DAY 3 - Ngā manu - birds
What lives near our water?
Did you know that more species of seabirds breed in Aotearoa / NZ than anywhere else in the world! They are taonga (treasured) in Māori culture. They help to fertilise our soils and are an important part of the food chain. They nest in all sorts of places - from beside the sea, to wetlands, trees, and even high in the mountains. Today we will look at some of the birds that are out there.
FIRST watch this video - Young Ocean Explorers and Kaikoura tītī. Complete this short quiz to find out how far Huttons Shearwaters (Kaikora Titi) travel to get food.
NEXT complete the challenge.
THEN choose the level of work that suits you.
DAY 3 CHALLENGE / WERO
Go outside and see if you can find one piece of plastic rubbish each. Count the pieces of rubbish your class found, and ask your teacher to upload your tally to the Young Ocean Explorers website. Don't forget to put the rubbish in the bin.
