For our (reading) task we learnt about the Kuaka bird and where it travels daily around New Zealand. I went on Google maps to trace the path the kuaka took to migrate but first I  search up where does the kuaka bird travel around New Zealand when  they migrated from Alaska. We all know we got a lot of questions why can’t the kuaka bird just stay in one place around New Zealand. The food that that the Kuaka bird eats is Worms , Shellfish and Insects they usually eat it around Coastal Areas like beaches. They stop around New Zealand to refuel their body to have energy to fly to Alaska to their breeding grounds. Something i found interesting was that we got to learn where they traveled.

For this acitvity I’m talking about how we had learned about the kuaka birds. If you collaborated say what this means and how this helped you combine your knowledge, This activity was fun because we got to learn about the Kuaka bird and what it could do. We were working in our Reading groups, We we’re talking to each other to get information. We listened to everyone’s ideas.

Soemthing I found interesting was that we got to learn about the kuaka bird.

For this activity we needed to create a map that shows how long the kuaka birds fly for and where the kuaka birds migrate to.

Kuaka birds, also known as bar-tailed godwits, love to hang out near the water, especially in places like estuaries, mudflats, beaches, and coastal marshes, where they find lots of yummy food.

Every year, as winter approaches, the Kuaka fly north to the breeding grounds of Alaska, stopping off in Korea and Japan for a rest and some food on the way. On the return journey, as our summer approaches, they fly directly to New Zealand, a trip of endurance with no food, water, or rest; nearly 12,000 km non-stop.
