Mapping the Migratory Flight of the Kuaka

LI: To use Google My Maps to show the migratory flight path of the Kuaka.

For this activity we needed to create a map that shows how long the kuaka birds fly for and where the kuaka birds migrate to.

Kuaka birds, also known as bar-tailed godwits, love to hang out near the water, especially in places like estuaries, mudflats, beaches, and coastal marshes, where they find lots of yummy food.

Every year, as winter approaches, the Kuaka fly north to the breeding grounds of Alaska, stopping off in Korea and Japan for a rest and some food on the way. On the return journey, as our summer approaches, they fly directly to New Zealand, a trip of endurance with no food, water, or rest; nearly 12,000 km non-stop.

 

 

Dot to Dot Connection

LI: To draw the lines between the words to show how the connections you have made.

As a group create a blog blurb that explains the information in our own words. If you collaborated say what this means and how this helped you combine your knowledge because we know what the definition of words that are simallar to flying and kuaka. Something our group found interesting was how good our teamwork was and how collaborate with eachother because we talked to eachother as a group and helped ones that were sturggling.

The Kokako

Our Year 7/8 camp was at Kokako Lodge in Hunua. Our challenge today was to use our smart searching skills to find out about the kokako bird and create an infographic to share the facts we researched in our own words.Something I found interesting about the kokako bird was that the bird was so small

LI: To use our smart searching skills

 

Pepeha

LI: To let others know who I am so they can make connections to me and my place in the world.

Our challenge today was to write and record our pepeha to introduce ourselves. I found this activity good because it’s about my ancestors, family and myself.
