Year Six Estuary Habitat Hunt

 Today Year Six looked at the variety of habitats our Tamaki Estuary offers.

We played a fun Kahoot to review what a habitat its, read posters describing estuary habitats and the animals that are adapted to live there, cut and pasted descriptors and their photos and lastly played an online create a mangrove habitat game.

What have we learnt today?

Stephen "Mangroves have roots that like to live in muddy shaded places"

Eliza "Over 300 000 litres of rubbish are collected out of the Hauraki Gulf every year"

Harry "Reefs increase the biodiversity of estuaries"

Ruby "There are lots and lots of fish in estuaries and we need to help them"

Tai "Salt marshes are one of the hidden treasures of the estuary"

Chloe "Seagrass is great homes for baby snappers"

Kayden "In the marches stoats, cats and rats feed on the baby chicks and eggs of seabirds"

Monique "Pests like cats live on the estuary edge"

Rory "Shellfish keep the estuary clean"
