On Friday, our 25 whitebait were delivered.
Here are a couple of pictures to show them become new members of Room 11!!
Kirsty for Whaka Inanga talked us through the process of the catching of the whitebait and how they have been looked after in a lab for a while.

We have been given a couple of links about our local rivers. Our rivers are so polluted at the moment that it is affecting the whitebait populations, hence the focus on protecting our whitebait and researching their habits etc in more detail.
