Pekapeka Roosting Locally – Step it up

LI : Desgin a pekapeka bat roost

For today’s task I was challenge to design a home for bats to hide from their predators and to keep them safe at night and in daylight where they usually don’t go out sometimes. The reason why this bat roost design I made is good for bats to hide from predators hunting them because It looks difficult for them to figure out where they are and if they are too big they can fit.

Mountain Stone Weta – Step it up

LI : Design your own creature that can live in the extreme cold, inspired by Bigfoot, a yeti or even an abominable snowman!

For this task I was challenged to create a creature that can survive in the cold basically create mythical creature that is similar like bigfoot or a yeti which is a myth but still people still seem to have seen one before but for my creature I created on Craiyon which can create anything you type in the search bar on the site. For my creature I combined the looks of a yeti and big foot and put it together to see what it will look like but still. It’s name is Wendigo which means a spirit with a icy heart and assicoted with blizzards. To be honest instead of going more like do a winter weta I went to change it to a more yeti just to be more creative.

Tuatara Diorama

LI : Design an enriching enclosure for a Tuatara.

For this SLJ task I created a Diorama about a tuatara on a Google drawing , basically a Diorama is a piece of work you can do digital or you can do it at home using a cardboard box , if you are creating it at home here are the supplies you might need to create one :

  1. shoe box / cardboard box
  2. paper ( to draw out the pictures)
  3. sciccors
  4. pencil / rubber
  5. glue / hot glue
  6. vivid

the point is to create anything you like but for mine I did a tuatara and their natural habitat. One interesting thing I learnt about this task is that they are a well known reptile of Aotearoa they are sole survivours and are at the age of dinosaurs and apprantely people believe tuatara are basically dinosaurs since they lived back when they were here I guess we will never know ?
