Inquiry

Over the last ten weeks we have been learning about 
New Zealand Native Birds. 

Our big idea is Sustainability.

We asked lots of questions.....

What are birds?

Where do they live?

What do birds look like?

What do birds eat?

The most important question was- 
What can we do to help our New Zealand birds?


 We worked in our buzz groups, brainstorming and reading books.








Then we started to learn how to write a Report.

A report tells about things. It tells what a thing is, what it looks like, where it is found and what it can do.

Here are some reports we wrote about the Kiwi and Kereru.


Kiwis

Kiwis are birds that we know.
They have brown feathers.
They can not fly.
I like Kiwis. By Riley



Kiwis are birds.
They can not fly.
They eat worms. By Lennon


Kiwis are nocturnal.
They come out at night.
They live in the forest.
Kiwis are special.  By Sophie

Kiwis can't fly.
Kiwis have long beaks.  By Charlie


Kiwis are living things.
They eat worms.  By Anna

Kereru

A Kereru is a pigeon.
It has a red beak.    By Logan

A Kereru is a bird.
They have short orange beaks
and green and white feathers.
They live in the forest.    By Mac 


We found out hundreds of Kereru are killed or injured when they fly into windows. So are lots of other birds.


We have found a way to help.
We made snowflakes to put on our windows so the birds will see them and won't have crashes.





Riley gave a snowflake to Mr Smith to put on the window in his office. 








We think we are very clever. 

What do you think?

Congratulations Mac




I got a trophy at rugby.
It was for  the Player of the Day
I felt happy.
