Tahuna Torea

Here is my prezi about our trip to Tahuna Torea. The reason why we went on this trip was because it was linked to our topic flight and all senior classes had been looking at the Godwit / Kuaka. The view was really beautiful and we saw lots of interesting things. I also enjoyed playing on the park because there were lots of playground equitment to go on. I really enjoyed playing on the high ropes, the swings and the swirly thing. I really enjoyed my time here. 

Kuaka Migration - Reading

For the next 2 weeks of school we will be working on a multi-model. The task is about the Kuaka Migration. In today's session we were using our prior knowledge ( facts we already know ). We had to find out some ways of how people might of traveled today, 30 years ago and 100 years ago. We had to use our own knowledge so that we can understand what we are doing.  We also looked back at our question matrix and changed some questions and finished in the gaps that had nothing. I think this was a good way of learning because we all worked as a group and we all understood our learning that was going on.

God wit / Kuaka Facts

 

 For this week's inquiry we are looking at the god-wit bird. I had to complete a grid of the habitat, appearance, diet, and predator and use that information to create a popplet that shows us what a god-wit is. I really enjoyed doing some research about this because I have never heard of this bird before, and because I found out that they can fly all the way to alaska without stoping for weeks.
