Welcome to this Room 11 blog. Our learning philosophy is to LEARN, CREATE an artifact that shows our learning, and then SHARE it in creative ways, including posting it here on this blog.The purpose of this blog is for students to become accustomed to sharing their learning, recieving feedback, and preparing them for having their very own blog.While students will make every effort to have work corrected and error free it is in fact authentic student work, showing where students are at, and so there are likely to be some mistakes. The aim is to note progress and improvement, and we expect to see this over time.

Enemy’s
the Kiwi has enemy’s such as Mice, Rats, Stoats, Dogs, Cats, Ferrets and to the Little Spotted Kiwi there are also pigs.in 1987 a dog was on the loose in waitangi state forest in the bay of islands. for six weeks it rampaged through the forest killing every kiwi it encountered.by the time the dog had been found at least 500 kiwi were killed  this proved that kiwis were vulnerable to predators.

    Hi! Aidan and Dylan,
    I like the way you have identified that there are different types of kiwis in NZ as often people think all kiwis are the same.. I think your next step is to include punctuation like capitals and fullstops where they are needed.
    I liked the way you included the story about the dog killing kiwis in the section about predators as it highlights how dog owners have to be careful where they let their pets roam.
