a tree for Polly.


The dusk was approaching when Polly took flight.
Polly thought that the weather was a little makariri.


Polly tried out the swing on the bush track.

Polly was exhausted after all of her adventures!
