What to do:
- Explore this website (the links to the right are a start)
- Check out Moko’s book for ideas
- Think of a creative way to show or tell us about Tara and her friends (there are some ideas below)
- Topics: (gallery page to see your work)
- animals (including fish, birds, invertebrates) and plants
- braided rivers
- conservation projects to help rivers and/or my friends
* PRIZE DRAWS: Every week beginning 10 April THREE prizes will be drawn from ALL entries (so the sooner you submit, the more chances you have) and ONE prize + the mystery prize will be drawn 29 May. Eligibility is subject to the following terms and conditions:
- you must live in New Zealand
- projects must include at least 4 facts (you can include heaps more of you want!)
- facts and spelling must be accurate
- if your work features plants or animals, include both their common name and Maori name (if you like, you can also include the scientific name)
- permission from your parents or caregivers to submit your work so that you can enter the draw and we can publish it online and share it on Facebook
REMEMBER! Your work will be showcased online so try to make it as neat as possible. We know that’s not always possible when you are doing things by hand, so just do your best (our personal favourite in Moko’s book is a hand drawn cartoon ‘Captain Mudfish’ – see below).
PRIZES (random draw):
- 5 x lunch/cooler bags
- 5 x caps
- 5 x beanies
- 5 x bucket hats (large only)
- 5 x drink bottles
- 1 x very cool mystery prize (drawn 29 May)
If you win a prize draw:
- We will contact you and ask for your address
- Prizes are currently in a warehouse that Trustpower staff are unable to access as they are staying safe in their bubbles. So please be patient as your prize will be sent to you once they can leave their bubbles.
Where to look:
The National Library of New Zealand has a full resolution (659.96 MB) digital copy that you can view online, however the medium resolution copy above should be sufficient for most purposes.
OR scroll down this page to see some examples.
Ideas!
- Write a story, poem, brochure, newspaper article
- Draw, paint, or make a picture from craft materials or by computer, and label it or use it as part of your project.
- Make a comic strip, a game, or a word finder
- Record a song or make a short video (you might be able to interview someone in your bubble who works in conservation or is a volunteer!)
- Something else!
The following pages are from Moko\’s book on biodiversity, not braided rivers (although some do live in braided rivers); this is just to give you some ideas for your project.
Trustpower is one of our partners helping out in several ways to protect my friends on braided rivers.
