Kowhai tree


The kowhai is one of the best known native trees in New Zealand and it’s our National flower.Kowhai grow from a seed in the ground to become a tree up to 25 metres high.Kowhai are known for their brilliant yellow colour that appear in profusion in spring and stand out.Kōwhai can be grown from seed or tip cuttings in spring and autumn. The hard, dark or bright yellow seeds germinate best after chitting and being soaked in water for several hours.They can also benefit from a several minute submersion in boiling water to soften the hard shell and then being kept in the same water, taken off boil, for several hours to soak up the water.The bright yellow flowers of the kowhai droop downward, resembling bananas in their shape. Kowhai flowers range grow as large as 2.2 inches in length,reports the Hebe Society.The kowhai is an evergreen tree, meaning it retains its leaves all year.Kowhai trees are native to New Zealand, but can be grown in temperate climates around the world.They are easy to grow from either saplings or seeds.Kowhai is the Maori word for yellow. The tree was so named for its bright yellow flowers.Native birds such as the tui, bellbird, kaka and New Zealand pigeon all benefit from kowhai trees.

facts about tigers


Recognizing a tiger at the zoo is easy. But in their natural habitat, tigers are really hard to find. That’s because their unique orange, black and white stripe pattern helps them blend into the forests and grassy areas where they live and hunt.

Tigers are carnivores. They are quiet, patient hunters with large powerful paws and teeth to help them catch and eat their prey. Some of their favorite meals include pigs, deer, rhinoceroses, and even small elephants.The tiger is the biggest species of the cat family.Tigers can easily jump over 5 metres in length.

Information report:parrots

Hi I am going to tell you about different kinds of parrots.

Kea’s are large,intelligent parrots that live in alpine areas of New zealand south island.They are the world's only alpine parrots and are known for their curious and sometimes cheeky behaviour near ski fields where they like to investigate bags, steal small items and damage cars.

This is a different parrot it is called Kakapos.

Kakapos are critically endangered flightless parrots, as of 2010 only around 130 are known to exist. They are active at night nocturnal and feed on a range of seeds, fruit, plants and pollen. Kakapos are also the world’s heaviest parrot.The ancient, flightless Kakapo is the world's rarest and strangest parrot. It the only flightless and nocturnal parrot, as well as being the heaviest parrot in the world, weighing up to 3.5 kilograms.The birds live in New Zealand, and island country which had virtually no mammals living on it for millions of year.The Kakapo did not learn the defense mechanisms to combat or escape mammals predators.This made the parrot very vulnerable when new animals started showing up.

New zealand is the home to some very unique parrots including the Kea, Kaka, and Kakapo.

Back yard have guards


Rats ran across
the grass underneath
the shed so they can hide.

Squirrels climb up
the tree into
the hole so
they can hide.

Dogs tied up
to their kennel
so no one can
rob the house.

Birds gliding in
the sky looking
for a place to land.

They all might be
different but they
still have the same job
to make sure no one
bracks in to the
House.

A tear

Today I shed a tear.

I shed a tear because someone stepped on my leg on college rifles field.
My coach told me to go off the field and have a rest.
After a while my leg didn't hurt no more.
Then when I got back on the field I was able to play again.
Today I shed a tear.

Ancient Egypt

When I was in egypt for the rest of my life.

One day I went to sleep and got transported to the desert on a camel then I got frightened. Next I went on the camel and rid it to egypt.

When I got there I got put into a slave and I had to work hard so I did. A few months later a pharaoh called budbud came to see me so I dressed up neatly. He said he wanted to take me somewhere else so I can work for him. so I said ok and he took me up to his place where he works and told me to be a scribe instead of a slave so I said okay.

I had to write stuff on the wall so people could read it.Some people did not know how to read the scribes writing.Did you know scribes were the only people to have knowledge like this.

when he was getting old He told me if he died I could be the next pharaoh. I made up my name it was called jordan.Suddenly he could not breath so I tried to help him but I could not help him so these people came in and put him into a coffin.And I became the next Pharaoh of egypt.

The moral of the story was being a slave and then getting put up into a pharaoh.

Tane learns through cartoons.

THIS IS ME



My name is Tane and I am a Maori.  I am a kiwi and live in New Zealand. I live with my 8 brothers, 4 sisters, dad, mum and 4 nephews.   I am the 4th to last oldest in my family. My favorite  colours  are blue because it is the colour of the sky and red because it looks cool. I like to eat at McDonald Burgers because the food here has a very nice taste.  I also like to eat at KFC because the chicken is a delicious meal to eat.

I want to get better at my maths because I am not very good at it. I want to learn more strategies. I also want to learn about motor mechanics because I want to learn how to fix a car when I am older.  When I have a car and it does not work properly I can make it work again. My friends are Pareata, Timothy, Kaufana , Moko, Etai and Tyreece.  They are fun to play with.
