The Article is about a sheep and cattle farm that had belonged to the same generation for twenty generations. The article also talks about native trees manuka, rewarewa and others.

2. What do you think the author’s purpose for writing this article was?

I think the author’s purpose of writing the story was because they want the generations of the farm to continue and because Arthur wanted to explain what the native trees were used for and how they used them.

3. Identify 3 new words that you are unfamiliar with. Find the definition, and use the word in a sentence

WORD	DEFINITION	SENTENCE
Ahikaroa	Long occupation	The plan was called Ahikaroa.
Vital rongoa	Medicine	Many kinds of native trees and plants were vital rongoa.
titoki	Alectryon excelsus	Another species the ancestors planted was titoki.

4. What are 4 important ideas you’ve got from the text? Write these in your own words.

That the Sheep and Cattle farm was Important to the Family that It belonged to.

I learnt that trees are really important to people because of plenty of reasons like people can wave things out of the leaves like shoes, baskets and others.

I also learnt that trees are important to people because people made medicine out of the shiny black seeds on them.

Another thing that I learnt is that the sheep and cattle farm is important to the family because they have had that sheep and cattle farm for a long time and it belonged to their ancestors. Another reason why the sheep and cattle are important to the family is because the sheep provide food and the cattle provide milk and food too.
