Homework task; Write some facts about a Rimu tree.

The Rimu tree aka Dacrydium cupressinum. This tree can grow up to 35-50 meters they are found in really tall forests in groups of them much like a heard they are found all over New Zealand, but really there habitat is lowland to montane forest. The Rimu tree comes from the podocarpaceae family, podocarpus (one of the species that form the podocarpus forestes in NZ, others include the Kahitatea and the Totara) . The female and male tree of Rimus are much different the Female plant bears the flowers and fruit. The Rimu only flowers and fruits onces every five to seven years the fruits take a year or more to mature and are ripe from about February and May.

The tree is in a pirymid shape and when young is like a brown green and as it forms into an adult tree it becomes greener. It can grow from a fresh seed. When planting stake the tree to ensure the singel dominant leader is looked after and much well to prevent the plant from dying and not coping in summer. The Maoris have much belief that rimus should always be planted in groups of 3 or more.
PS; still got more to add.

S4: Care for younger children: Organize a series of games or activities for younger siblings or neighbors or teach them a dance or an instrument


Teach someone a dance or something that could help them in a bad situation.
Today at the wedding I taught my 2nd cousins how to slow dance, I taught them before the day of the wedding, so they were perfect. At it at the wedding they were such amazing dances so I think they were better at it before I taught them this little slow dance..Anyway they showed off to the crowd and got heaps of people clapping and dancing with them, we all smiled. I think me teaching them not only had a grave effect on them but others in the family. 


Care for a Group of children for a day make sure they have fun and get them to do a survey.





Care for a group of children for a day.
Today in Las Vegas, the adults of the family left out to the casinos and other things therefore I volunteered to look after the Kids, Kylie, Nia, Tatatifi. We drove around Vegas and went swimming at the beach pool wave pool and the lazy river. We also enjoyed a nice lunch at Starbucks it wasn't like a main lunch but a ice chocolate and a bagel after that we went back for a swim and played with some people we met in the pool we also had an ice cream. Later on we went to a light parade and went out for dinner. Not long after that we went to a show called the blue man show with neon lights. It was so funny and amazing to watch.
