SMJ week 1 day 5 activity 3 If New Zealand sank

Life in New Zealand was great everything is amazing and I love the beach, (Mission Bay) I like Rainbows End I also love the Sky Tower but it is very scary to go up and my favourite thing about New Zealand is going up North and kayaking.

SLJ week 1 day 5 activity 2 Tundra

Dear Danny I have come back from Tundra and I had a very great experience there. I have seen big mountains and I have climbed them too.
I have also seen a lot of animals there too the place has mostly farm areas and the temperature was not that good but not that bad. I had a lot of fun at the place and maybe you could go there too.

Yours sincerely
Alex 

SLJ- week 1 day 5 activity 1 Logging

I  think that logging is very bad because, cutting down tress is bad for the environment a lot of animals lose there homes because of logging, also trees produce oxygen for us and cutting down the trees, we humans lose oxygen and the less oxygen its going to be hard for people to breathe.

Summer Learning Journey Week 1 day 2 activity 3 MATHS

Activity 3: Weird and Wonderful [10 points]

New Zealand is just one of many countries that has amazing plants and trees. In fact, the African desert is home to some pretty incredible plants, like the cactus. Some cacti are able to survive on as little as 3 millilitres (ml) of water a day. Wow!

Let’s imagine that you are given a cactus for your birthday. To keep it alive, you must give it 3 ml of water every day.

Over one full year, how much water will you need to give your cactus plant?

On your blog, tell us how to solve this maths 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 in millilitres (ml).

For an year you would have to feed your cactus 1,095ML.

DAY 2: Forest Life

Activity 1: Giants Among Us [4 points]

New Zealand has a really special environment. Many of the plants and trees found in New Zealand are not found anywhere else in the world. These plants and trees are endemic to our country.  In New Zealand, one of the largest and longest living endemic trees is the NZ Kauri tree. Kauri are mainly found in three regions of New Zealand: the Coromandel, Auckland and Northland. The largest Kauri tree in the country is in the Waipoua Forest in Northland. It is called Tāne Mahuta. Some people refer to it as the ‘Lord of the Forest.’

Thousands of people go to visit Tāne Mahuta every year. Would you like to be one of those people who got to see Tāne Mahuta in real life? Why or why not?

On your blog, tell us whether you would like to go and visit Tāne Mahuta one day. Be sure to tell us why you do (or do not) want to visit this endemic tree.

I would really want to see Tane Mahuta in real life because I'm really astonished that us kiwis have the biggies Kauri tree in the world.

Summer learning Journey Wk 1 day 1 activity 3 Ice Ice baby

Activity:
 Antarctica is the world’s coldest continent. Even though it is made up of ice, it is also the driest continent in the world. In fact, it hasn’t rained there for nearly 2 million years! It is home to many animals such as whales, seals, birds, and fish. There are no permanent human residents (people who live there all the time) in Antarctica, however scientists do visit and stay in Antarctica for a while to study it.

This year the airline, Air New Zealand, filmed their safety video in Antarctica. They used some fabulous actors from Hornby Primary School in Christchurch. Just like on aeroplanes, we also need to keep safe and be smart online. We need to think about the type of information we are sharing online, who we are sharing information with, and how to have a positive digital footprint.

On your blog, make a copy of this footprint and, inside the footprint, explain how you create a positive, digital footprint. What do you do to stay smart online?.

Here are 5 ways to stay smart
