We had a wonderful day at Mount Bruce. We saw lots of native birds and animals, including kiwis and tuataras. Feeding the hungry eels was a highlight, especially when George fed them a RAT!!

After lots of practising, it was our turn to perform on the stage in front of our families and friends. It was VERY exciting!
