Summer Learning Journey Week 3 Day 1

WEEK 3: Up, Up, and Away

Day 1. A Heated Debate

Activity 1

I think that the best season for the tourists to come and visit NZ is either spring or summer because I feel like those seasons are like not raining and if they are hot they can just find a waterfall to go swim in.

1. While they are in New Zealand they can go to Kelly Tarltons and explore things about the sea creatures.
2. I think that they should go find the different kinds of polluted rivers and maybe find out about what happened to the rivers or see if the rivers are better.
3. Lastly I think that they should go to Hunua falls and find out what happened to the people that died out there and DON’T SWIM because you can drown there and you can also die there.

Activity 2

1. Half a teaspoon sunscreen for face, ears and neck.1 teaspoon of sunscreen for each arm or leg to protect your legs and arms from the hot and flaming sun.
2. We need to protect ourselves from the sun this summer is when you go out you have to wear a hat. close fitting wrap around sunglasses protect your eyes from UV radiation.
3. Take a umbrella or something that gives you shade or just find a leafy tree so you don’t be out in the sun for like hours.
4. You also have to wear a shirt that has long sleeves and wear darker colors to give you a better protection.
5. Lastly wear close fitting wrap around sunglasses protect your eyes from UV radiation.

Activity 3

I had a little help because I didn’t really quite understand it and I was confused a  little bit but here is my graph.

Summer Learning Journey Week 2 Day 5

Day 5. Wasting Away

Activity 1

I think that the rule is fair because if those people go fishing on the restricted area and if they have to pay $100,000 well then it’s those people’s fault because they didn’t listen and they should of listened. But I think that the fine should just take it down a bit like $900,000 or $700,000 because $100,000 for me is way too much money for someone to pay.

Activity 2

1. Selwyn river, it is located at Waikirikiri, Canterbury. I couldn’t find the solution for the Selwyn river.
2. Manawatu river, it is located at Wanganui. I also couldn’t find the solution for the Manawatu river or maybe I am just really bad at searching things on Google.

Activity 3

1. Maybe you can sell everything that you don’t need and maybe your family’s things that they don’t need.
2. Maybe you can have a car wash for like the windows for like $10 and then the whole car for like $20.
3. Maybe you can give out raffle tickets and pay for that raffle tickets and then if you win and then maybe you can win a bike or a brand new car.

Summer Learning Journey Week 2 Day 4

Day 4. Spectacular, Spectacular

Activity 1

I would go by the helicopter because I feel like it’s safer that it is not on land and I also have chosen the helicopter because I want to see the view from the top, see how spectacular and interesting. I also want to take the helicopter because I want to see if there is anything wrong where I am going to and I don’t want to walk because then I would just be tired walking like 10 steps, I don’t like being tired. I don’t want to go on the boat because I feel like something is going to happen like a shark might attack the boat and other sea creatures.

Activity 2

1. Lime’s child or Lemon’s child
2. The pool is lava
3. The Grinch’s fever or The Grinch’s madness
4. Christmas fever*
5. The catch of the witch or Halloween surprise

Activity 3

I think that this selfie happened after playing a sport and the guy who is holding the phone wanted to take a photo with the other team, I think that after the sport that they were playing, I think they wanted a selfie just to be to be a memory. I also think that after playing their sports I think they just want to take a selfie with their idol or something like that. I think that those people in the picture are on a field or on a court, I think that they were finishing off their sports that they were playing. I think that the boy with the phone just wants a picture with celebrities or his idols to be remembered as a memory.

Summer Learning Journey Week 2 Day 3

Day 3. First you sea me now you don’t

Activity 1

Sometimes I am a night owl because sometimes I like to sleep in and wake up around 12:30 or 1:00. Sometimes I am a early riser because when is something happening in the morning and we have to go to a occasion, then I wake up around 5:50 or 6:10. My Mother and father are a early riser because they have run errands and they also have jobs. My older brother, I don’t know about him because he lives far away from the family and same as my second oldest sister, my second oldest brother I also don’t know because he lives in Australia and he also lives with his family. Since I live with my oldest sister she is sometimes both because the youngest baby is like a alarm to her but then sometimes the baby sleeps in if she is very tired. My 21 sister I really don’t know because I don’t live with her and my 15 year old brother is a night owl because he plays fortnite to the night and he wakes up around like 12 or 11:0

Activity 2

My favourite food is Ota and here are the ingredients:

• Raw fish
• Cream
• Tomato
• Onions

My other favourite food/drink is Otai and it is a Tongan drink that has slices of fruits:

• Mango
• Coconut - Optional
• Pineapple
• Milk
• Sugar
• Water.

