how did they prove that Maori and Moriori descended from the same people? (Im not sure about this question because I didn't catch the answer)

explain how the Moa came extinct
The Moa because extinct because they would only lay 1-2 eggs a year and when rats and dogs came over to NZ with the Maori they sate the eggs. 

why did Maori choose to settle in the places they did?
They only lived in huts but when they moved over here t had more space so they stayed because t was more soacious.

Sentence starters #2

Sentence starters #2

Hi readers, today I am going to be telling you about the Sentence starters we have been doing in hurumanu 3.
We are doing a 2nd blog about this because we have got another sentence starter we need to post as well as the last ones we did.

A short sentence is a sentence with 5 or less words in it.

Here are mine:

(New) Very short sentence:

The biltong was too salty.

Our seed started to sprout.

W-start:
When the biltong was ready, the people ate it and gave feedback if they got the wrong one.
While we waited for the biltong to be ready, we wrote about it in a document and posted it on our blog.

Adverb start:
Excitingly, The seedlings are starting to sprout.

Lightly, we planted them in a big wooden box with dirt in it.

I hope you enjoyed reading my post, if you have any feedback or positive comment please leave them in the comments.

Sentence starters

Sentence starters

Hi readers, today I am going to be telling you about the w-start and adverb starts we did today in Hurumanu3.
With this we had to get a whiteboard, a whiteboard pen and a whiteboard rubber.

The task was to write down sentence starters

-Adverb start and W- start

Here are some samples:

W-start:
When the wind blew, our paper flew away.
While the cat slept, we went outside to play with the bunny.

Adverb start:
Excitingly, it is my birthday today.
(its not)

Lightly, the rain started to fall from the sky.

Conclusion: I think I liked this class because I actually thought of something to write down and it was sort of easy for me.

I hope you learnt something and enjoyed reading my post.
