Camp reading 20.10.21

 Kia ora Readers, 

Next week Ruru is going to camp, so the teachers thought we could have a camp themed reading create tasks. I´m really looking forward to making memories and having fun. So this week we did group maps about island and directions.  Then we moved on and read 3 books about camp/camp experiences. Then we got to make camp bunk labels ( Mrs Lee help me, that´s why its so amazing ) Then we had to a piktochart about a native thing to New Zealand and add 10 or more facts about that. Last but not least BLOG! Just letting you know create task 1 was learning about reading maps about island and directions. Have you ever been on school camp, what did you enjoy. 

( 1st book #Danger man ) 

My first book was about how this kid named Josh sneaked out of his bunk room and found this huge lake. He then saw a flying fox that he decided to go on that soon broke, so he had to find a way to not fall into the lake. 

( 2nd book #School camp fun ) 

This book is about this little girl named Siobhan. She is going on a camp with her school. She explains how the parents help on camp. For an example, the parents helped set up the tents. Then what activity's they get to do. 

( 3rd book #Bush walk )

My last but not least book is about this school trip has to go for a bush walk but Mele wants to go a bit faster. Then all the sudden Ty has to tie his shoelaces back up. Mr B soon falls and bangs his head. They have to get a teacher but they do not want another person hurt.

Create task 2 ( Create a label with your name on it for your bunk room. ) 

I did a purple background with sparkles and lights, also with cursive letters. 

Create task 3 ( Create a piktochart with 10 or more facts about something native to New Zealand ) .

Kauri trees can live for 2,000 years ( That's way older than us ) .

Maori used kauri timber to build boats, carving and building houses.

Kauri trees have a die back (disease) . That disease is fungus.

Kokako, kiwi, kereru, fantail, tomtit, tui, grey warbler live by kauri tree.

There are also insects that live by kauri trees like kauri snail

People cut down the Kauri trees to build dams.

All together there were 3,000 dams built from kauri trees :(

Kauri trees are the longest living trees.

There are only around 7,500 hectares of kauri trees.