Activity 3

I think that the answer is 40 because 20 + 10 is 30 and 5 + 5 is 10 then you add 10 and 30 which is 40. That is how I worked out the answer out.

Summer Learning Journey Week 2 day 2

Day 2. Fabulous flora

Activity 1

I have tried flax weaving and it is such a awesome experience for me because I get to learn how to create different kinds of objects out of flax. I would like to try to make other things with flax weaving because I want to be a pro at it and learning to make something out of a plant is really surprising.

Activity 2

Mike Tyson is a strong and tough person, his full name is Michael Gerard Tyson and he is a Americain pro boxer who completed 1985 to 2005. Her is the first person that popped into my mind when I thought of someone strong and tough and I think that he is in the movie called Ip Man. I like the way the how Mike Tyson dodges the other opponents punch because I can’t do that and I would just get punched.

Activity 3

Welwitschia Mirabilis

Pitcher Plant

Similarities:

1. They both don’t live in the ocean
2. They both grow to become larger and larger
3. They both have the colour green on some of their body parts

Difference:

1. They have different type of facts
2. The Welwitschia Mirabilis just continues to grow more and more.
3. The smell of pitcher plants helps it to easily catch the prey.

Summer Learning Journey Week 2 Day 1

WEEK 2: Water, Water, Everywhere

Day 1. Swimming with the fish

Activity 1

I don’t have a favourite summer activity or any summer activity but in the evening or around 12 something I have been wanting to write about my day and what I am predicting about my day and predict what is going to happen, I want to write it in my diary that a friend of mine gave to me. While doing that I want to listen to songs because without the songs my life would be so boring and I would be yawning everyday. But the only thing that I hate about myself with songs and home learning is that when I listen to sons while doing my home learning I cannot concentrate with the music on and doing my home learning so that’s why I always have to turn off the music and then I turn back the music after I read or doing my home learning. I have been wanting to do it because I have so much extra time and I have nothing to do, I also want to do it because I want to listen to songs so much and I listen to songs so much other times.

Activity 2

If I had a free ticket and I would take 3 people, I would take:

My teacher, Mrs Middleton because she is so supportive and she will make sure that I have a great time and even though, I will lose she will say “You tried your best and at least you had a awesome experience” or something like that. She will have my confidence bar high and higher. She is also like a second mother to me and she will never be forgotten, without her supporting me than I wouldn’t have that much confidence then I have now.

My best friend, Silia because she keeps on making me laugh and I cannot stop laughing in class because of her, she is the reason why I am smiling and laughing everyday. Every time she is not around me it’s like I have a missing sister and I need to find that missing sister that a part of my life.

My mother, Ana because she is also very supportive and like without her, my life would be so empty and without her my life wouldn’t be completed. She is everything to me and with her it’s like a excited and fun roller coaster. Fun because she is the one that makes the roller coaster bumpy which makes it fun and excited because she makes the me laugh with the surprises she has for the siblings and I. She means the world to me.

Summer Learning Journey Week 1 Day 5

Day 5. Blink and you’ll miss it

Activity 1

I think that loggers should be allowed in New Zealand because if they want to build buildings like in towns and if the trees are in the way then cutting the trees is a helpful thing to build buildings and things like that.

I also think that loggers should be allowed in New Zealand because there might be too much trees and they want to cut some trees off.

I also think that loggers should be allowed in New Zealand because there might be MASSIVE and small trees in the way.

Activity 2

My letter:

Dear Dad (Toni)

It is really cold here in Tundra and it feels like I am in the freezer of our fridge, except it doesn’t have food. On our way here, I did snow angels and they were beautiful and interesting, Interesting because for me it didn’t look like a snow angel and why do the people call it snow angels?. Beautiful because it looked interesting and wonderful at the same time, when I saw the mountains I had to tilt my head all the way up because it was so TALL and GIGANTIC.

