Kauri dieback

Kauri Dieback

Kauri dieback can kill kauri of all ages. It's a disease caused by a
microscopic fungus-like organism, called (PA). It lives in the soil
and infects kauri roots, damaging the tissues that carry nutrients
and water within the tree, effectively starving it to death. There is
no cure for kauri dieback disease, and the disease kills most if not
all the kauri it infects.  Kauri dieback (PTA) are found in the soil
around affected kauri. Any movement of infected soil can spread
the disease. Human activity involving soil movement (on footwear,
machinery or equipment) is thought to be the greatest cause of
spread.

Reflection - I like how we had to discover what kauri dieback is.

Retelling of Ahipara

Retelling of Ahipara

Once there were two tribes they were Te Aopouri and Te Rarawa and they were always fighting about who owned 90-mile beach. But one day the chief Poroa made a big line across the beach Te Aupouri were on the north and Te Rarawa were on the south. Because of that Poroa got given a wife and her name was Whangatauatia. One day when he returned to his own pa he renamed it Whangatauatia in honour of his wife. Luckily the two tribes regained peace for many years but eventually, Poroa died. And his great mana, a tapu was put on the beach for a year. During the time a Rahui, a ban was put on all birds fish and shellfish. When the Tapu was lifted a great feast was held and was customary in those days. The first fish and shellfish caught were cooked. Over a special fire and prayers were said and the food was placed in a certain place as an offering and that’s how Ahipara got its name,

Ahi - Meaning fire

Para para - The roasted fish that was put aside as an othering. By Lola

Reflection - I liked how we had to retell the story of how Ahipara got it’s name.
