The Forest Layers By Oliver

                                    

Wednesday 19th March. 

There are many layers called the forest floor, Understory and Canopy. The forest floor has got  bugs, dead animals and leaves all rotting into soil. The Understory is where the kid trees are and where the squirrels fly. The Canopy is where the tallest trees are and they get the most sun light , rain and wind.

Wednesday 19th March.

There are three layers in a forest. THERE is  the canopy and the understory and the forest floor.  It also has bugs and Animals composting. 

 The canopy is the top layer of the forest the trees over there get the most sunlight and rain. 

The understory is where the baby trees grow. 

The forest  floor is where the frogs hop. Lots of things compost there and make soil.

Arataki

When I was scared By Grace

When I was scared at butterfly creek.

At butterflycreek I went into a room.

First I saw a big, big spider and I was afraid.

Next I saw more real alive spiders.

After the spiders I went to see the beetles.  There were 100's of them!

Finally we saw the cockroaches and then we got lunch.

I felt happy because we had a good time in the end.

Corpse Flower By Naomi

The corpse flower is very, very, very stinky. I just missed it blooming. I went to see the corpse flower                                                                  with  Zephyr and my little brother Johann . The  corpse flower only blooms for two nights and one day. I felt disgusted. 
We read about the corpse flower in the book   about stink.
