Winter Learning Journey: Day 7 | BONUS ACTIVITY + What I Have Learnt

Throughout this week I've had a lot of fun learning about New Zealand, and especially loved sharing what I did on my blog. Each day of learning I had so much fun and did so many exiting activities and challenges. This could not have been possible if Rachel (The creator of this activity) decided not to start this awesome program. Commenting was just as much of fun knowing I can see how people have done what I have also, but differently.

Winter Learning Journey: Day 7 | Activity 2

For the second activity of day 7 for the Winter Learning Journey, we had to take an photo of our self relaxing. What I took a photo of was me lying down on a mattress resting from all the work I had previously done.

For the first activity of day 7 for the Winter Learning Journey, we had to come up with three ways we could make our neighbourhood clean.

1.  Put your rubbish in the correct bins. (Rubbish Bin, Recycling Bin).

2. Pick things up from the ground instead of leaving them there.

3. Do what you can to grow other plants for more existing life around you.

For the day 6 bonus activity for the Winter Learning Journey, we watched 3 videos of the All Blacks doing the haka. We had to watch all three, and rate them by the best - worst. I've put them in order of what I rate them.

Event 3: Watch Te Papa's first Matariki Ritual

Winter Learning Journey: Day 6 | Activity 1

For the first activity of day 6 for the Winter Learning Journey, we learnt about the first waka that came to New Zealand. We had a challenge to write a poem about what we would feel if we were on that waka, and what you would see.

My Poem: We are travelling travelling travelling travelling travelling across the water.
I think i'm scared I think i'm scared, or maybe by just a quarter.
There are hills and pits rivers and spits and many many mountains.
There are a lot of things here, and I might just need to count them.

Winter Learning Journey: Day 5 | BONUS ACTIVITY

For day fives bonus activity for the Winter Learning Journey, we were asked a question whether we would ever want to ride across the Otago Rail Trail one day. Once we say whether we would or wouldn't, we have to say why / why not.

My Answer: I would like to ride across the Otago Rail Trail one day.
Reason: It's a good exercise, and gets me out of the house doing something physical.

Winter Learning Journey: Day 5 | Activity 2

For the second activity of day 5 for the Winter Learning Journey, our activity was to research a famous New Zealander. We had to write their name, where they were born, why they're famous, and two facts about them.

Winter Learning Journey: Day 5 | Activity 1

For the first activity of day 5 for the Winter Learning Journey, we had to pretend that we got lost in a New Zealand Forest. We have to write 8-10 sentences at least about what we would feel, think.

I've just lost my group in a mysterious forest, and I don't know what to do. I don't know whether someone in my group will notice i'm gone very soon. There are bugs and animals everywhere, and I think I've had about 4 of them crawl up my back. I can hear lots of birds chirping from the trees above, but I think there's something else up there peering down at my existence. It's getting darker and I really hope someone will eventually find me. It's now 7:37 PM and I'm getting really scared that I'll stay lost for the next DAY! I need to find shelter sooner or later otherwise I'll get too cold. I think someone is near, I've been shouting at them and they're coming towards me. I hope it's my group.

Winter Learning Journey: Day 4 | BONUS ACTIVITY

For the bonus activity of day 4 for the Winter Learning Journey, we had to make our opinion whether we think fishing in Farewell Spit should be banned. I think it shouldn't unless people are using nets, killing fish without eating them, and only catching about 12 a month maximum.

Winter Learning Journey: Day 4 | Activity 2

For the second activity of day 4 for the Winter Learning Journey, we had to watch the two trailers for the old Maori movie Whale Rider. We had to write a small description about the movie, and then rate it our of five.

Description: It's about a girl named Paikea whose brother who was supposed to be the next chief of a Maori tribe dies at birth. Only men are allowed to be chief of their Maori tribe. Paikea doesn't agree and wants to win over her grandfather Rawiri Paratene.

My Rating: I give this movie a 4 out of 5 and would some day want to watch it.

Winter Learning Journey: Day 4 | Activity 1

For the first activity of day 4 for the Winter Learning Journey, I learnt about the recent whales that were beached (Swam to the shore and got stuck). Our activity was to visit a site that talked about what happened, and on our blogs we had to describe what people did and saw.

People could see so many whales all across the shore, birds all around them, and many people trying to save them. It's said it was "like a grave yard with 300 dead whales". A lot of the whales were bleeding, and running out of water to keep them from becoming dead. People tried to save them by poring water over them and their blowholes.

Winter Learning Journey: Day 3 | Activity 2

For the second activity of day three for the Winter Learning Journey, we had to make a blog-post about we agree that we should kill all pests, and give at least three reasons why.

Do I Agree On This? Answer: Yes, I do, but not completely.

Reason 1: Pests kill a lot of endangered animals up to extinction.

Reason 2: Pests are very dangerous things, they don't only attack animals or other small things, but also can attack us.

Reason 3: They do more than just kill small things, they can do other things too that do not help.

Winter Learning Journey: Day 3 | Activity 1

For the first activity of day 3 for the Winter Learning Journey, we had to pretend that we adopted an animal from This Place, and write on our blogs about them. I chose a brown kiwi, and here are some facts about them.

Eats: insects, worms, spiders, grubs and berries.

Lives: North Island of New Zealand.

Females are lager than males.

Predators: Cats, Dogs, Possums, Hedgehogs, Rodents, Weasels.

Winter Learning Journey: Day 2 | BONUS ACTIVITY

Winter Learning Journey: Day 2 | Activity 2

For the second activity of day 2 for the Winter Learning Journey, I learnt about a girl named Laura Dekker who sailed around the entire world. So what I was told to do for this activity was to think of 5 question I would ask if I could meet Laura Dekker. There was a video we could watch about Laura Dekker, but I decided to have fun and do the activity with no information about her except for what she did.

Question 1: What risks came from you sailing around the entire world?

Question 2: Did you have any way to communicate to other people?

Question 3: How long did this trip take?

Question 4: What food and drink did you have on your boat?

Question 5: Were you sick when you finished your trip?
