Week 1 ~ Day 5 - Activity 1

TBC

Week 1 ~ Day 4 - Activity 3

If I were to build a hotel I would build it near mission bay.

I would use metal for the foundations and wood to cover the walls, then put marble onto the wood and put a nice comfy carpet onto the ground.


Week 1 ~ Day 4 - Activity 2

Favourite food.

My number 1 favourite food has to be my mum's homemade Honey Joys!
Honey Joys are a combination of Honey (Obviously), White sugar, Butter and Corn Flakes.

Recipe

3 tbs of butter.

1/3 cup of sugar.

1 tbs of honey

And 4 cups of corn flakes.

When I first tried this food I thought it tasted like heaven and immediately wanted more!

Week 1 ~ Day 4 - Activity 1

Sir Edmund Hillary was the first man to scale Mt Everest.

These are the five questions I'd like to ask him!

1 - What did you find most challenging about climbing the mountain?

2 - Did you slip while climbing and did it scare you?

3 - Did you ever think about giving up?

4 - Did people recognize you whenever you went out?

5 - Are you proud that your face was put on the 5 Dollar note?

Week 1 ~ Day 3 - Activity 3

The Saimaa Ringed Seal is an endangered species of seal. The WWF is currently working day and night to save the seals and stop their species from extinction by building snow banks so the mother seals can give birth to their pups. Without snow banks, the mother is forced to give birth in an open area which can attract predators and I am positive that the plan was successful.

Week 1 ~ Day 3 - Activity 1

Gaboon Viper.

Have you ever seen a Gaboon Viper in real life? Well, these fascinating creatures of illusion and disguise are commonly found in dense rainforests of, Africa. In rainforests, these intriguing animals like to spend most of their time on the ground or close to the ground. While some Gaboon Vipers prefer to stay on the edges of forests. So if you've ever wanted to see these fantastic animals up a close, I suggest you take a trip to Africa and try to find them, hidden underneath or between the edges of rainforests and floors.

"Ferns"

Has anyone noticed that New Zealand has a lot of sports teams that have the word "Fern"? Well, I'm here to show you three different sports teams with that word.

Silver Ferns


Black Ferns


Football Ferns

In my opinion, I prefer the FootBall Ferns uniform better.


Week 1 ~ Day 2 ~ Activity 1

Forest Life!

New Zealand's wildlife sure is interesting. In New Zealand, there's this one big tree called Tane Mahuta, One of New Zealand's biggest trees. Some people also like the call "Tane Mahuta" "Lord of the forest" because of its size. Someday I'd like to visit Tane Mahuta and side underneath its cool shade, maybe even eat food under it. I hope someday you consider visiting it too!


Week 1 - Task 3

Positive Footprint.


USE THESE TIPS TO PROTECT YOURSELF FROM PEDOPHILES.

Week 1 - Task 2

My hometown Wellington.

Wellington is an exquisite place to visit in my opinion. Although there can be strange weather changes, it is also a place filled with cultural people and friendly citizens. Speaking of friendly citizens, my cousins and aunties live in the capital, but one of the top 3 reasons why I love my hometown is the intriguing wildlife that lurks within their forests, like the Pukaha Mount Bruce.

Summer Learning Journey - #Task 2

Dear Mr Hadnett,

Today I've decided to go to Canada! The reason why I choose to visit Canada is that of the amazing animals I'll be able to see, like the Canada Lynx and the Beluga Whale. I've decided to visit the city of London and I'll be travelling by plane. Also, did you know that one of their national sports is Ice Hockey and their Too official languages are English and French?
