Descriptive sentence writing week 4

the nikau palm is big and tall. the trunk is dirt brown. The leaves are grass green. they are really pointy and sharp. The beads are like little m&ms.they  nïkau palm is unique to New Zealand and it primarily occurs in coastal to lowland forest in warmer regions. It is found in the North Island and the northern South Island from the Marlborough Sounds and Nelson south to near Okarito in the west and Banks Peninsula (near Christchurch) in the East Because nïkau palms grow primarily in coastal and lowland areas, their habitat has been greatly reduced and disturbed by human development and land conversion. Introduced mammals may also pose a threat by eating nïkau flowers and fruit so that fewer new plants are produced.Some say that when Mäori came to New Zealand, they looked in vain for a familiar tree and seeing the nïkau, compared it to the coconut tree of their Pacific homeland. One translation of ‘nïkau’ is ‘without nuts, in remembrance of the coconut. An alternative translation is ‘only leaves’, referring to the fact that the tree has many leaves that originate from a single stalk.

This week we went into our garden and look at our nikau palm it had tall and spiky leaves

the branch was dirt brown the beads look like little m&m they were brown like milk chocolate
