SLJ Tane Mahuta Week 1

Kia Ora,
I have already visited Tane Mahuta with my Uncle and his wife Dawn from America. It was huge and green everywhere. It is sad that Tane Mahuta is getting the Kauri Die Back disease in the forest. I don't want Tane Mahuta to die. We need to look after this great tree and keep it nice and healthy.

  1. Kia ora Ariana!

    Wow. you have already seen it?! I think you are very lucky that your Uncle and Dawn took you because a lot of people don’t get the chance to see the beautiful Tāne Mahuta. I really appreciate and enjoy the fact that you have mentioned Kauri Dieback disease. It means that you know about the dangers of this disease. Can you teach me a bit more about Kauri Dieback disease? I think it would be great to know a little bit more.

    Heres a link with some more information about Kauri dieback: https://www.kauridieback.co.nz/what-is-kauri-dieback/

    Keep up the awesome work, I am really looking forward to reading more of your blog posts! Don't forget you can earn extra points by commenting on your fellow peers posts. These need to be positive, thoughtful and helpful comments that are 3 sentences long.

  3. We studied Kauri Die Back at school. The disease affects the trees roots. You have to wash your shoes when you go into a kauri forest.

    The picture I used was free to reuse.

    1. Kia ora Ariana!

      Thanks for teaching me this awesome bit of information about Kauri Dieback. I go tramping quite often and see the stations where you have to wash your shoes, so it is nice to know why we do this.

      Awesome, make sure you provide a link where you got this picture. Even if it is free to reuse, we need to give credit to the person who took the picture. Doing this we can then get the points for our activities with the Summer Learning Journey!

      Cheers,

  4. Hello Ariana,
    I am Vitaraag. You have totally given so much effort into this. Do you want to visit Tane Mahuta again? I want to visit it. Maybe next time you can say what disease it has and how it is getting it. Do you want to help Tane Mahuta? Keep up the phenomenal work!

  5. Hi there Ariana,
    I am surprised that you've already visited Tane Mahuta as I've always wanted to go there and have never been allowed to go because of my parents. I am happy that you've gone because now you know what it feels like, so job well done!

    I am really sad that Tane Mahuta may die from the Kauri Dieback disease, and that maybe the biggest tree in NZ is at risk of dying. I think we should do something significant to get rid of the disease if possible, don't you think?

    What is your favourite tree?

    Happy Blogging

  6. Hi Ariana,
    Great job on this activity! You are so lucky to have visited Tane Mahuta already. I want to see it one day so hopefully the Kauri dieback disease doesn't kill the humongous tree. How tall did Tane Mahuta look from down on the ground? Keep up the good work.
