Possums & Pests with Miss Spencer

Bang! The crash of a once used Possum trap. Miss Spencer  had just demonstrated what a Possum trap does. It was a tall yellow bucket with a tear-shaped hole big enough for a Head and neck.
What happens it we put the apple and cinnamon inside the bucket, and at night time the Possum will smell the cinnamon and will come down to put its head inside, as soon as the body touches the bucket, the bucket will release a bar and snap its head. We didn't use any Possums fortunately, but we just kicked it and it snapped.

Later on, we played a game where two people were possums and as they tagged us, we became a possum and it would continue. Miss Spencer added a new character to the game, and there were two hunters added.

We copied down tons of facts, and watched a slideshow play which told us plenty of information about Pest's in New Zealand. I can't wait till our next immersion!

Adorable little Possums, its such a shame that they kill our Native Birds and
destroy our Wildlife.
