The Most Insane Learning About Food Webs

 In Te Ngahere he have been learning about how food webs. We had to make a copy of this google drawing. Food webs are a chain to show what animal eats what and where the energy transfers to and from.

The arrows point form the animal to the predator because the predator gets the energy from the animal and while the predator is eating it the energy flows and transfers through its body. I enjoyed learning about food webs because I got to learn what the birds in our ngahere eat and get eaten by. I learnt that stoats eat rats and possums. Once I finished my food web I had to compare mine to theirs to see what is different about each others. 

The difference about theirs is that they have more arrows, it is in different coloured coordinated so that people know where the energy transfers to and from last but not least  The things that is different about mine is that mine has two boxes explaining what happens to the kereru if it eats to many kowhai, my arrows are just black and my arrows were just straight, theirs was diagonal, straight ect(ect means extra).

Have you learnt about food web before?

Incredible Learning About Ecosystems

 In Te Ngahere we have been learning about ecosystems and how they work. I made a google  drawing to explain the cycle of an ecosystem.

 What I learnt is that if something from one of the cycles went missing then the cycle would not work and most things will die. 

 All of this is new learning but when I got the hang of it, it was pretty easy.  I enjoyed learning about ecosystems. What I enjoyed the most was learning new things. What I improved on ecosystems was understanding the cycle of an ecosystem. 

What do you know about ecosystems?

Poetry

 In Te Maunga we have been doing poetry. We had to identify language features used by authors to make writing more descriptive. In the texts that we had, we had to find alliteration, similes, metaphors, adjectives and adverbs. The one I learnt about the most was metaphors because I didn’t really understand what metaphors meant until now. A metaphor is comparing two different things without using like or as.
