Welcome to the beginning of the New School Year

Kia Ora Koutou to all the whanau and students of Room 11.  We are very grateful to Tesha and her family who brought in a Stick Insect that was found on her uncles leg.
The class had some questions about them such as - Can they smell?  What do they eat?
We looked up some information and found out these facts:-

• they peel off their skin and eat it
• they play dead when a bird is near
• they throw out their eggs and they look like seeds
• if a leg or arm is eaten by a bird they can grow it back
• some can change colours
• they camouflage 
• some can fly
• they eat rose, blackberry and oak tree leaves
• they are not raised by their parents
