Reading week 6 term 3

Takaha are my favourite native bird but sadly they are critically endangered.

Takahe Diet: In winter, if snow cover is heavy, birds descend into the forest for shelter and feed mainly on underground starchy rhizomes of the summer green fern. Deer and takahē love to browse on the same tussock species in the alpine grasslands. Habitat: The takahē is a sedentary and flightless bird currently found in alpine grasslands habitats. It is territorial and remains in the grassland until the arrival of snow, when it descends to the forest or scrub. Why is the takahe endangered: South Island takahē originally occurred throughout the South Island. Hunting, predation and habitat loss resulted in a remnant population in the mountains of Fiordland

this my writing remerbering cross country there has been some very painful practises but it has been super fun.

Remembering Cross country On cold winter days… My feet remember the hard gravel as I run across it. My legs remember pounding as I jog. My body remembers sweating and feeling sore. My arms remember going back and forth as I ran. My hands remember curling and clenching. My face remembers turning red in the cold wind. My mind remembers to keep trying.
