The Kokako Bird

LI: To use our smart searching skills 

Our Year 7/8 camp was at Kokako Lodge in Hunua. Our challenge today was to use our smart searching skills to find out about the kokako bird and create an infographic to share the facts we researched in our own words.

Something I found interesting about the kokako bird was it is endangered and is spreaded around New Zealand.

Kauri Dieback

LI: To understand what Kauri dieback is and how it spreads

Our challenge today was to use the links provided and our own smart searching skills to find out what Kauri dieback is and what we need to do to try and prevent this from spreading. We need to know about this so that we do our part to keep our Kauri safe when we go on hike at camp.

I worked with my group to find out what is kauri Dieback and how can it affect the kauri trees. We found it interesting that the kauri dieback diease can spread from a 50 meters distance.
