Today for the Winter Learning Journey my first activity was to find three facts about New Zealand, and write them down in our own words.
Fact 1: 14.6% of New Zealand's population are Maori, that's 14.6% out of 4.4 MILLION people!
Fact 2: Before the atom was split in the earlier times of the 20th century, a lot of inventions had been created by Maori people in their backyards!
Fact 3: Because there is a lot of water around New Zealand, it is found that over 15% of New Zealand families own a boat.
The information that has been written above is by the website: http://www.newzealand.com/us/feature/new-zealand-people/
Hey Jack!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the Winter Learning Journey! It's so awesome that you've been able to join us these holidays and I hope you have enjoyed being a part of the programme and have learned some cool new things about NZ!
Wow - I can see you have completed all the activities already - well done! I look forward to checking out all your posts.
I love your fact about the Maori people! They are such an important part of our rich history and culture. How cool!
Thank you for crediting your work to the source you got it from!

ReplyDeleteThank you for commenting on my blogpost, well actually being the first. That's probably because I started late, but surprisingly accomplished to finish in 2 days! That's my record within the time of our school being apart of this. Ha! But quick question, do we have to publish on our blogs our comments we post on other peoples blogs? Or just post the comment?

Hi Jack!
DeleteIt's amazing what you can get done in a short amount of time huh?! I surprise myself sometimes with what I can get done when I don't procrastinate! Plus it's always a bonus beating your own past records! And you've done a quality job with them too!
Good question - you don't have to publish them on your blog, but it would be really helpful for our team if you did, just to make it easier when checking if you've done them and to ensure we award you all the points you deserve.
Hope that helps!
Nicky :)
Thank you Nicky.
ReplyDeleteI'll be sure to do that all on a big blogpost, just to give you guys that small boost of time for other people in this program. That will be happening quite soon, but there will be multiple posts for the different times I comment.

Hi Jack
ReplyDeleteGreat job on finishing your first winter learning journey activity. I had no idea that fifteen percent of New Zealander's own a boat. Keep up the amazing work.

ReplyDeleteHi Jack
ReplyDeleteNice facts! I like how you said that many inventions were created by Maori people in their own back yards! Do you know what things were invented?
Great job
Hello Jack, you have discovered some really great facts about New Zealand. Wow, I didn't that over 15% of New Zealand families own a boat. Keep up the great work and I can't wait to see some more activities.
