Hikoi In The Ngahere

 Kia ora bloggers, Today I am posting  about our hikoi we went on Thursday-18/3/21. We went on this Hikoi to because we were researching about things in the Ngahere. We went on this hikoiI really enjoyed having a hikoi in the Ngahere because we got to see a lot of things in the native bush. I learned that (ferns) can live up to 20 years, I also learned that there are all types of ferns like silver fern, red fern, hen chicken fern, black tree fern and king fern’s.  That is how many types of ferns we could of saw today but I only saw the Black tree fern, Red fern and I also saw king fern, so in other words different types of ferns. Just so you know (hikoi) means (walk).

Have you been on a hikoi with your class before?

What I Know About Food Chains

Kia ora bloggers, In Te Ngahere we have recently been learning about food chains. Food chains is when energy is transferred from a living thing to another living thing. A series of organisms each depend on the next source of food. I found this really hard because it took me a while to find out where the arrows actually have to point. We had to use arrows to show what eats what. I found out that Tui eats berries off Kowhai trees. I also learned that stoats eat possums and rats. I think if I listened better next time I could finish my food web the first time because the first time I had the arrows pointing the wrong way but I finished it eventually. Three things that are different to my teachers food web. My arrows on my food web are different because my arrows are just plain black not colour coded and also my arrows are just straight. My pictures on my food web are set out more clearer then this one. I think my arrows are more easier to understand because having different colours are confusinging. But I understand why they need to be different colour, they have to be different colours because the red arrows are pointing from what the predators eat, the blue arrows are pointing from what the tui eats, the orange arrows are pointing from the food that the Kereru eats, the green arrows are pointing from the birds to the possum because the possum eats the birds and the purple arrows are pointing from all the birds and what the birds eat to the rat because the rat eats the birds and the rat also eats what the birds eat which is called berries. Have you ever learned about Food Webs?

The Essential Guide to Understanding Ecosystem.

Kia ora bloggers, in Te Ngahere we have recently been learning about ecosystems. We have been learning how the ecosystem works and how things depend on others to survive. My learning group and I learned 2 things about the ecosystem, the plant/producer will throw away what it does not need that will decompose and we also learned that an ecosystem is made up of animals, plants and bacteria as well as the physical and chemical environment they live in. I really enjoyed learning about this topic because I learned a lot of new things about it. What have you learned about the ecosystems before?
