THE BEGINNING.
Welcome to Room2's New Blog. This will be a work in progress as the class begins to learn how to blog and share their work and experiences with their Whanau and "Safe Global" audience. This site will have many changes and 'learning experiences' as we travel through the next couple of terms. We hope it will be
* an extension of our classroom
* a place the class will visit in later years to remember their time in Room 2
* FUN.
Please pop in and make comments. We would love to hear from YOU
HERE WE GO!
Endangered NZ Bird Project.
Hi!
I'm Maggie.
In class this term we have been learning about endangered NZ birds.We did a brainstorm on the board and came up with some questions.
*How did these birds become endangered?
*What are their predators?
*When did they become endangered?
*How can we save our endangered birds?
I went on the internet and found some more endangered birds.
Here are 8 more that I found.
*Black robin(254)
*Orange-fronted-parakeet(100-200)
*Storm petrel(206)
*Chatham Island taiko(150)
*Campbell Island teal(153)
*Chatham Island shags(unknown)
*Island mollymawk(50)
Did you know that there is only 23 Black stilt birds left?
It is very important we look after the environment so that we can help these birds as well as many other ones.Some birds you can help may not even be in NZ.
Look after the environment whenever you can,
Check in to our blog again soon,
Thank you,
Maggie.
Casey's Endangered New Zealand Bird Information.
We have been learning about endangered birds. Our teacher Miss Bonsor got us to
each to make a bird poster about one native bird in particular. I chose the Kiwi to
find out information and make a poster about about the Kiwi.
- What a Kiwi feeds on: Kiwi eat earthworms insects and berries.
- Kiwis eggs are about the size of six hens.
- Kiwis have very week chests because their bones are very small and easy to smash.
- Dogs are a major threat to Kiwis and even to pick it up with their mouths can kill a Kiwi.
- In 1987 over 500 Kiwis were killed by a wild german Shepherd in a Northland forest.
- The Kiwi is a curious bird it can not fly, has loose hair like feathers and long whiskers.
- The Kiwi is largely nocturnal, it burrows in the ground,It is the only bird to be nocturnal that has nostrils at the end of its very bill and literally sniffs out food witch includes soil invertabrates and fruit.
- Now days scientists are working to protect Kiwis and use muzzled dogs to sniff the birds out for study.
- It makes it easy to find food to eat because they can smell things easier with their nostrils at the end of their beak and hear their food.
Now I'm off to find out what the Kiwis preditor is, look out for my next post.
