Activity 1

Giants Amongst Us

The NZ Kauri Tree:

I would love to be someone who gets to visit the infamous endemic Kauri Tree the Tane Mahuta because it would be amazing to see something that is so old and still living. I would like to see how many of my family members it would take for us to all link arms and do a big group hug around the tree. It would be an amazing experience and cool to be able to tell people that I saw the oldest living Kauri tree in person. 

Activity 2

Fabulous Ferns

Silver Ferns: 

Black ferns:

Tall Ferns:

Out of these three teams I  would prefer the Black Ferns uniform because it looks comfy and I like the design of the uniform the best out of the 3.

Activity 3/bounce

Weird and Wonderful

3 ml of water for a whole year would equal 1,095 ml

First I would times 300 by 3 = 900
then I would times 60 by 3 = 180
lastly I would times 5 by 3 = 15
 Add all of these together and it totals 1,095 ml

My top 3 fun facts about New Zealand 

• Wow, did you know that more New Zealanders own cars than anywhere else in the world, 2.5 million cars to 4 million people , that's a lot!

• The land of the long white cloud...  New Zealand...  Aotearoa... Did you know that the moari name for New Zealand is Aotearoa and that means The Land of the Long White Cloud.

•  THE PACIFIC RIM OF FIRE!!!  sounds pretty scary right?    New Zealand is part of the pacific rim of fire, in the middle of the north island is Mount Ruapehu  which is the most active volcano.

I live in the beautiful Garden City... Christchurch. Some of my favourite things about my hometown are that we have some amazing beaches, all of them being different, New Brighton beach has a great pier so you can amble down the pier over the cold glistening water, it has facts about the build written on it and its history. Sumner beach has some fantastic caves  and rocks to explore with the water splashing at your feet, plus it has many more beautiful beaches to explore.
One of my most favourite places is the wandering Waimakariri river where I like to take my dog to play in the  shallow water, it has a lots of different sized sticks that he loves to play with.
I enjoy the new multi complex of movie theatres in the central city with amazing food places there as well.  They have huge lazy-boy recliners for you to relax while you watch.  The screens are massive and have an amazing picture. The sound booms out around the theatre to make you jump a mile high out of your seat.

Plastic bags

For writing we are trying to persuade people to ...

Ban the bags

Would you eat a plastic bag?

Neither would I but turtles eat plastic bags daily mistaking it for food.

First  I would get rid of  all the plastic bags so they won’t kill life and so the nothing dies but not by burning
them otherwise it would kill all life on earth.

Second would you eat it? We are actually eating it every day because if sea creatures eat it we do too.
People eat them every day including you. And animals die when by eating them.

Finally I think we should use reusable bags like fabric bag and so we don’t kill land animals or ocean
animals.

I really hope that you strongly agree with me and I hope you think about how in 2050 if we go on like this
there will be more plastic in the sea than fish.

Summer Learning Journey 20

Activity 1

When I leave high school I would like to become a Police Officer.
I would need to be physically fit and I would have to have my drivers licence.  I could do these things while I am still at high school.
I would need to go to police training and learn different things.
I already do jui jitsu which is self defence training and if I keep this up I will be fit and able to look after myself.

Activity 2
I would choose the flying car.  This is because I when I am a police officer I can use this car to catch people.  I could use it to make sure I get to places on time and not get stuck in a traffic jam. I could park on the roof so when I am going to someplace that is full I can park on the roof and no one else will be parked there.

Bonus Activity - Blade Runner

In 2099 I think people will live in space ships in outer space.  Families will have a big space ship, other people will have smaller space ships and there will be big domes where you can fly your shuttle into and buy food and other things.  

The food will be the same, everything will have a longer expiry date and be made and grown in special space factories.

You will work on a planet so you can explore it and discover new things about it.  You may choose to work in a special space factory and make food for people to eat.

We are going to wear special space armour that lets you breathe in space without a oxygen tank.  You will wear clothes similar to what we wear now when you are on your own space ship.


There will be a special school spaceship for children to go to school on.  Another one for high school and another one for University.

Summer Learning Journey 19

                                      Activity 1

I like the trailer because it is very good and cool.  It starts with Moana describing Maui and asking him to save the world. She has to convince him as he tries to talk her out of it.  "Have you ever defeated a lava monster?" It then shows  Maui and talks about it being "Maui Time!" Moana says that the "Sea chose me!" It then show a tribe sailing the seas travelling to different islands.  Moana discovers hidden boats on her own island. It show us Maui shape shifting into a bird. Maui tries to take the boat and throws Moana off the side.  The sea however keeps putting her back on the boat.  It then goes back to show Moana as a child walking out into the middle of the sea as the water moves away from her.  It returns her to the shore as her dad calls her.  

I have seen the movie, the main characters are Moana, Maui and Hei Hei. The movie is about Maui a demi god saving the world with the help of a island girl Moana.  Moana gets the courage to leave her island and seek out Maui.  They travel together to defeat the lava monster, fighting off monsters that want the heart, on the way and restore the heart of Te feiti.  Once they have done this they both go there own ways,  Maui goes off and Moana travels back to her island and convinces them to once again travel the seas to new islands.  My favourite character in this movie is HeiHei the chicken because he is always being saved from dangerous things by the sea. 

Activity 2 - Country Calender

The interesting things about being a farmer are driving machinery like tractors, baling hay, milking cows, watching things grow and lots more. You need to be able to solve problems. Working outside in all weather. 

I would not like to be a farmer. It is hard because the weather decides if it is going to be drought or flood. I also think deciding what kind of farmer would be hard you could be sheep farmer, beef farmer, orchard farmer, pig farmer or a dairy farmer.
