Summer learning journey Kowhaiwhai

 

Today for our summer learning journey we had to make our own Kowhaiwhai. I decided to do 3 different ones. I also decided to only colour 2 out of 3 because I couldn't be bothered to colour the big one in because if our whole class posted these we could go to the beach, so wish us luck! Maybe next time I could make this BTB (Better Than Before) by colouring the big one, but overall I think I did a pretty good job. 

The Saimaa ringed seals and the Tigers

The name of the animals that the WWF is trying to save is the Saimaa Ringed Seal.
What the WWF is trying to do to save the Saimaa Ringed Seals is to make snow banks so that the pups can be protected from cold predators and any human disturbance.
The WWF didn't say they had any success.

Awesome animals

On our blog, we have to create a made-up animal/beast.

I made up a jumper-corn is a jumping unicorn!

Feels like a soft fluffy rug made from white Possum fur.

Looks like a white fluffy polar bear as clean as snow.

Sounds like a baby horse neighing softly.

Smells like a big cloud of strawberry cotton candy!

Cactus Math problem

Let’s imagine that you are given a cactus for your birthday. To keep it alive, you must give it 3 ml of water every day.

Over one full year, how much water will you need to give your cactus plant?

The answer to this one is 1095 ml.

I figured this out because I just did this.....

365 x 3 = 1095!

Three sport teams that have ferns in them.

Silver Ferns (Netball)

Football Ferns (Football)

My favourite ferns uniform

because that is my most favourite sport out of Netball, Rugby and Football!

Why I would like to visit the Endemic tree in Tane Mahuta.

I would like to visit the Endemic tree because it is a very powerful tree,
it is a very beautiful tree that looks like it has been very healthy for all these years,
it would be fun to see how many peoples arms can fit around the whole tree!
And that's

 why I think that I should go to the Endemic tree!

Maui and his big fish facts

Today we read about Maui's fish. Here are the interesting facts I discovered

Fact one: Maui always wanted to go fishing with his brothers but they never let him.

Fact two: So he hid in their canoe without them knowing.

Fact three: The brothers noticed that the canoe was heavier so they started arguing about who was making it heavier.

Fact four: Maui revealed that he was there to the brothers and surprised them!
