the kiwi syndicate Somes island trip .Daniel G


On  the 20th of Ñovember the kiwi syndicate went to Somes island as a trip that is to do with there nap (native animals and plant) homework. The syndicate travelled by bus and then by boat to Somes island and then the classes had to go through bio-security. When we went through bio-security we had to check our bags to make sure no predators had hitched a ride in our bags, then we checked are shoes for any dirt and luckily only a few people had problems with their shoes and bags. 


After we got back into our groups and then we set off my groups started by going to the  Maori statue and looked at it's carvings. Then we went to a white fence and our group guide told us that this place is very good place for the Maori to keep a good watch  for enemy's  because it is very high up so they can see if they are coming at a far  distance and prepare. 

next we went up to the memorial and are guide  told us that some English people from England trailed for 3 months to get to wellington harbor and sines lots of people got sick so they went into quarantine at Somes island to make shore other people didn't get sick on the mane land. Lots of people died there so the people that worked there built a memorial and bearded them there. Then our guide told us that once there was a man that had a skin disease and he was at Somes island and the people there thought that is was dangerous so they put him on a small island off the coast of  Somes island and he died in 3 months living there. 

Next we went to the quarantine and at quarantine the people that use to work there had to be sprayed with bug spay for 2 minutes and then take there cloths off and take a shower and then put there work cloths on and then go to work. Once we went though  quarantine we saw some geckos in the fire hose box and then we went to the  sheep near the sheep there lots of poo, then went to the lighthouse and had a group photo after that we went to a lookout and then we went back to the boat and then we went back to school. The end    Daniel
