Summer Learning Week 1, Journey Day Four Activities 1,2,3

For the first task of day four of the summer learning journey was to post five questions to ask Sir Edmund Hilary. Here are my five.

1. How long did it take to master the art of Mountain climbing?

2. Have you ever had any injuries because of mountain Climbing?

3. What was your favourite mountain climbing trip and why?

4. Who has been the most supportive in your mountain climbing journey?

5. When did you find out you loved mountain climbing?

The second task is to say one of your favourite food and how to make it.

One of my favourite dishes is spaghetti bolognese. You make it by boiling spaghetti in hot water. While you are boiling the spaghetti, put some oil in a pan and then add mince. once the mince looks brown add whole peeled canned tomatos in the pan add any spices or herbs you want stir the pan. After a little while have a taste of the mince. if it tastes good serve the pasta onto a plate and put the bolognese on the spaghetti. add some grated cheese to the top while it's still hot and then serve.

The third task is to design my own hotel. I would build my hotel out of class and build it underwater near a healthy coral reef. I would make a pyramid entirely out of triangles. The only thing that won't be a triangle is the tube that goes up to the surface where there will be glass platforms going over the surface of the water. These platforms will allow the people staying at the hotel to go to the mainland and do what they want. People will want to explore the hotel as well so I will have a few extra large pyramids to be gaming rooms, common rooms, and galleries. So that the stayers at the hotel can eat I will have the biggest Pyramid in the centre of it all there will be an all you can eat Buffet. If I were to make a hotel this ambitious description of my hotels would be what I would have designed, and built.

Summer Learning Journey Week 1, Day Three Activities 1,2,3

The first activity is ton create your own fantastic beast. I ended up making a beast called a Slyfarn. It has the features of a camel, rhino, cow and crocodile, along with my own touches. The dangly bits underneath its mouth pick up noises and heat waves. The claws on the Slyfarns feet are poisonous and used for defence. The Slyfarn is an omnivore the only meat it eats being small birds and fish.

The next task was to list down three pros and three cons of being a ranger. My pros are you get to be around lots of animals, that you are working for a cause to keep animals safe, and that animals around you aren't usually scared of you like most animals are. My cons would be I spend most of my time around animals and not family and friends, My family have to live far away because they aren't aloud to live on an animal reserve, and taking care of the animals also means to clean up after them eeeeewwww. I wouldn't mind being a ranger because we get to be around  animals but I would rather want out help other people by being a doctor. I think i'd rather be a vet than a ranger.

The third task was to watch a video from the WWF about either freshwater seals or tigers and then answer in full sentences what the name of the animal is. What the WWF is doing to help this creature, and What, if any, success have they had in protecting the animal. 

The animal I chose are freshwater seals which live in Lake Baikal. The freshwater seals give birth to their pups on snowbanks, so the WWF are creating snowbanks for the seals to give birth to their pups in. Nothing tells me wether the progress has been good or not so i don't know if the progress is good or bad.

Summer Learning Journey Week 1, Day Two, Activities 1,2,3

The first task for day two of the summer learnig journey week one was to say why you would want to go to Tane Mahuta, the giant Kauri tree in northland.

I would want to go there because it is an amazing marvel of nature and what it can do. The tree is very famous and I would want to go visit because its a really awesome tree and its amazing that its grown so big. It will also be amazing to go there with my family and friends to marvel at the amazing creation of nature.

The second task is to list three sports teams that have the word fern in their teams title, and post a picture of their uniform next to the list of sports names. After I do that I have to say what my favourite uniform is and why I like it the most.

• Silver ferns

• Black ferns

• White ferns

My favourite uniform is the white ferns uniform because it has one of my favourite colours, and it looks original. It is not like the Black ferns uniform which almost looks exactly like the all blacks rugby uniform, and it isn't a dress like the silver ferns uniform (I have nothing wrong with dresses i love dresses just not dresses that look like they might show your bloomers). Plus the uniform looks really comfortable.

The second activity is a maths problem. The maths problem is 3ml times 365. I decided to work it out on my notebook and multiplied by cutting down the biggest variable into 300, 60, and five. I multiplied them by three one by one and got 1095.

Summer Learning Journey Week 1, Day One, Activity 1,2,3

The first task in the summer learning journey is to list down three facts from this website and share three facts in my own words. Here are those three facts

• When you are driving in New Zealand you always have to drive on your left.
• 30% of New Zealand is forest and bush.
• New Zealand is one of the three countries with 2 national anthems with epual status, God defend New Zealand and God save the queen.

I hope you enjoyed the blog post of three facts told in my own words.

The second task was to write down why I love my hometown. Here it is.

My City is Auckland but I live near Point England in the east side of the north island. I really like living there because it has a great school the gives children different opportunities, and the beach is so nice. The sand is nice and hot between your toes and the water is nice and calm and fun to swim in.

Task number three was to write down how to be cybersmart inside of a foot. Here it is.

Tea Bag Flame Science Explanation

Today in room four our teacher Mrs Stone decided to show us a tea bag trick. She got rid of the tea leaves inside of the tea bag and unfolded it. She made the teabag a pipe of sorts. Once she set it down on the chair she lit it on fire. The fire moved down the tea bag and then it flew into the air.

But why did it fly? How does it happen? Its all because of the heat. Heat is a form of energy and it always rises. Its like a hot air balloon the hot air that goes into the air pushes against the walls of the tea bag and once the fire reaches the bottom of the tea bag, the tea bag remains fly into the air.

If my explanation wasn't good enough click this link to understand further and see what i'm talking about.

Te Wa Toi art Project.

For Te Wa Toi I decided to make a heart with a manaiakalani hook in the middle. I carved in the words I love you P.E.S From Bethan. The hook represents the school and the manaiakalani cluster. The heart represents MY love and the red of the heart represents my passion and how much I love Pt England school.

The heart was the easiest design and i felt that it would be a bit boring so i decided to etch a design into the heart, and that design was the hook. I hope you think it looks okay.
