Today for Inquiry, my class and I were learning about Earth Science. I did an activity, that was about Zealandia. Some scientists believe Zealandia, is the eighth continent. Gondwana was the biggest continent, then it fell apart. Countries spread apart from Gondwana, Australia and the Pacific helped New Zealand be put back into shape. 6% of Zealandia is land, the other 94% of Zealandia is underwater. Here is my activity!
Last week on Friday, the whole of Te Wairua Pakiki (TWP) Whanau did a made a presentation about plants. Dr. Jannie Van Hees came to watch us. We were all split up into different groups of trees. Some of us were presenting about the Native Trees in New Zealand, and some of us were presenting about the Pacific Plants. We all could choose what we wanted to do. My group chose to do a movie. First the Native Tree people had to present. In my group it was Sione, Dereon, Arvay & David. Our presentation was about the Rimu Tree. The other native trees were the Kauri Tree, Ti Kouka, Puriri Tree, Kawakawa Tree, Manuka and Kanuka, Totara & Rimu. The Pacific plants that were presented were the Heilala, Ngatae, Hiapo, Kava & Coconut. Dr. Jannie was gifted a Heilala Garland, by Ana in the Heilala group.
My favourite native tree presentation was the Totara Tree, because I liked their rap.
My favourite pacific tree presentation was the Ngatae Tree, because they had a cool rap.
Here are some photos!
