Our Stories About The Nest

Here are the stories we wrote about the nest Miss Gormly brought into school.

The nest looks like a pīwakawaka nest and a kereru's. I think its a piwakawakas because it's little. 

By Hifo 

The Nest Story 

The nest had a spider in it. The nest had sticks in it. The nest was brown. I think the nest belongs to a piwakawaka.

By Saryah 

The nest is made of sticks and dirt. 

By Rakeena

The nest is wet inside. What bird is it? I saw a spider in the nest. 

By Ani 

We were going in the tree. I looked at the birds nest. I was taking it out. 

By Tarzan 

The bird eats worms and he likes grapes. 

By Robert

Miss Gormly found this nest in the garden. We looked at it closely to see how it was made. We were wondering which type of bird made it.
