Tree planting in Waitahuna

Tree planting at Waitahuna. On Tuesday room 7 and room 4 went to the Murrays farm and went tree planting and electric fishing. We left school about 9:30 am and came back at 12:30. Everyone went by car and came back by car. While we were with Keiran and Angus showed us an eel that he had in a net overnight. He also showed electric fishing, which is where using an electric current to stun the fish, so they can catch them and look at them more closely. Lamprey eels are very rare, and it was the first one Keiran had ever seen. They are ancient fish, sometimes called a sucker eel  because they don’t have a jaw and they just suck. He told us that the bigger the fish, the more effective the electric shock would have on them.
