🏕 camp explanation text 🏕

 Why all kids should go to a school camp.

So all kids should go to a school camp where they can learn new skills and make new friendships and to build more confidence in each other. And join in different groups that you can interact with.     

Whanaungatanga 

Whanaungatanga is when you can make new friendship or you can build more confidence with each other or you can join and interact with each other in a group so while you are at camp when you see some lonely you can go and make friendship or you can help them with their stuff like unpacking there thing in the room or you can help them clean up in the dining room. And you can learn other people's language and their culture. And the meaning of whanaungatanga is that you can encourage each other to do new things.     

Learning new skills

So learning a new skill is what you haven’t done for the first time so the things that you will see is that there is kayaking,paddle board,orientering,beach walk and more but you can do things that are independent.

Break from internet 

So the break from the internet is when you can get away from you school work and away from your social media. And get to find the meaning of getting a away from your phone and having fun with you school friends and your teacher.

Summary of ideas: 

Paragraph one -  organisms/living things came out of the water. Life emerged from the ocean nearly 3 and a half billion years ago.The Earth was covered in plants (vegetation). Different species of animals/organisms evolved over millions of years in different habitats. 

Paragraph two - Animals that are predators have less babies, less often, (E.g. humans mostly have one baby at a time) because they will survive. Animals that are prey, have more babies/eggs, more often, because their babies/eggs will get eaten by predators. For example, glow worms lay eggs in batches of  30. When the first egg hatches, that worm eats its siblings as its first food source.

Paragraph three - Animals live in ecosystems, which is like a web or team where all the organisms rely on each other to survive. Some animals eat each other  (predator and prey), some trees are homes for animals, some fungi rot the leaves that fall from trees and feed nutrients back into the ground.

Paragraph four - Humans are destroying the planet through pollution, cutting down trees (deforestation) and putting bad gases into the air. We will have lots of animals/species either by killing them or destroying their habitats. Scientists predict that within 30 years, ⅕ of all species on Earth will be extinct.

Paragraph five/six  - In a rush to improve our own lives, humans have damaged the planet forever. Species that go extinct can never be brought back to life.
