Air, Foot, Boat Summer learning journey

This was my instructions

On your blog tell us which of the three options you would take to explore Milford Sound. Be sure to tell us why you have chosen this option.

This is my work

I had to choose between going by boat, by foot or by air (helicopter) and I choose a helicopter and the reason why I chose the helicopter is because I am very lazy and I don't like walking very much. Another reason is because I think its the safest to travel by a helicopter apart from walking. the third reason why I choose the helicopter is because I would be able to bring my family along if I wanted to and the last reason why I choose the helicopter is because it would be the funnest out of all the choices because I can see things that you can't see on a boat or by feet and also if we are still in the helicopter and it gets dark we can look at the stars. That's it for this blog post I hope you enjoyed and please leave a positive comment on my blog and include what you would choose.

Squid math problem Summer learning journey

This was my instructions
On your blog, tell us how you will solve this math's problem. You can write your answer in words, use a Sketchpad image or post a video explaining how you would figure it out. Be sure to give us your final answer. .


This is my work

I am imaging that average adults can lift 25 kg and kids can lift 15 kg. I have to find out how much adults and kids it takes to lift up a giant squid. The first thing I had to find out was how much the giant squid weighs and the answer is 275 kg. Now I have to find out how much adults and kids it will take to make 275 kg. 2 adults make 50 kg and 2 kids can lift up 30 kg so if they add there strength together that will make 80 kg so 4 adults and 4 kids make 160 we are almost there we just need one more child then it will make there strength add up to 275 witch is just enough to lift up the giant squid. So the answer is 4 adults and 5 children I hope you enjoyed this blog post please leave a positive comment on my blog and make sure you include how you would work this problem out.

Tough and Strong Summer learning journey

This was my instructions

On your blog, tell us about this person. Who are they? Why are they, in your opinion, so strong and tough?

This is my work

In my opinion, I think to be strong and tough you have to believe yourself and to be strong and tough you also have to have muscles but you also have to be smart. The reason why you have to have muscles is that you can't be strong without muscles. The other reason why you need to be smart to be strong is if you aren't smart you can go way too far in having muscles. The reason why I'm saying this is because some people get too obsessed and end up being too big and to be honest some people can die from that. A big part of being tough is to be able to stick up for yourself but also for other people. Once you learn how to stick up for yourself you get the hang of it then when people try to threaten you, you can take it because you already know how to defend yourself.

Flax Weaving Summer learning journey

This was my instructions
On your blog, tell us whether or not you would like to try flax weaving. Does it interest you? Why or why not?

This is my work

I would love to try weaving because it is a lot of fun. Flax weaving is very hard to do but once you get the hang of it it will become easier. It interests me because we have tried weaving a Korowai and it was so fun we were weaving it at school and since that was fun I would want to try it again but I want to try and weave something else. I don't know what I would weave but I'm pretty sure it would be something small because I would just be starting and the next time I weave it will be something bigger and then it gets bigger and bigger until I can make a proper Korowai then once I make that Korowai I will give it as a gift for my mum or grandad.

About New Zealand Summer learning journey

This was my instructions
On your blog, post a description of life in New Zealand in 2018. Please remember that the people who read your post will have never been to New Zealand or even seen a picture so it is your job to ‘paint a picture’ of New Zealand using your words. You can also post pictures, if you wish. Be sure to fully attribute the pictures.

New Zealand is a very open place to anyone. The people here are very nice but there are some that aren't. New Zealand has lots of houses that you can rent or buy or you can stay at a hotel there are lots of hotels in New Zealand and all the hotels are pretty on the inside and outside too. My favorite time in New Zealand is Christmas because lots of people put lights on there houses and They decorate it to and It looks very pretty. There are lots of beaches in New Zealand and if you go down to one you will see the light/dark blue water and your feet will feel warn on the ice hot sand!! if you don't like the ocean there are lots of pools around. New Zealand is filled with water and trees it a good thing because there is a nice balance between earth and water. I hope you enjoy what Ingot to say about New Zealand.

LOGGING Summer learning journey

This was my instructions

On your blog tell us whether you think logging should be allowed in New Zealand. Be sure to provide at least two reasons to support your argument.

#1                                                                                                                                                                                      I don't think it should be allowed 1 reason is because us humans and animals need trees to provide oxygen because if we don't have oxygen we wouldn't be able to breath which if we cant breath those who cut down the trees are half gilt of all the deaths that could happen because of tree loses. 

#2                                                                                                                                                                                       Trees provide paper as well and I would love to save trees because my sister loves drawing and I would do anything to make my sister happy so that is another reason why I think logging shouldn't be allowed here paper is made from trees so if saved paper we also save some trees but the only catch is since paper is made out of trees we have to cut the trees to save paper. Leave a comment saying what you think about logging.

