Rainbows End

Rainbows End the fun days of Y8s

We’re all excited

Nothing can stop me going at the Gate

We enjoyed all the rides

And on the big Roller Coaster’s that I almost cried

But we thank all the adults for guiding us

In Spanish this term I have been learning to name the items in my pencil case and classroom.

En mi estuche tengo … – In my pencil case I have …

No tengo – I don’t have

I understand that nouns in Spanish have a gender – they are masculine or feminine, and have definite and indefinite articles.

Masculine nouns 

Definite article – el y los (the)

eg el bolígrafo (the pen) los bolígrafos (the pens)

Indefinite article – un y unos (a and some)

Un bolígrafo (a pen) unos bolígrafos (some rulers)

Feminine nouns

Definite article – la y las (the)

La regla (the ruler) las reglas (the rulers)

Indefinite article  – una y unas (a and some)

Una regla – (a ruler)  unas reglas (some rulers).

So we start to practice week to week and everyday and even if we get scolded sometimes, we just obey,We continue to do this even though we are a bit wounded and it is difficult because we want to reach what we want, we do not complain no matter how hard it is and because we know we can reach this.

Tōtara Park Vs Botanic Gardens

Totāra; last week Tuesday, we went to Tōtara park and we walk through with happines,And that’s the reason too why we’re too peaceful after we walk through on Tōtara,Because we saw beautiful scenery in a beautiful place and clean environment.(Kaitiakitanga)Preservation of Native Ecosystems: Tōtara Park typically focuses on preserving and restoring native ecosystems. By maintaining local flora and fauna, it upholds the kaitiakitanga principle of nurturing and protecting the natural environment.

“Kaitiakitanga”(Tōtara)

1. Cultural Heritage: Tōtara Park may have cultural significance for Māori communities, especially if it contains or is near sites of historical or spiritual importance. By respecting and preserving these areas, the park supports the Māori tradition of caring for land that holds ancestral value.
2. Sustainable Management: The management practices of Tōtara Park can reflect kaitiakitanga by implementing sustainable methods to manage and protect the land, such as controlling invasive species and promoting biodiversity.

Tōtara Park and the Botanic Garden are both types of green spaces, but they have different focuses and characteristics.

“How are they Similar?”
Natural Environments: Both Tōtara Park and Botanic Gardens are designed to offer natural and peaceful environments where people can enjoy nature.

Recreational Use: Both spaces typically offer opportunities for recreational activities such as walking, picnicking, and relaxing. They provide areas for people to unwind and connect with nature.

Flora: Each place features a variety of plants. While a Botanic Garden is more focused on showcasing a wide range of plant species, including exotic and rare ones, Tōtara Park will also have a variety of local flora.

Community Spaces: Both are community-oriented spaces that serve as venues for local events, gatherings, and educational activities.

Conservation: Both types of parks can play a role in conservation, though the Botanic Garden might focus more on preserving rare and endangered plant species, while Tōtara Park might focus on preserving local ecosystems.

VS

Botanic Gardens; Last Tuesday we walk through Botanic Gardens with beautiful morning and Beautiful surroundings,They are the same as Totāra with Cleanliness as well,In my opinion they have different animals and species,Like (Podocarpustotara) from Tōtara and NZ Christmas Tree (Metrosideros excelsa) from Botanic Garden.How do they both connect to Kaitiakitanga? They both connect to Kaitiakitanga because Kaitiakitanga is about land,sea and sky and about its environment,

”Kaitiakitanga”(Botanic Gardens)

Conservation of Plant Diversity: Botanic Gardens often play a crucial role in conserving a wide range of plant species, including those that are endangered or have cultural significance. This aligns with kaitiakitanga by protecting plant life for future generations.

Educational Role: By educating the public about plant conservation, ecological relationships, and sustainable practices, Botanic Gardens foster a deeper appreciation for nature. This educational effort supports kaitiakitanga by promoting informed stewardship of the environment.

Cultural and Historical Significance: Some Botanic Gardens include plant species that are significant to Māori culture, such as traditional medicinal plants or those used in cultural practices. By preserving and showcasing these plants, Botanic Gardens help maintain and honor Māori heritage, aligning with kaitiakitanga.

”Different” (Botanic Gardens)

Botanical Gardens:

1. Purpose: Botanical gardens are typically focused on the collection, cultivation, and display of a wide variety of plants, including rare and exotic species. They often serve educational, research, and conservation purposes.
2. Features: Botanical gardens usually feature well-maintained plant collections, themed gardens, greenhouses, and sometimes research facilities. They might have plants arranged by type, region, or purpose (e.g., medicinal plants).
3. Design: These gardens are often designed with a focus on showcasing plant diversity and may include educational signage, guided tours, and specialized exhibits.
4. Activities: Visitors might engage in educational programs, plant sales, or special events focused on gardening and plant science.
