Bay Bush Action

In Te Ngahere we have been learning about saving birds and animals. People from Bay Bush Action, Brad and Stella told us about birds and other endangered animals. What we did on Friday is that we set traps around the school and the plan is Paihia School is going to be the first pest free school in New Zealand. What I enjoyed is putting traps around the school and learning about endangered birds and animals.  

A Moment In Time Writing

In Te Ngahere we were writing a moment in time story. The moment in time story was about the forest. What I did well is that I got more information, what I could do better is to not use I, we and you.

Here is my writing

The forest is like a tree giving another tree a high five. The dirt is like quicksand making people stuck in the mud. The wind is like giving the boats and bird's energy to move. The birds are like singing to their friends and making people annoyed with the birds sing.

Trees are like emeralds growing in their nest like little birds. The clouds are like dinosaurs in the sky having a dinosaur fight. I can see trees growing like a house being rebuilt. The bird’s are like the ‘Twitter’ bird tweeting to each others like on twitter.

The Tui is like talking to another bird from the other side of the tree. The fog is like a sand storm coming our way to destroy the trees. The rocks are like diamonds stuck in the rock for a long time until a brave and mighty warrior come and get the diamond out of the rock to give it to his king.

kaitiakitanga o te moana

In Te Ngahere, last term we were learning about kaitiakitanga o te moana. We have learning this to see if we can look after our taonga and to see why Matai beach was banned. What I did well is that me and my group mates work as a group, what I could do better is to not social talk to my friends during learning time.

Animation about Food Chains

In Te Ngahere we have been making animations we've been making animations about food chains. When we finished our animations we had to screencastify our animations and put it on a google slide called Te Ngahere Movie Premiere. My animation was about Kelp using sunlight to get energy, kina eat the kelp to get energy, crayfish eat kina, carpet shark eat crayfish and a great white shark eat a carpet shark. What I did well was that I got my animation finished on the last day, what I could do better is not to put other things on my animation because it wasn’t part of the topic.
