KURI!
WALT: Read a text and share it to each other
This week I have been reading a text called Kuri. A key idea in this text is extension. An example of extension is when it is no longer alive. Another key idea in this text is clothing. An example of clothing is when you wear it. Kuri's were treated unfairly because people would skin the kuri's and use the fur for clothes like, T-shirts, pants and clocs to keep them warm. The kuri's ate the same thing as the people looking after them. Kuri's are dogs with long fur and pointy ears.

Kuri's are now extinct because they couldn't be alive for thousands of years. Another reason they are extinct is because people would eat them and the Kuri's would die. The Kuri's are a polynesian dog. People have found dog bones that are hundreds or even thousands of years old. Scientist have studied the dog bones.

Scientists agree that ancestors of kuri probably come from the east Asia and travelled from island to island with their owners. Kuri arrived in Aotearoa New Zealand with the early polynesian voyagers. Scientists think that the dogs were brought here because people knew Kuri would help them stay alive in the new land. Dogs were good hunters - they could help find and catch birds like kiwi.
