DAY 2: Forest Life DAY 2: Forest Life
Activity 1: Giants Among Us [4 points]
New Zealand has a really special environment. Many of the plants and trees found in New Zealand are not found anywhere else in the world. These plants and trees are endemic to our country. In New Zealand, one of the largest and longest living endemic trees is the NZ Kauri tree. Kauri are mainly found in three regions of New Zealand: the Coromandel, Auckland and Northland. The largest Kauri tree in the country is in the Waipoua Forest in Northland. It is called Tāne Mahuta. Some people refer to it as the ‘Lord of the Forest.’
Thousands of people go to visit Tāne Mahuta every year. Would you like to be one of those people who got to see Tāne Mahuta in real life? Why or why not?
On your blog, tell us whether you would like to go and visit Tāne Mahuta one day. Be sure to tell us why you do (or do not) want to visit this endemic tree.
I want to visit Tane Mahuta One day Because it has Fascinating trees and plants and I want to learn how these tree began growing and who discovered them.
Kia ora Kestrel,
ReplyDeleteYou have been doing a great job of the SLJ activities. Thank you for telling us why you would like to visit the Tane Mahuta tree. I also think that it would be an awesome place to visit. Can you imagine what it would look like from standing at the bottom?
Keep up the great blogging!
Talk soon,
Sophie
Well done Kestrel. It is good to see you blogging and learning from the Summer Learning Journey. I really hope that you will learn a lot about Tane Mahuta.
