Last week we went on a class trip to Lake Rotomahana. This trip had a dual purpose: to provide us with understanding both about how the environment adapts after natural 'disasters' such as the eruption that formed this crater valley, and to provide inspiration about how we could represent Maori Gods at the formation stage of the world. Have a look at some of our photos of this adventure! Posted by Miss McMenamin
Today in class we were doing adaptation challenges and one of challenges was to investigate an animal that lives in New Zealand. So we did the New Zealand falcon we had to do it's common name, scientific name, drawing, a diagram of its habitat, endangered status, one way you think its adapted to its habitat and three other interesting facts. WALT: Investigate an animal that resides in New Zealand We both drew pictures of the New Zealand falcon! On the next page we have drawn a picture of its habitat, talked about how it has adapted to it and recorded three interesting facts. I think we achieved this well and were successful.
by Lucy and Allie The short tailed bat is an animal that is native to NZ. It is very different to other bats because, this species of bat can NOT fly and so has it has to find it another way.
Appearance: The short tailed bat is a small creature that is the size of a mouse. The fur on the short tailed bat is soft and light brown. I'm learning to write a report and did my sample on sugar gliders. This is a picture and the life style of a sugar glider. Sugar gliders that live in the wild make their nests high in tree hollows, the nest itself is made of leaves. One of the sugar gliders will mark his nest with urine. Sugar gliders can glide for the length of a football field. They use their tail for balance and a membrane from their wrists to their ankles, that acts as a parachute giving them the ability to glide. Sugar gliders can leave an invisible trails for their families to follow by letting their tails slide along behind them. Sugar gliders defend their territory aggressively and noisily. Overall sugar gliders are fascinating creatures. I think my next step learning would be to use a variety of sentence starters
by Sophie The Short-Tailed bat is an animal that is native to New Zealand. It is very different to other bats because this kind of species can not fly, so instead of flying away from predators they have to find other ways to get away.
we are doing report writing on animals. here is my introduction for my jellyfish report. enjoy, Jellyfish are animals that live both deep in the sea and in shallow waters. There are multiple varieties of jellyfish but they all have one thing in common-no jellyfish has bones. They are referred to as invertebrates. These animals are often found drifting in sea currents and can be extremely deadly here is a picture of a JELLYFISH by WILL!!!

here is a picture of a JELLYFISH Through out the week we have been doing a sample writing on the sugar gliders. Sugar Gliders a very small gliding creatures, in fact when they are born they are the size of a grain of rice. These unique animals are native to Australia and Indonesia, they are also found in Papa New Genii. Sugar Gliders have an accurate aim of jump; they can jump the length of a football field. Here is a picture of the sugar gliders. By Manawarangi
The Morepork WALT: investigate an animal that resides in New Zealand The morepork is a native New Zealand bird.it is nocturnal and is the only bird in the world to know its name. Its distinctive “morepork” call is heard commonly heard throughout NZ. Habitat Morepork’s live in the trees of large forests and protected wildlife parks. They normally burrow in dead tree trunks that have been hollowed out. They live in small families of 3-4. Diet Moreporks catch and consume a wide variety of small animals, including large insects, small birds, (especially silvereyes), and small mammals. The diet varies with season, generally in proportion to abundance of prey species. Insects taken include huhu beetles, weta, cicadas and large moths. Threats Prone to predation when nesting, by cats, possum, rats and mustelids. When nesting on the ground eggs and chicks may also be susceptible to predation by pigs and hedgehogs. Sex bias towards males recorded in the Eglington Valley suggests that females may be vulnerable to predation when incubating and brooding in cavities. By Will Field Our class is learning about the different maori gods. Our god is Papatuanuku so we had to come up with four main features that were action, thought, costume and face paint. These are Papatuanuku's main features. Enjoy! Based on this, we are going to do a drama production to our parents. by Alyzae and Sophie
