Orana Park

Hello! 

Yesterday another class and mine went on a trip to orana park. When we had arrived there we all waited for the others to get to orana park. There was a lady who was going to be helping us for the day that came to talk and explain to us about what we were going to be doing. The classes were split into 2 groups and we went our own ways. 

The first animal that we had went and saw was the lions. There were 4 of them, 2 boys and 2 girls. The boys were a lot bigger than than the girls. They didn't have manes so you couldn't tell that they were boys. The 4 lions are all cousins. These lions know the sound of different vechiles so when they heard the food truck they would get all excited and happy. Did you know that lions are a social animal?

Social animals are animals that live in groups and that are able to survive with a group of animals of their kind. Lions are social animals. The female lions go and do the hunting for food, while the male lions job is to protect the pack. There are also solitary animals, animals that survive on their own without a pack. They are independent. Tigers are solitary animals. At orana park they have 2 tigers that stay together, they are still both young so that is why they are staying together for now. The workers will seperate them when they are starting to mature. The signs of them maturing is them fighting and starting to get serious. Did you know tigers have striped skin?

Parts of a Plant

Kia Ora!

This term we have been learning about biodiversity - Parts of a plant. We have been doing a lot od tasks based on this topic. I am going to be talking about the Parts of a plant. 

Our first task, we were put into groups of 3 and given a pack of cards. The cards had bugs and insects on them. Out of those insects and bugs we had to put them into 2 piles, one pile for the friends and the other for the foes - pests. When all the groups had finished doing that task we all shared 1 each of those two piles. This task was very interesting to do because it was hard to figure out what bug was a friend or foe. 

There is a google drawing that me and my buddy had made to sum everything that we have been learning up. This google drawing is basically showing and telling what the different parts of a plant do and how they help. 

Here is the google drawing:
