For this summer learning journey activity, the task was to: On your blog, post a picture of your favourite meal. Be sure to tell us what it is and why it is your favourite. You could also include the recipe if you have it so that we can all try it!

My favorite meal is fish and chips. I like it a lot because it's a family meal that we usually buy together and I like how it tastes (especially when you put a ton of tomato sauce on it).

For this PBS Blogging Journey activity, the task was to: Find different adventurous activities that you can do at the Sky Tower and say which one would you choose, why would you choose it and how much would it cost. At the Sky Tower, you can do the Sky Jump and the Sky Walk. I would choose the Sky Jump because in that activity, you jump off the Sky Tower and that sounds like heaps of fun and the Sky Walk only involves you walking around on a 1.2 meter platform 192 meters up. The Sky Jump costs $225 for a adult and $175 for a child.

Summer Learning Journey

For this summer learning journey activity I have to say whether bullfighting in Spain should be banned. Bullfighting is when people (Called toreros and matadors) fight a live bull. The toreros do most of the work and have to tie the bull up. The matadors then kill the bull. 30% of Spain’s population think that bullfighting should be banned and I agree with them. My first reason is that bullfighting is very dangerous and someone could be killed or badly hurt. My second reason is that a lot of bulls might die because the matador kills the bull.
