Native birds and tree

In Te Ngahere we have been learning about trees, birds and plants for inquiry. I chose to research the manuka tree and kakapo. I think I did a good  job by adding information for the kakapo. When I made a presentation about the manuka tree it had lots of interesting information.

Here are my presentation's.

Healthy ecosystem

In Te Ngahere we have been learning about ecosystems. First we study about how it works and what it is and we wrote a story about ecosystems, I think I did good at writing what it needs and how it works, I think, I could get better at adding more information in my ideas. Here is my story.

Healthy Ecosystems

A healthy ecosystem is made up of inorganic matter (non-living) and organic matter (living). Producers, consumers and decomposers are all living things.

Inorganic matter are things like: rocks, sand, water and the sun. Organic and inorganic both have an important role in a healthy ecosystem.

Decomposers are living things such as bacteria, algae and fungus  they are living and decomposers break down dead matter.

Producers are also living things such kelp, seaweed and neptune necklaces because they live by sunlight, water and co2 (carbon dioxide) they make their own energy.

Consumers are living things such as fish, kina, sharks, crayfish and they are things that eat consumers they also eat producers and each other.

Inorganic matter are things like sand, rocks, water, sunlight and some shells, inorganic matter can provide a ecosystem for some animals.

If one of these parts are missing then the ecosystem becomes unhealthy. So if there are no kelp that absorb the sunlight then the kina is going to be hungry and so will the others.
