Kuaka/Godwit Sketchnote

I have created a Google Drawing to show my learning of Godwits. I added a map of their habitat as well as a photo of the location, their appearance, their pull and push factors and interesting facts about migration. I also wrote a paragraph about Tahuna Torea which is the name of their main habitat in Panmure, Auckland, New Zealand. 

Bar Tailed Godwit/Kuaka Popplet

For Inquiry this week our topic was with the Bar Tailed Godwit/Kuaka. We explored the Godwit's appearance, diet, habitat and appearance through finding useful information with our smart searching skills. I then worked collaboratively with Zeba to create this Popplet. We also added images of the Godwit, it's predators and their natural habitat.

Birds

What is a Bird?

Birds have different types of feathers, lay eggs, have clawed feet and are even warm blooded. All birds have strong wings but only some can fly. For example a penguin, it has wings but cannot fly at all. This is because its wings are too small. Birds also have two legs and clawed toes. They all lay eggs in nests that they build and their eggs come in different sizes and sometimes in different colours. Some birds can sing. They usually sing in dawn. Birds have beaks to help them eat. They eat worms and some even eat meat like fish. Some birds live in the sea and some even are kept as pets. They are harmless and do not have any teeth. Some birds do not get wet when they swim in water. This is because their wings and feathers have a special kind of oil that keeps them dry. Some birds even have webbed feet to help them swim.