Activity 3

New Zealand is a wonderful and crazy country, the food in New Zealand is just amazing and delicious well most of them. People from the streets playing music that is going through my ear to the other ear is making me move my body. The way the water moves between my toes is smoothing and relaxing, it makes me want to go to sleep. The vibe is amazing, filled with so many possibilities and choices that will just explode. It may be a small country but it is filled with so many things to do, so many places to see, and so many choices of places to eat.

Activity 3

Summer Learning Journey Week 1 Day 3

Day 3. Awesome Animals

Activity 1

My beast has a name and his name is Cicada because he makes weird  and loud noises, he has hazel eyes flashing with lightning bolts, he has shiny teal scales that shimmers in the sunlight. He has a fierce scar at the edge of his eyes, he has 2 long and old horns that protects his face from whatever he is doing. When he’s angry, he storms outside of his house and goes for a walk and lets out his anger before he takes it out on other people and he doesn’t like that.

Activity 2

Pros:

The animals will know how to treat a human being.

You are protecting something that is created by God.

You experience being a doc ranger and when people want to have advice from that person who is worker from Doc Ranger, then that doc ranger worker will tell them the advice that they need in their situation.

Cons:

The animal might give birth and you might not what to do but then all you do is   just staring.

The animal might run away and don’t listen to you and then you get fired.

The animal might not like you and might start to attack you.

Activity 3

The name of the animal that they are going to be saving is Saimaa ringed seal.

The people are building snow banks to save the animals.

If they had any success then the pups would be able to live with their families and their families will be so happy and pleased because I know that parents or families don’t like it when they have lost a child if their own.

Summer Learning Journey Week 1 Day 2

Day 2. Forest Life

Activity 1

Of course, I would like the to go visit Tane Mahuta because I want to feel what the other people feel like when they go and meet Tane Mahuta. I also want to go visit him because I want to learn facts about him because I really enjoy learning about new things and I like to connect the thing that I don’t know with my prior knowledge. I also want to go visit the endemic tree because I want to know Does it die? How does it die? Or can you regrow it?

Lastly, I would be one of those people because I want to go visit with my friends and family then it would be fun.

Activity 2

These are the three teams that have ferns:

The first one is Black Ferns

The second one is Silver Ferns

The last one is Kiwi Ferns

My favourite one is Silver Ferns because I love playing netball and I love to play Netball.

My second favourite is the Black Ferns because I think that it’s pretty simple and it’ good that it’s not like all the rainbow, black and white fits the uniform.

Lastly, I like the Silver Ferns a little bit because the V is such a clever idea and I couldn’t think of that.

Activity 3

I think that the answer is 1095 millilitres in 1 full year, because 3 x 5 is 15, 3 x 60 is 180 and then 3 x 300 is 900. Then all we have to do now is to add all the answers together, so 900 + 180 is 1080 and then 1080 + 15 is 1095.

Summer Learning Journey Week 1 Day 1

WEEK 1: A Place to Stand

Day 1. In the beginning…

Activity 1

Fun Facts:

1. New Zealanders are also called kiwis but kiwi is not a fruit. It is New Zealand’s native flightless bird. I  chose this fun fact because I thought that kiwi is s fruit but when I read this fun fact I was shocked.
2. The largest city in New Zealand is Auckland although its capital city is Wellington. I also chose this fun fact because I don’t really know that much cities in New Zealand except for Auckland. But I did know that Auckland was the largest city in New Zealand but I always wanted to know what was the second largest city in New Zealand.
3. There are no snakes in the country!. Lastly, I chose this fun fact because I want to feel what if there is snakes in this country. Of course I would feel terrifying but I want to know how you can be their friend.

Activity 2
I was born in America but I now live in New Zealand like my whole life, New Zealand is special to me because if New Zealand wasn’t created or was found then I wouldn’t be in New Zealand I would will be in America with all those dangerous causes. I am so grateful for the maori people who was the founder of this island. America is also special to me because that is where I was born and I am representing my country and I am proud to be representing a country. New Zealand is like a missing puzzle that completes my life, and America is like the missing puzzle that completes my body. I really enjoy New Zealand because when I go to the beach I really love how the sand sinks my toes in and how the water makes my body have goosebumps. I heard angry and loud birds squawking while I was playing with the sand. I saw the tall and beautiful buildings as my family and I drove past the wonderful buildings. I felt like the amazing and invisible wind was going through my lovely body, I wonder if there the freezing and powerful ocean will take over the strong earth. I love America my hometown and I also love New Zealand
