Moko Ika Hikuwaru

Moko Ika Hikuwaru is a taniwha with 8 tails. We used our imagination to try and draw what we thought the taniwha would look like. We thought it would be green, have 4 eyes, razor sharp teeth and 4 legs. We imagined him inside a lake infront of mountains and a sunrise with a bridge. We needed to draw this freehanded without tracing and use our imagination.

I found this activity fun because I got to try new drawing techniques and freehand.

Kauri Dieback

LI: To gather statistics and protect the Kauri Tree from getting the Kauri Disease.

The following week after camp we did a research about the Kauri Dieback. Then we created a DLO about the Kauri Disease on how we can prevent it from destroying our nature. Though we can do things such as cleaning our shoues before and after walks to stop the disease from killing our tree. 

I found this activity interesting because I learnt about the Kauri dieback and how it can effect our Kauri trees and kill them.
