Swimming with the sharks - Activity one WLJ

Activity one:

How did the people try to save the whales?

There are about 300 whales lying in sand at the Farewell spit and neary some of them were dead. Everyone came into help and they stayed at the beach for nearly a whole night. All they could do was pore water on the whales and wait for the tide to come in. They split the people equally so the whales get the same amount of people as the rest for treatment.

Something that was so sad about this was the whales dying but not only that, people helping the whales for nearly a whole night because I knew that they would of gotten really tired and they would of been really sleepy walking back and forth getting water for the whales.

But I think it would of been a pleasure for those people that helped our whales back into the water!

Here is some information about it and some videos that are there too:

Wild eyes - Activity one WLJ

Activity one:
What kind of bird would I adopt?
A Great spotted kiwi!

What would I name it?
I would name my kiwi Roa or Roaroa because it means Great spotted kiwi in maori!

A little bit about them...
If I could adopt a bird I would adopt a great spotted kiwi because they look really cute and they can find there own food so you don't need to spend money on them. I would also like to adopt a great spotted kiwi because they are very different them other kiwi's because the female great spotted kiwi's have 2 ovaries and most kiwi's have 1.

What do they eat?
Great spotted kiwi's normally eat things like earthworms, larvae or cicadas. They also eat centipedes, spiders, beetles, weta's, snails etc. 

Where do they normally live?
Great spotted kiwi's normally live in the Northern half of the South island. They can also be found in Greymouth, Arthur's pass or North Canterbury.
