Summer Learning Journey Week 4 Day 5
The Sky's the Limit
Activity 1
Environment Day - Beat Plastic Pollution
Three things that my family could do to help save the planet are:
1. Use a reusable drink bottle.
2. Take our own bags to the supermarket.
3. Use fabric bags for fruit and vegetables at the supermarket.
Activity 2
Adoption Day
Flamingo, Spotted Turtle and the Pygmy Elephant are three animals I have chosen from the WWF symbolic adoption page.
Differences between these animals
These three animals are from completely different species. One is a bird, one is semi-aquatic and the last is an animal.
The Pygmy Elephant is from Mayalsia. The Spotted Turtle live in parts of America and the Flamingo is from live in South America and Africa.
A Flamingo has feathers, a Pygmy Elephant has skin and the Spotted Turtle has a shell.
Similarities of these animals
Flamingos and Spotted Turtles both lay eggs.
The animal that I would symbolically adopt would be the Flamingo because they are awesome and my niece loves them.
Activity 3
Concluding the Journey
One thing I have learnt from the Summer Learning Journey is that I can make a difference to our environment by my attitude and my actions.
One thing that surprised me on the journey is how many wonderful different creatures and plants we have on our planet.
One thing that concerns me from what I learnt on the journey is how many endangered animals there are.
Me an my family can watch the impact we have on the environment, if we go out anywhere remove anything that we use.

Kia ora Hunter,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on completing the Summer Learning Journey (SLJ) programme. And with a week to spare too! You've put in a lot of time and effort over the passed three weeks and I'm so glad that I was able to read your wonderful posts. :)
Those are three really great, really simple, actions you and your family could do to help save the plant. You'll be happy to hear that all of us here in the SLJ team use reusable drink bottles while we work. :)
Something else that I use is shampoo and conditioner bars. One bar is equivalent to FIVE bottles! Amazing, right? I have really long hair so using them has reduced the amount of plastic I buy by a lot!
How cool is it that you can 'adopt' a wild animal? I didn't know that was a possibility until reading about it on the SLJ website. I would symbolically adopt a flamingo too - they're one of my favourite animals. In my Technology class at university we had to make a puppet and I made a flamingo marionette (that's how much I like them). What's your favourite animal?
I'm so glad that you learnt something from the programme, and that you're now aware that even small changes in our own lives can make a big different to the environment. We're lucky to live in such a beautiful place - it's important that we all do our bit to see that future generations can enjoy as much as we do. :)
It's a shame that the SLJ programme has come to an end but did you know, for every positive, thoughtful and helpful comment that you leave on another Summer Learning Journey bloggers posts, you can earn an extra two points! I hope to see some quality comments from you soon. :)
Congratulations again Hunter. I look forward to seeing you blogging with us next summer! :)
Mā te wā,
Mikey
