Marae Noho

                                                   
At the Marae I learnt how to weave a flax flower which is called a putiputi. What I found interesting was getting to sleep at night because people were being noisy. I enjoyed making new friends and playing hide and seek.

Term 4 Inquiry - Technology

My animal is the Little Spotted Kiwi.

What does my animal need in its enclosure?

Rocks, dead little trees, a little pond, a stream, dirt, leaves, sticks, woodchip and flax.

What features did I add just for my animal and how are they helpful?

Little dead branches so the kiwi could have a piece of medium soft stuff. The stick and leaves made some nice shade for the kiwi.

Did I make any changes and why did I decide to do that?

I put the dirt all around the enclosure so the kiwi could have nice soft places to sit.

Orangutans Report

Orangutans are one of our closest relatives. Their Latin name is pongo.

HABITAT

Orang-utans live in south Sumatra and Borneo. They live in the tops of trees and nests.

DESCRIPTION

Orangutans make a noise like a cicada or else an “ooh ah, ooh ah.” They have thin orangey-brown fur. The males form flanged cheek pads when they are 10-15 years old. Their arms are twice as big as their legs.

DIET

Orangutans eat a variety of food plus it is an omnivore. They eat fruit, bark, honey, insects and birds eggs. They may eat leaves as well as fruit.

DYNAMICS

Orangutans are very clever and use rocks and sticks as tools. Their predators are tigers and clouded leopards. An orangutan makes it’s bed every day and makes sure it is tidy.

Orangutans need our help! Their habitat is being destroyed and they are dying out quickly. By giving money to foundations and planting more trees in their habitat we can help save them.
