Start your writing here:

In Athletics we had to line up; when we were lining up in the 10 year old boys line, unfortunately I was the last person in the line number 42. I wasn’t happy because I had to wait for 41 people to go before me. But Jack said I had the advantage because I can look at their mistakes and I can use them to see how I could do it better.

My first activity was Discus, I did pretty good. In my first and second throw I got past the second line; but Taylor said that I had a good throwing technique.

Term 3 Integrated learning

This is our information report on the Haast’s Eagle around between 1280 and 1400. It was a terror of the ancient skies and terrorized the Maori and their flock (animals.) Here are a few facts about it.

The Haast’s eagle’s wingspan was roughly 2-3 metres wide enabling it to fly fast and high,  plus the fact of its sharp and giant 7.5 cm talons and beak. It can catch quite a few Moa in its time, but sadly in our day it is extinct because the Maori killed off the Moa, so the Haast’s Eagle didn't have any prey left. The Maori couldn’t hunt the Haast’s Eagle because of its supreme speed, severe strength and massive mass, and back then they did not have the right technology.

🦅

So in overall conclusion it was an extremely efficient hunter that was at the top of the food chain for an very long time. It terrorised the Maori for decades, centuries even, so it was a very successful predator.
