I run as fast as I could trying to lose him but every corner I took he seemed to be right behind me. “I’m going to get you”,boomed cain in a sly voice, “you can’t run forever” I sprinted ahead. It felt like i had been going for hours. Then I stopped and I lessind I couldn’t believe it I had lost him.

I opened my mouth and started to pant. A whiff of stale air came in it felt like I was swallowing a five hundred year old brick. Then I noticed the walls I had never gotten the chance to look at them when I was running. But the artwork was exes wiset with brush strokes telling stores that happened millions of years ago! I leaned against the wall to get a closer look but the dust was five inches thick. Then it hit me the worst smell amenable. When was the last time they emptied the chamber pots in this place thought and were are all the people?

Just then I saw a hasy golden light coming from one off the rooms  I blinked and looked again but it was gone. I walked into the room and had a look around but there was nothing in it. Just then the paewae (door) slammed behind me and locked and smoke started to full the room. Pitchers formed in the smoke it was this building but about 30 years ago everyone was happy and peaceful then a dark cloud pulled over the town and everyone disappeared apored from one person a little boy now older than 7 the strange thing was he looked a lot like cain.

Ruru Information Report

Ruru

The ruru also known as the morepork is New Zealand's only native owl weighing  about 175g and is
about 29 cm tall. The ruru is one of the few birds in New Zealand that is nocturnal.

The ruru has bright yellow eyes and dirty white feet. It has dark brown feathers on its head and reddish
brown feathers and white feathers on its stomach. The ruru can turn its head all the way around so it
can see all predators. Since the morepork is nocturnal it also has night vision.
 When flying the ruru does not make a sound because of the soft edges on its wings.

The ruru only lives on the South Island and offshore islands in New Zealand. It lives in forests
 because the ruru needs trees to survive. But sadly humans are cutting down the forest meaning it’s
getting harder and harder for the ruru to find homes.

When the ruru eat they swallow their prey whole and then cough up there bones fur and feathers.
The ruru eat insects, lizards, Beetles, small birds, weta, moths, spiders, rats and mice.
Ruru are very good at hunting because one ear is higher than the other and this helps the ruru
 to pinpoint sounds.

In spring the ruru will lay about 2 eggs. The female will incubate the eggs for 20 to 30 days while
the male goes hunting for food to bring back to the female.
Sometimes if there is not enough food the ruru will only let one chick survive.

Ruru have many threats such as cats, rats,possums and mustelids but their biggest threat is
humans as we are cutting down their homes, taking away their food and moreporks can’t see
glass so they fly into it and die!

Humans may be a threat to the ruru but if we put our heads together and actually try we can help this
amazing bird.

Literacy

Science/Social Science learning goals

We are learning to understand about the environments around us and
the negative of positive impact our actions can have on these environments.

Success criteria;

• identify and explain some of the issues facing our environment today
• identify some of the negative impacts humans are having on the environment
• identify some positive actions people are taking both here and around the world to try and
• help look after our environment.  
• identify some positive actions we can take at school and in our own lives to help
• our environment.
• learn about our local bush track and creek and
• identify some ways in which we can help to look after (kaitiakitanga) these areas.

Atoms: atoms are very small. That make up everything from cups to trees.

Carded:firdes aligned in the same directions
