Minecraft Ecosystem Build

Last term in Te Ngahere we had make a minecraft build about the ngahere around us. Before we even started we had to do some research about the ngahere, like what the roles were, what lives it and what an ecosystem even is. I think that it was quite important to learn about that sort of thing because we needed to understand how it all worked before we could try make one. My minecraft world shows some of the pests, native animals and plant. We also added producers by putting trees in. We added consumers by putting a kiwi eating a worm. We added Decomposers by adding worms. We added endemic and introduced thing like rats and kiwi so we could make it more like our ngahere. We didn’t add mutualism (Which is where animals and plants work together) because we couldn’t find away. I didn’t really learn anything, I was more reminded about what we did in the past. A big problem that we faced was making our huge kauri tree look real. We solved that problem by just going back a forth until it look good enough. I am most proud of the big kauri tree because in the end I thought the it looked quite cool. I don’t think the I would add anything or change anything because what did was all that we were capable of doing. I don’t think anyone will learn much from our recording because we recorded it in away that we were just telling what was there. It helps people understand how special and balanced our New Zealand ngahere is because it shows all the animals and plants in it.
