Inquiry: How can we help you Nga Manu

We can help our native birds by making traps to catch the pests and predators that kill our native birds and destroy their habitat.

As part of our inquiry we got to make some traps. They are bait traps.  They are rat traps. The rat eats the poison in the trap and dies. Kayden, Riley, Henry and Antonia made a 'spin top' trap. Latai, Ollie, Emile, Corban, and Byron made a 'lift off' trap. The rat is a predator, it eats the birds eggs. It is a pest.

Here is our mixed media art. We used, sponged, painted, cut, dyed and ripped paper. We also used pastels and one white feather to create our pukekos.

God created the World

WALA:  God and to Recognise that God created everything in the World out of nothing.

In class we created our own class mural showing how God created the world in seven days.   We think our creation is just as beautiful as the one in this you tube clip! What do you think Mums and Dads.
