What I learnt from Eunice’s world
Eunice’s World
What was in Eunice’s World: Eunice’s world was a Kaitiakitanga Game. There were questions and aquariums, and even a gift shop! I really enjoyed it.
What I learned from Eunice’s World:
1. Not to stomp on turtle eggs.
2. To ride on electric trains instead of fossil-fuelled ones.
3. Not to overfish.
My favourite thing in Eunice’s World: My favourite thing was definitely the gift shop. There were so many cool gifts! I really wanted to get something from it, but we had to leave them alone for other people. There were cool shells, amazing gemstones, and more! There was even a cake!
Eunice’s Rating:
Out of ten, I give Eunice:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I gave Eunice 9 stars because her world was awesome, but I wasn’t allowed to take things and eat the cake.

This is a photo of my Amazing Underwater Experience. It shows people the beauty of the Sea, therefore encouraging them to stop littering in the Ocean and start protecting marine life. I am proud of it because it is really beautiful.
This is a photo of my bee enclosure. It shows how bees pollinate flowers and help them to grow and reproduce. It makes me proud because it was hard to make.
This is a photo of my turtle enclosure. There are a mother and a father turtle there. There are also some turtle eggs, that will soon hatch into a baby turtle. It shows the turtle life cycle. It makes me proud because I really like turtles.
Concrete Poems
Concrete Poems
The first step to make a Concrete Poem is to draw an outline of the topic you have chosen(best to draw in pencil). Next you write in the shape your poem. It does not have to rhyme, but it can. (Optional: erase the outline of your topic.) Here is my example:

It was easy to make the bee enclosure. All I had to do was make a tree and grow some flowers on the ground.
It was hard to make the Cherry Blossom forest since I had to grow the trees, and it took SO LONG. In the end I had to increase the random tick speed to 100, and that worked really well.
My next step is to make a Kaitiakitanga Questionnaire to teach people to be a Kaitiaki.
Minecraft Reflection: Week 4-5
Minecraft Reflection
Some of the things I’ve done so far:
Things that have been hard: It was hard finding animals that are in New Zealand, and I had to change a few enclosures. The hardest enclosure to make was probably the tropical fish aquarium since I had to cover the whole ground with sand, and that was annoying.
Things that have been easy: It was really easy to make the Zoo ‘building’, because all I had to do for it was make a roof and some glass walls for the enclosures. The easiest enclosure to build was definitely the frog enclosure since all I had to do was dig a small hole, pour water in it, put some lily pads on top, and add some mangrove roots.
My next steps: I’m going to make a Cherry Blossom Forest and add bees in it to make honey so people can get some free honey.
Kaitiakitanga
Kaitiakitanga
What it is:
Kaitiakitanga means “Guardians of the Earth”. Māori people believe that there is a deep kinship between humans and nature. They believe that we should take care of our environment. One reason is that trees produce oxygen to breathe. Another is that we need to keep water clean and safe so we can stay hydrated. Those are some reasons why, so take care!
How to show Kaitiakitanga:
1: Use and dispose of harmful materials properly. 2: Don’t dump waste in rivers, lakes, and oceans. 3: Don’t overuse fertilisers.
4: Join a beach, stream, or wetland cleanup team. 5: Don’t litter, especially these items: Motor oil, Pesticides, Leftover paints or paint cans, Mothballs, Flea collars, Household cleaners, and a number of medicines.

Extreme Weather
What could be some factors that can cause extreme weather?
Global Warming could melt glaciers and rise the sea level, then all the extra water could evaporate and form rain clouds. The rain clouds would rain and rain then cause a flood.
Could you relate it to the Water Cycle?
A flood could be related to the Water Cycle by when the water is evaporated and formed into a rain cloud, then when the cloud lets out rain.
