Pest traps

Listen to the lovely singing of the  tui and the beautiful chirping of the  piwakawaka if you do then you'll realise that if we don't put pest traps up all of that will go away. Tui have a wonderful singing voice and when  you wake up don't forget to go to your bedroom window and you might just be lucky enough to hear the tui sing! lucky you .Yay yay yay! Our pest traps are really safe because there only small enough  for rats and mice.  So that means kids can't  put there hands in it. These pest traps are made of  wood and they can only trap mice and rats.Not stoats, possums  because  the hole is too small.  Pest traps trap rats and mice really fast like this fast zoom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anne and ethan taught us how to set a pest trap safely.

Why Brooklyn School should have Pest traps

Think of the soft pitter-patter of the Kiwi, the loud but impressive squawk of the Kea as it swoops down to catch it's prey and the soft sound of Tui from the power line.If you let us put pest traps in brooklyn school this might become a reality.

We might have 2 or 3 more times native birds that we have.Also New Zealand will be so much safer.And because of pest traps there will be less  diseases.But the good thing is that people won't be hurting their fingers in the traps.

We think you should let room 14 put pest traps in Brooklyn because you won't have to pay for anything except bait.Also we will have more native birds.That's why Room 14 thinks Brooklyn School should have pest traps.

Imagine brooklyn to be a hill with singing tuis in trees and fantails chirping in the air. Lesser short tailed bats fill the night sky. New zealand could be safe off pests.

We need to trap the pests so we could be safe. We will save our endemic creatures, this is your chance. We need you let us have traps so we can have more endemic birds and animals. Our endemic animals are very special to new zealand. So if we put traps traps out the endemic birds won’t get extinct.

We should use the traps because they are in boxes so you won’t get hurt get unless you purposely put your hand in. Also we learnt how to set the trap safely.

We can’t Kill all of the rats, mice and other pests because they are a big part of  the food chain. We want to kill most of the pests but maybe let 2% of the pests live. If  we kill all off the pests we will  lose all off the birds that eat the pests.

So we should have traps in brooklyn school.

Imagine NZ predator free. Room 14 has been working on putting out pest traps to trap

Rats and mice. We are thinking about to put out traps to help our nz Endemic birds

so the Endemic birds won’t disappear of the face of the Earth. But hopefully we can

help so that does not happen. Room 14 have been writing about  trapping rats and mice.

Well that is the end of the information by Brooke.

No pests:

Ms Rhodes imagine endemic bird,s everywhere you go it would be amazing. You could go outside and lay in the middle of long grass and listen to the piwakawaka and the  impressive squawk of the kaka and the sweet chirp off the hihi.when you wake up you can listen to bird,s singing song,s.

Room 14 have learnt how to set a  trap safely so hopefully no one will get there finger;s cut off so come help the bird,s by killing rats and mice and predators. So it would be nice to see lots of birds like kaka piwakawaka and the robin there's lots more birds to mention but there is so many it's practically impossible

Miss rhodes you  and room 14 can make brooklyn school have no pest and just have native and endemic birds everywhere so no pest just native and endemic birds like kiwi and tui!!!!!

Close your eyes and imagine a wonderful world of birds soaring above our heads with beautiful songs of tuis and the hooting of morepork at night with forests full of endemic birds and animals.

This is your chance to save the endemic animals by placing pest traps around the school. If we do this we could save lots of native/endemic birds. If we don’t do this now in a few years they could be extinct. Since birds are special we want to save them not let them die sadly in pain.

The traps are safe because room 14 know how to set the traps safely which are very secure. The traps have a one way entrance. The trap has a pressure plate with peanut butter in it.

It is a good idea to trap rats and mice because they might carry very bad diseases that could make us sick. If we don’t do this some people could get sick and then it could spread like wildfire. If this happens soon it could be a safer and healthier environment.

Imagine a beautiful school full of endemic birds and beautiful butterflies. Well we can be sure to help you with that. Poor endemic birds are suffering the pain of pests eating the birds. We need your help to make Brooklyn School pest free but we can’t do that unless you help us.

Mice and rats are killing our endemic birds and we do not want to make them extinct because they are endemic to New Zealand. (Endemic means that a native plant or animal is only found in a certain place).That’s why we want to put pest traps in school.

The traps are going to be very safe because they are going to be in the middle of a wooden box and out of reach of children. The good thing about pest traps is that it is completely free, Brooklyn School doesn’t need to spend a cent on the pest traps!

Rats carry diseases. We need to kill rats because they carry diseases and it’s starting to infect us. We do not want it to spread because everybody will eventually be sick but if you let us put pest traps in our school that won’t happen. I’m counting on you Ms Rhodes!
