how to make your own Rainforest

    How to make your own rainforest

The materials you need are:

Some small gravels

Some charcoal

A fish tank

Tap water

Compost

Tropical plants

Potting soil

Here’s how to make your own rainforest:

Put some charcoal in the fish tank. And spread it around and do the same thing with the potting soil. And the gravels then we put the plants into the fish tank. And added some more soil. Then we put the soil together with the plants to make the plants stand up. Then we water the plants. And that’s how you make your own rainforest.

Trees for survival

                          Trees for survival

In Auckland 40% of the land is supposed to be covered by trees. But in 2012 the statistics said that there was only 23.8% of land covered in trees.

So that means we have to plant more trees.

Tree are important because they suck up carbon dioxide and produce oxygen. Trees make food for us. Trees can stop global warming. They also provide wood for us to make houses,furniture and paper. They provide us cotton wool to make clothes too.

But if we cut more trees to make houses. There will be no oxygen and no one will survive. That’s why we have to plant more trees so we can have a balanced environment and everybody will live.

Skills flow activity

Today we learnt how to make tapa cloth. It is a long process. I had to explain this process to my buddy. I had to learn new words to say the process.
