Bella's Information about the Christchurch Earthquake

Did you know that more than 1,000 people have been rescued! All of those people are alive today, some of them have been badly damaged themselves but at least they are alive. But sadly more than 400 are dead, most of the people that are alive have a lot of broken bones. The Chistchurch Earthquake is one of the deadliest earthquakes in New Zealand!

Kauri Tree Dieback

We want to protect and preserve our native Kauri trees so that they don't die away. They are important to New Zealand because their represent part of our culture and they are a vital part of our bushes and forests. Kauri trees like to grow in a warm climate and are only found in the North Island from Tauranga to Cape Reinga.

When people visit our native forests and bush they must clean their shoes because there may be soil in the treads that carries Phytophthora Taxon Agathis (PTA) or Kauri Dieback. Phytophthora means plant destroyer. The sad thing about this fungi-like organism is that it only kills Kauri trees!

Welcome to Room 21 2011

This year, my goal is to give the responsibility of our blog maintenance to the room 21 students. I hope this blog will be a place where students can share their learning and experiences at school with their families and friends. Our blog will also be a place where we try new things and reflect on everything to do in our lives at school.
Please visit this site regularly and become a follower so you can comment on the world of room 21!