Hotel Summer learning journey

This was my instructions

On your blog tell us where you would build your hotel and what you would use to build it. For an extra five points, use Google Drawings to design one room in your hotel. You can also use a paper and pencil to draw your room, take a picture of the drawing, and post it on your blog.

This is my work

This is my hotel that I drew on a site called Google Drawings. It was very fun to draw because its a very modern hotel but I got to use a bit of my imagination. There is a pool outside and a deck with modern chairs then on top of the deck there is a small little roof. There is a two story hotel and inside is very big and there are lots of open spaces. The location is at the beach and the sun is setting. I hope you enjoyed what I had to say and draw about. Please leave a positive comment on my blog and be sure to include what your hotel will look like.

Pancakes Summer learning journey

This is my instructions
For this activity you are asked to choose one of your favorite foods. On your blog, write the name of your favorite food and then tell us how to make it. You may need to ask a family member, friend or Google (!) for help, if you do not normally make this food for yourself.

This is my work

I don't really have a favorite food but I will tech you how to make pancakes because I like and they are the closest thing to my favorite.

1. The first step is to Whisk 1 1/2 cups flour, 3 tablespoons sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon baking soda in a medium bowl. 

2. The next step is to whisk 1 cup and 2 tablespoons of milk, 4 tablespoons of melted butter and 1 egg in a different separate bowl.

3. Then fold it into the flour mixture until it has combined well but it's OK if there are some lumps in the mixture.

4. After that brush a large nonstick skillet or griddle with butter and heat over medium-low heat. Add ¼ cupfuls of batter and cook until bubbly on top and golden on the bottom, about 4 minutes. Flip and cook until golden on the bottom, about 2 more minutes. and there you go but you can only make 6 to 8 pancakes so if you want to make more you can double this recipe and that will double the amount of pancakes.

WWF Summer learning journey

This is my instructions

Once you have watched the video, go to your blog and, using full sentences, tell us:
1) The name of the animal the WWF is working to save.
2) What the WWF is doing to help the animal. 3) What, if any, success they have had protecting the animal.

1) Sadly I only got to watch the 1st video because the 2nd video was restricted but I can still right about the first video. The WWF is trying to save the fresh water seals and also there babies. 

2)To do so they are clearing the snow and making it into snowbanks for the fresh water seals babies to hide from predators and so the baby seals will stay safe. To be honest we should help animals that need all the help they can get because lots of animals are getting extinct by hunger, hunters, and if its to cold or hot for them that's why I think being apart of WWF would be a great honor and in y last post you would know another reason why I would like to be apart of WWF.

3) The WWF has lots of success trying to protect lots of different animals The fresh water seals and there baby's got snow cleared and the WWF made good use of the snow, they made it into a pile and left it there so the baby seals can hide behind it. I want to say a big thank you to the WWF for helping animal's from all around the world and I think everyone else thanks you to. Just keep doing what your doing because its very helpful, kind and heart warming to hear what your doing for animals.

DOC Ranger Summer learning journey

This is my instructions

On your blog list three pros (good things) and three cons (bad things) about working as a DOC ranger. At the bottom of your post, tell us whether you would like to be a DOC Ranger or not.

This is my work

here are only a small amount of lizards, geckos and other small reptiles. The most popular out of all the small reptiles in New Zealand is lizard. Lizard are most found indoors due to there cold blood. I even found a lizard in the garage that goes to say that they are most common small reptiles in New Zealand.

#1 (Pro)

One good thing about being a DOC ranger is that you are helping the wild animals and that means you care about things that you don't really know about.

#2 (Pro)

Another reason is because you can learn a lot from the wild and sometimes when your a DOC ranger you can have lots of fun with the things that live in the wild.

#3 (Pro)

The last reason why I think being a DOC ranger is cool is because they get a good amount of money just by helping/looking after the wildlife.

#1 (Con) One bad thing about being a DOC ranger is that you could get hurt because your working with the wildlife.

#2 (Con)

another reason is if your allergic to what ever wild thing your helping and you don't know it something might happen to you.

#3 (Con)

The last reason is that if you don't be careful you could get badly hurt or the animal could.

Overall I would love to be a DOC ranger because as I said I love animals and I would love to get to know more animals that live in the wild. But I would be a little bit scared because of what might happen to me.

Summer learning journey create your own beast

This is my instructions

Please leave a positive comment and make sure to include what your beast would look like.

Summer learning Journey Working out

Words

The way I worked it out was I had to figure how many days were in a year and there are 365 then I split it like this 300-60-5 then I timed each one separately but then I realized I couldn't times them by 3 because they were to big of a number so instead of 300 I did 3 and 3 times 3 is 9 so 3 times 300 is 900. After that instead of 60 I did 6 and 3 times 6 is 18 which means 3 ties 60 would be 180 and the last number I left it as its original number which is 5 so 3 times 5 is 15 and then I added it altogether so 900 + 180 = 1080 and 1080 + 15 = 1095 so the answer is 1095.

