Summer Learning Journey: Day 2 : Week 2 | Activity 1

Today, I completed the first activity for day 2 of week 2 of the Summer Learning Journey. For this activity, we needed to watch This Video of somebody weaving some flax to create a fish. We then needed to create a blogpost explaining whether we would like to try flax weaving, if it interests us, and why or why not.

Yes I would one day want to try flax weaving. It does interest me, and I believe that it would make a great hobby. I find it interesting, as I remember when I was young, I saw someone weaving some flax, and I was amazed at how this large bit of flax was made into a beautiful flower.

Summer Learning Journey: Day 1 : Week 2 | Activity 1

Today I completed the first activity of day 1 of week 2 of the Summer Learning Journey. For this activity we needed to think of something that we like to do in the Summer. Once thought of we would post a picture showing us doing it. I thought of playing on parks, as during the Summer time in school, I tend to enjoy that activity. It keeps me in shape, there are different things I can do on a park, and I find it a great way to spend time.

Summer Learning Journey: Day 5 : Week 1 | Activity 1

Today I completed the first activity to day 5 of the first week of the Summer Learning Journey. For this activity, we had to pick a side on the issue with logging. Logging is the act of chopping down trees as a career. We had to decide whether we thought logging should be stopped or not, and why.

I don't think that logging should be stopped, but rather limited. Many trees are cut down year after year, and although it's an issue, it goes to a good cause. As it can support homes for people, be used in different structures, and facilities. Although I feel that logging has been taken to an extreme length, and that if less trees are cut down, the better New Zealand could be.

Summer Learning Journey: Day 4: Week 1 | Activity 1

Today I completed the first activity for day 4 of week 1 for the Summer Leaning Journey. For this activity, we needed to set ourselves in the situation that we were interviewing Sir Edmund Hillary. During the interview we could ask any 5 questions to him. What would we ask him?

1. Did you ever think that you would make a name for yourself by such a great achievement?
2. What did you miss most from home when climbing?
3. What motivated you to push yourself to such an extreme mission.
4. Was there any inspiration leading to this challenge?
5. Was the trip exciting, or was it terrifying knowing how dangerous the climb could be?

Summer Leaning Journey: Day 3 : Week 1 | Activity 1

Today, I completed the first activity for day 3 of the Summer Learning Journey. For this activity, we had to watch the trailer for Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them. Once seen we needed to create a beast of our own with a description. Here is mine.

Summer Learning Journey: Week 1 | Day 1 | Activity 1

Today, I completed the first activity for day 1, week 1 for the Summer Learning Journey. For this activity, we had to go to the Fun Facts About New Zealand website, and find 3 interesting facts to blog. This challenge was fairly easy, but I found a few things out, while knowing the rest.

Fact 1: In New Zealand, you must drive on the left side rather than the right.

Fact 2: The largest city in New Zealand is Auckland, although it isn't that capital.

Fact 3: There are no snakes in the country.
