Tekatiti's Poem

Tekatiti's Ocean Poem

Voice to the Pacific Ocean.
Observe plastic and sharks fins.
Your ocean is your pride that you take care of.
A bleached coral is bad for the Pacific Ocean.
Group of the 7 ships that sailed. The fleet.
Exciting trips on the water.

Mitchell H's Poem

Acrostic poem by MitchellH
Voice of the ocean.
On training sails, we observed rubbish floating in the oceans.
Years ago voyaging canoes had been exploring the Pacific.
Able to go around rubbish and see sharks without fins.
Great ships sails around rubbish and sharks with no fins.

Everyone should respect the Pacific.

Amelia's Inquiry

The Forest Gull An Information Report By Amelia Introduction It was cold and foggy in the early morning of the forest in New Zealand, while birds of all kinds fly around you. Some are big and some are small. They spread their wings and open their mouths catching worms, fish, and even other birds. If you go to a forest maybe you will see a forest gull. Description The Forest Gull is a medium sized bird that flys around rivers and forests. They have big beaks that are curved at the end for swooping down and catching fish in their beaks. They have webbed feet for swimming in the water where they can cool off, and wait for fish. Their feet are flat for walking on the ground. They have three small claws at the end of their long three toes, and at the back of their feet they have a tiny tiny toe and claw. Their claws are for catching fish and so are their sharp curved beaks. They are light green with white bellies. They are those colours so it can hide in trees and then swoop down to get food. They can be about 20 - 50 cm long which is the size of Habitat The Forest Gull lives in forests all over New Zealand. The Forest Gull’s colours are related to its habitat. They live near rivers but also in trees. You normally find the Forest Gull in trees like oak trees. They like trees that aren’t to short or wide but are in the middle. They are very common in forests though so you might see a Forest Gull one day. Predators and Threats The Forest Gull’s main predator are eagles. There are also other predators and threats to the Forest Gull and one of them is humans. We are threats to birds because we leave our rubbish around the place polluting out their homes and we are also cutting down forest trees and destroying the homes of these innocent birds. Conclusion From these facts it is clear that the Forest Gull is a common bird and is about the size of any regular gull, so you could see one and easily think it is a normal regular everyday bird that you see or you can point it out to your family or friends that you know that bird. It is a Forest Gull!