Numbers

3 x 365 = ?

3 x 3 = 9 - 3 x 300 = 900

 3 x 6 = 18 - 3 x 60 = 180

3 x 5 = 15

900 + 180 = 1080

1080 + 15 = 1095

3 x 365 = 1095

fern club summer learning journey

This was my instructions... On your blog list three sports teams that have the word ‘fern’ in their title. Beside each team’s name, post a picture of their uniform. Then, at the bottom of your blog post tell us which of the three uniforms you like best and why.

Here is my work...

There are three or more sports teams that I know of and that is black ferns silver ferns and i'm still not to sure but tall ferns.

The black ferns are a girls rugby team and this is there uniform from 1 to 10 I would rate this a 8 because I like the design.

Image Attribution

the next team is the silver ferns this is there uniform I had to draw this due to copyright but I still think its really cool and looks the same or at least for me.

the last team is the tall ferns here is there uniform for this uniform I had to draw it. I thought it would be fun since i already drew one. This uniform is kind of the same but there are things to add.

I think my favorite uniform was the silver ferns because there design is very unique because I drew it but even the real one is cool. Sorry i could rate the other uniforms but ill leave that up to you. Please leave a positive comment and once again be sure to include your ratings for the uniforms.

Summer learning journey Tāne Mahuta tree

I would love to see the Tāne Mahuta one day because it is a very unique tree and it would be an honor to go and see something really beautiful. Another reason why I would love to go see the Tāne Mahuta tree is because of the location its in so basically if I ever get to see it I get a bonus because of the location. Personally I love going to see unique things like see creatures, Unique children and other weird things but going to see the Tāne Mahuta tree is so different and i'm saying that in a good way. The reason I like weird things is because personally I think i'm weird and seeing weird things just make my day. Please leave a comment telling me if you would ever see the Tāne Mahuta tree and also if you agree with me or not.

Summer learning Journey

Summer learning Journey 

The fist fact I thought was interesting was that the name Aotearoa actually means the land of the long white cloud. The reason I thought this was interesting was because I always thought Aotearoa meant a Maori legend but I never new for sure and now I do.

The 2nd fact I thought was very interesting was that the facts showed that the official language in New Zealand are Maori and English but then I thought to myself and Isn't sigh language one to write in the comments if you agree with me our disagree with me?.  

The next fact I thought was very interesting was that New Zealand was actually one of the 3 countries in the whole world that has two official national anthems.  The first National anthem is God Save the Queen and then God defend new Zealand, so does that mean we are the 2nd country to have a national anthem? write what you think in the comments.

Overall I thought this was an amazing and interesting blog if you liked it please leave a positive comment and I hope you enjoyed today's blog post

Cave animation voice over

Cave animation voice over

Hi my name is Eva and this is my animation about cave drawings, Long ago, there was an ancient tribe from the country now known as Africa. The tribe lived off the land and had to hunt and gather for their food. In this land, the impressive lion was the ultimate prize because it provided food for the whole tribe. Only the most mighty and cunning warriors could hunt such an animal. This is the story of one such tribe, on an epic hunt to catch one of these mighty animals. The lion was looking for food but got confronted by the mighty hunters. The first person struck but died in the process, then the next person struck but died as well so they came up with the idea of having a group but that didn’t work so they got into a bigger group of 6 and that worked perfectly so they were happy and they went back to there hideout space and cooked it. It turned into meat then they got some big stones and used it as plates then ate it they were all so happy The End

Reflection

Recount

One day Mum, dad, my brother, sisters and I were playing outside because it was a perfect day. It was so sunny but there was a nice breeze as well. My mum, dad and my brother were playing basketball. My sister and I went on our trampoline and my baby sisters were on their bikes.

Then one of my baby sisters got off and started to run around. All of us had no idea there was a dead bee on the ground. When she was running for a while she got tired and stopped running. She was almost going to step on it but she stopped because she saw the bee. Then she just ran again forgetting the bee was there.

As soon as she took one step she landed on it and all of a sudden she stopped and cried so hard we all could hear her. We all rushed over and asked what happened. She pointed to her foot and we all checked. We saw the stinger in her foot. We tried to pull it out but she wouldn't let us. In the end, we had to give her a bath cause she was dirty from playing outside.

When she had a bath the stinger came out and I saw it. I took it out straight away from the bath. Then she felt a bit better. We just gave her some ice cream to make her feel much better because she loves ice cream. Then we all sat down and watched TV. After that we all went to sleep because we were all so tired.

It was such a fun and a bit scary day. I thought it was a bit scary because of my baby sisters bee sting. But overall I thought the day was so nice and fun.
