Activity 2: Fabulous Ferns [4 points]

One of the most common plants found in New Zealand forests is the fern. It is a special, iconic symbol of New Zealand. You will find pictures of ferns on the jerseys of many famous sporting teams in New Zealand, including the New Zealand All Blacks.

Did you know that many of these teams also have the word ‘fern’ in their name? Use your best researching skills to find three New Zealand sporting teams who use the word ‘fern’ in their title.

On your blog list three sports teams that have the word ‘fern’ in their title. Beside each team’s name, post a picture of their uniform. Then, at the bottom of your blog post tell us which of the three uniforms you like best and why.

1.New Zealand national net ball team: Silver Ferns  

2.New Zealand national rugby team: Black Ferns

3.New Zealand national cricket team: White Ferns 

I think the best uniform is the Black Fearns uniform because there not focusing on the detail and its something basic also because I love rugby and rugby is my hobby thats why I chose Black Fearns as the best uniform out of these three uniforms.

DAY 2: Forest Life

Activity 1: Giants Among Us [4 points]

 

New Zealand has a really special environment. Many of the plants and trees found in New Zealand are not found anywhere else in the world. These plants and trees are endemic to our country.  In New Zealand, one of the largest and longest living endemic trees is the NZ Kauri tree. Kauri are mainly found in three regions of New Zealand: the Coromandel, Auckland and Northland. The largest Kauri tree in the country is in the Waipoua Forest in Northland. It is called Tāne Mahuta. Some people refer to it as the ‘Lord of the Forest.’

Thousands of people go to visit Tāne Mahuta every year. Would you like to be one of those people who got to see Tāne Mahuta in real life? Why or why not?

On your blog, tell us whether you would like to go and visit Tāne Mahuta one day. Be sure to tell us why you do (or do not) want to visit this endemic tree.

 

I would love to visit the Tāne Mahuta so I can try musure the sise and lenth of the tree and I would love to go there because its the biggest tree in New Zealand. Also so I can be with nature and breath the freesh air and lastly I want to go there because thats were my cousins live. So thats why I want to go to Tāne Mahuta.

There are around 4.794 million people in my beautiful country New Zealand. 77 percent of that amount lives in the North Island of New Zealand. Some of that 77 percent of people live in Auckland and that is where my family and I are from. Auckland is a beautiful place  to live at there’s lovely restaurants and delicious food. Also you will be amazed when you see the lovely view of Auckland and did you know that Auckland is the biggest city in New Zealand. The only thing my family doesn't like is the traffic because everywhere we go there’s traffic. The thing my family love’s about Auckland is that there are no guns and no crime. Where we live it peaceful but not in the weekend’s because my neighbours always fight when they drink to much but besides, that I feel good to call Auckland my home.

The Weekend

Guess what I did in the weekend. I went to my cousins birthday he turned 1 I was excited.

I went with my 9 brothers and my parents.

When we arrived we were at chipmunks I was jumping up and down. When we went inside I ran right to the slides and the playground but my mum spotted me with my shoes on so I had to take it off and had to sit at the table to pray for food.

After praying we ate the food it was delicious. I was stuffed but it didn't stop me from playing so I went to a place that you and throw balls around and put some balls in a cannon and shoot people.

Then we prayed again and ate some more. But it was chocolate cake and ice cream and chop suey and and Popsicle also chicken,pig and horse.

Then we went to play laser tag when I got shot I fell and I tripped but it was crack up when I tripped one person and 5 more people fell on that person that I tripped. When we went home we went pass these two strangers and we shouted MATE MA'A TONGA BABY and then we drove off laughing.

When we got home I Jumped into bed tucked up and went to sleep I felt like sleeping beauty. 

THE END 

For The Birds

2 little  bluebirds sitting on a line one poke the other and then came 9.They all sat together poking and hurting each other until a big bird came sinise he was different the little blue bird  they started mocking the big bird.

They continued mocking the big bird until the big bird flew over and made the line go down he was like 100 pounds.

The little birds pushed the big bird off the line but luckily his feet was glued on to the line so the little birds started poking on his feet until he fell off.

When he finally fell off it started  raining feathers then the little birds came down they had no feathers and the big  bird laughed and the little birds felt embarrassed.

The moral of this story is to stop bullying and to not make fun of other people just because they look different.
