Activity 1: Predator Free 2050 – A Call to Arms [4 points] (To see the questions go on the summer learning journey site).
I have chosen the Cacophony Project because...
I believe that Grant Ryan is a inventor so i think that he is actually really smart and he would be perfect for the job. He's also trying to spread the word and show others what they can do. And he first created a plan and tried his plan in his backyard and if it works he could go into the wildlife.
Activity 2: Protecting the Most Vulnerable - Fact or Fiction? [4 points]
1. Māui and Hector's are the only dolphins with a well-rounded black dorsal fin
2. Māui dolphin can 'see' with sound
3. They produce just one calf every 2 - 4 years, making population increase a really slow processTrue or false? I will put 4 facts down below 1 is true and 3 are false. Comment down below which is true and which is false.
- Females have their first calf (baby) around the age from 7 - 9 years of age.
- Females grow to 1.5 m long and weigh up to 26 kg.
- They only live up to 30 years.
- Maui dolphins die from rats.
Activity 3: The Power of Ten [10 points]
I could only think of 5 sorry
1. Elephants - They've been living on earth for centuries/years
2. Maui dolphins - Their are only 63 Maui dolphins left on earth
3. Amur Leopard - Their are only 70 that exists today it is also hunted and killed for it's fur
4. Tiger - Tigers have been hunted distinctive patterned fur
5. Rhino - Three of 5 species of Rhino's are alive

Hey Luseane,Its Araura from Wesley Primary School and i really like your decision on what animals you would save,I didn't know that some of them were about to go extinct.Maybe on the second activity you could make the writing bigger.I liked how you added this all in one post...Maybe you could have added more pictures.

Talofa Luseane,
ReplyDeleteYou have selected which of the videos you liked and told us why. I agree that he is a smart person, he is trying hard to help develop technology that could help Aotearoa become predator free in the future. Do you think what he is doing will work?
I can see that you have learned a lot about the Māui Dolphin, you have posted three facts about this endangered creature, ka pai. I think I have guessed which of the statements is the false one... Until rats have the ability to live in the open sea I'm going to say that the following statement 'Māui Dolphins die from rats', is false!
I like that you have selected animals that are endangered to protect in your list and included a reason for each. A reminder that this activity is asking for a list of ten, so please edit your post to include five more animals or plants to your list. I will be happy to award full points for this activity once you have done this.
I would definitely have the Kakapo on my list, they are a national treasure and the only flightless parrot in the world! Do you know any other endangered native animals?
Keep persevering and working hard. :)
Toe feiloa'i fo'i,
Cia.
Hi Luseane,
ReplyDeleteWell done on finishing these Summer Learning Journey activities. I also think that Grant Ryan came up with a good idea. With his invention, hopefully New Zealand will be predator free by 2050. Also your facts about Maui's dolphin are great. Keep up the good work.
