What Makes A Healthy Ecosystem

In Te Ngahere we have been learning about healthy ecosystem. We had to write about what makes a good ecosystem. We explained what lives in the ecosystem and what is a healthy ecosystem. What I did well is I got it finished in term 1 because I needed to look at the success criteria. What I need to do next is look at the success criteria in the first place so I can get it finished earlier. Here is my writing about what makes a good ecosystem. Hope you enjoy it.

A healthy ecosystem must have support from everything in it, such as producers, consumers, decomposer, inorganic matter, and organic matter.

Organic and inorganic matterA ecosystem has non-living and living things which is inorganic and organic matter. Non-living things are called inorganic matter like sand, rocks, air and water. They are  part of an ecosystem. Living things are called organic matter like sharks, fish, shrimps and stingray’s. They are also part of an ecosystem.

What lives in a ecosystem and how does it workWhat lives in a Marine ecosystem is Fish, Kina, Lamprey, Sharks, Crayfish, Kelp, Octopus and much more. A ecosystem works by a lot of living organisms that interact with each other. There are three of the organisms which is producers, consumers and decomposer. Producers make food for themselves, consumers eat the producers because consumers can’t make food, and decomposer breaks down the dead or decaying organisms.

ConclusionIf people interfere with the ecosystem and don’t care about our ecosystem, the ecosystem will be unbalanced and there will be no fish and there will be a kina barren, which is bad. That is why we need to have a healthy ecosystem.

Geckos

In Te Ngahere we have been learning about te ngahere to make connections between what we read or view. Ethan, Tk, Dalton and I did a presentation about geckos, We had to put in our presentation what it eats, where it lives, what are it’s threats, what job does it do in the ngahere, why is it important to protect it and facts. What I enjoyed is adding spot the gecko because I thought it would be fun for other people. What I can do better is I can let other people talk when we are presenting.
