Mapping the Migratory Flight of the Kuaka

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

Using google maps we put the location and places/countries the birds travel to. Kuaka travels so far which can mostly likely include that they could fly for 80 kliometres an hour and how they go to different places to migrate (Depending on the season.) It also looks for food resource marine worms, tiny shellfish and crabs because they like to eat them. From what I saw in pictures, their refuelling stops/spots are mostly wet land/sand. And an interesting fact I learnt about the Kuaka was that it migrates in not only in one place, but to many different places too!

The Kuaka

LI: To create an infographic that tells others about the migration of the kuaka
For this activity, we made a Kuaka Infographic/DLO in Google Draw and used all the information I could remember about the Kuaka! Something interesting I found out about the Kuaka was that they use their long bills to dig out of the sand as for a search of food resource like marine, worms, tiny shellfish and lastly crabs! (They dig them out because they mostly like to eat them!)

From this DLO I can see that the Kuaka is most likely to land on wet land instead of dry land after their migratory flight!

Dot to Dot Connections: The Kuaka

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


For this activity in Reading, we made a Dot to Dot Connection about the Kuaka bird (Also known as its scientific name it has been given, the Limmosa Lapponica.) We have used all the information we learnt and explain about the Kuaka with our own words, in order to put it in our Dot to Dot Connections.

As a group we communicate, collaborate and ask for help when neccesary! What I learnt from collaborating with my group and combining my knowledge with them, was to ask, questions and collaborate or else you wont be able to catch up with anyone else with your work.

The Tamaki River Walk

LI: To understand the concept of visual storytelling


For this activity, our class went for a walk to the Tamaki Awa/River with LS1 and other different classes to see and think what Samuel Marsden felt in the olden days! During the walk, our teacher took a picture of us to make a collage, as it is shown in the image right above in the slides but in time order!

Something I enjoyed in this activity was spending time with my friend during the walk, along when it was time to eat when we arrived to our destination!
