Ako afrernoon

On Ako afternoon we shared
what we have been learning about in
Room 6 during term 2. We explained
it to other classrooms at Tamaki Primary
School. Ako afternoon is about sharing the
work you have been doing, with others.
Classrooms shared literacy, inquiry, reading,
writing and maths. Room 6 shared lots of
things. We shared the puppets we made for
retelling stories. We shared our inquiry
posters on New Zealand History.
We also shared a mural that we did for art,
to retell Maui’s legends. My favourite part
about Ako Afternoon was getting tokens
from the other classrooms for all our
good work.

Clay pots

Clay pots are hard to make but they are
better for the environment and instead
of using plastic pots we should use clay pots.

Clay pots can be easily decomposed.
Clay pot can be used
for many things like cooking and growing
plants. 

Plastic pot in the ground will take upto
500 years to decompose into the Earth. Clay
pots are cheap to buy but are better because they

they are environment friendly.

deserts

Most large deserts are found away from the coasts around the world. Hot deserts are made from sand and dust. Camels are like a bus in the deserts but can only live for 1 month without food or water Because they store fat and water in their humps, also Camels are specially adapted to the life in the desert. The largest deserts in North America are the Chihuahua, in Mexico and southern USA, and the Great Basin, in western USA. The deserts of the southern hemisphere, which is the bottom of half of Earth, including the Atacama and Patagonia, in South America, the Namib and Kalahari, in Africa, and the Great Sandy and in Australia. Deserts are extremely hot Because of a lack of water, When the sun shines on the sand, all of the absorbed sunlight makes the  raising the ground's temperature even higher. Deserts are cold at night because of the lack of water in the ground, and very little water vapor in the air that's why most deserts are quite cool at night.

Rainforest

A Rainforest can be described as a tall, dense jungle.
The reason it is called a "rain" forest is
because of the high amount of rainfall
it gets per year. 

Wildlife in these forests must adapt
to the wet humid conditions. Animals
you can find in a rainforest. Jaguar, spider
monkey, Poison dart frog ,Ocelot, Eunectes,
  Green anaconda. 

Some of the rainforests around the world

are: Amazon rainforest, Congolese rainforest
, Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve, 

Sinharaja Forest Reserve rainforests,
Pacifiemperate 

Rainforests and Valdivian temperate
rainforests. 

A rain forest is very dense  There is a high
canopy of foliage, a middle layer of thick wet
leaves and dense undergrowth. There are
lots of hanging vines and plants that grow on
the trunks of others - these are called
epiphytes.

  You can find rainforest around the Equator.

This equatorial belt is important for out
planet because it helps to purify the air
we breathe.

Rainforests are are subject to heavy
rainfall at least 80 inches 2,000 mm  and
in some areas over 430 inches 10,920 mm
of rain each year. In equatorial regions, rainfall
may be year round without apparent wet or
dry seasons, although many forests do have
seasonal rains.
