DAY 2: Forest Life
Activity 1: Giants Among Us [4 points]
New Zealand has a really special environment. Many of the plants and trees found in New Zealand are not found anywhere else in the world. These plants and trees are endemic to our country. In New Zealand, one of the largest and longest living endemic trees is the NZ Kauri tree. Kauri are mainly found in three regions of New Zealand: the Coromandel, Auckland and Northland. The largest Kauri tree in the country is in the Waipoua Forest in Northland. It is called Tāne Mahuta. Some people refer to it as the ‘Lord of the Forest.’
Thousands of people go to visit Tāne Mahuta every year. Would you like to be one of those people who got to see Tāne Mahuta in real life? Why or why not?
tell us whether you would like to go and visit Tāne Mahuta one day. Be sure to tell us why you do (or do not) want to visit this endemic tree.
Visiting the Tane Mahut tree so I can learn more about nature, and it would be exciting for me to see this tree

Kia ora Tyra,
It is great to see another SLJ activity from you! Keep it up :)
I agree with you that it would be exciting to visit the Tane Mahuta tree. I would love to see how tall it looks in person. Do you know how tall Tane Mahuta is?
Keep up the awesome blogging!
Talk soon,
Sophie
