Changing Lands Topic
In term 2 we learned how different forces of nature change our landscapes. We used the Enquiry Learning Cycle where we decided on our questions, found information from websites and books, recorded that information by taking notes, used those notes to answer our questions, presented our answers with posters and evaluated how well we answered our questions and worked together.
Here are photos of us and our posters.

Tuatara Reports
Room 10 recently visited the Tairawhiti museum and created tuatara pictures using a variety of materials and textures. We then wrote a report which we attached to our art.
Tuataras are not lizards. They are reptiles from a family called Sphenodon. The name tuatara means spiny back in maori.
Tuatara look spiky but they have soft skin. Tuataras can camouflage which means they change colour with the background when they touch something. They look like lizards.
Tuataras live underground in burrows.You can only find Tuataras crawl and eat insects, bugs and even baby tuataras.By Miah

Tuataras are not lizards but they are reptiles. Tuatara means “spiny back” in Maori. All types of things kill Tuataras so scientists are trying to stop them from extinction.
It has lots of spikes. They are really random because their ear is under its skin. Also they have three eyes. The skin feels so wrinkly.
They live under the ground in burrows. It’s the master of camouflage. It goes hunting and when it bites it doesn’t let go for a very long time.
I Love Tuataras!!!
