fun facts about black footed ferrets

Only 18 black-footed ferrets existed in 1987, making it one of the most endangered animals in the world. In 1987 there were only 18 black footed ferrets left. Captive breeding was successful and produced enough young kits that they could be placed into other zoos for breeding and reintroductions back into the wild.

The ferrets are key indicators of healthy ecosystems as they help manage prairie dog populations. The ferrets themselves are a food source for larger predators like owls, coyote and badgers. They are important members of the ecosystem both as predators and prey on the prairie. ... Black-Footed Ferret Fact Sheet.

Matariki Legends

According to one legend.

The sun was seriously wounded and tired of being pulled by the ropes. He felt miserable and hid away in his cave for several days. The days grew colder and colder and winter was born. Plants could not grow and people were sick of the cold. Maui felt guilty because people were raged and wanted the sun to rise back. Matariki was a cousin of the Sun. Matariki  decided to go and bring the Sun back. So Matariki and her seven sisters went to go and meet up with the Sun. They sang a mysterious soothing healing song until the Sun was brightened and warm again. Sun felt better and soon got healed. He came out of his cave and gave this world warmth and light. This is how the Matariki Stars brought the sun back. So every April when the seven sisters disappear from the sky we know they have gone to rescue the Sun. They would be back early June and bring the warmth of the sun to the Earth.

AKO Evening

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.
