Estuary

Walt: Synthesise information from across multiple texts.

We have been trying to understand that plants play a big part in the ecosystem of an estuary. The plants eat the sunlight and then the mud snails, marine worms and crabs eat the plants. The shellfish and young fish eat the mud snails, crabs, and the marine worms. The older fish and the birds eat the smaller predators. Then the humans eat the older fish. Plants play an important role in an ecosystem so let’s keep them safe.

My Food Web

Walt: make connections across multiple texts.



Task Description: We were learning to understand a ecosystem and how a food web relates to the ecosystem. we were learning that if a ecosystem had no balance it would eventually fall apart.  The ecosystem is a very good way of keeping life balanced. they say that the earth is a very large ecosystem.

We had to understand the similarities and the differences in an ecosystem and we knew that every ecosystem has a food web. We decided to make our own ecosystems with our bugs and different things as well as just animals you have to involve plants as well. The food web shows us that the food chain only shows one example and one animal so their might be a chameleon and the chameleon eats the insect, but the spider also eats the insect do you understand what i mean.

The Demon Hunter Spider.

The demon hunter spider lives in the Kauri trees of New Zealand and it is an endemic spider that eats wasps flies and all those other annoying insects. They even eat white tail spiders they have a very fiery personality and they do not like to be around other demon hunters if they meet up with another demon hunter they will usually have a fight. They are an endangered species.

Newspaper Towers

WALT: write a recount about our experience.

Have you ever built a tower of newspapers before? Well I have it is absolutely hard, but i guess it was with a group and there was a timer I think it would have been easier alone and without a timer. You should really give it a go one day.

When our teacher Mr Goodwin told us about the newspaper tower challenge. I thought it would be stacking all of the newspapers, and finding out which one was the highest. It wasn’t. Instead we had to make a plan once we got in our groups. For one part I wasn’t really listening, because I had too many ideas in my head. I faced Hinerangi who was beside me and then I mouthed “me and you”, and she did the eyebrows at me. We moved a little closer so we wouldn’t forget.

Next we worked out our plan. I was thinking a platform at the bottom, and then scrunched up paper at the top. Soon we started the building. Our plan failed. I thought that it would be as easy as baking a cake, apparently not. I was confident with my plan but I soon learned that you had to adapt is as you go.

My team was Hinerangi, Me, Nasibah, Ana, and Maria we were still feeling pretty confident. Our tower however was not going so swell, we then changed the plan and made some poles. We used the newspaper to hold it up. We never recovered though, and we lost.

After that I learned you had to adapt your plan and start over and over again. When we finished we had to put away the tape and scissors. Guess what we did what we did with the newspaper tower, yup we threw it in the bin!

Task Description: For this task i made some towers out of news paper and then I made a copy of the template and put it in my writing folder. I then wrote the paragraphs separately and then posted it all together. I put it on my blog with a WALT, Task Description Labels, and a Title.

Te Taiao o Tamaki the Enviroment of tamaki

Walt: Make Connections Across Multiple Texts

Te Taiao o Tamaki means The Environment of Tamaki this is something that i would love to learn. I would like to learn it because it would help us very much with the horrible pollution problem. We would be able to have some very helpful tree’s including Manuka, Pohutukawa and Kowhai. We would have much more native birds around the area as well and that would make us proud you never know the Kea might even be around ( but most likely it won’t).

Task Description: For this task I made a doc in my reading folder in my google drive. I then named it Te Taiao o tamaki. I wrote about how I wanted to learn about Te Taiao o Tamaki. I then posted it on my blog with a title a Walt a Task description and Labels.
