PBS Blogging Journey

For this PBS Blogging Journey activity, the task is to: Create a DLO providing the opening times and all the ticket prices. Full bonus points in you add a image and attribute it. I find it weird how Kelly Tarltons charges you less if you order online rather than paying the walk up price. 

PBS Blogging Journey

For this PBS Blogging Journey activity, the task is to: Choose one of the sea creatures in Kelly Tarltons and make an info-graphic about them. Full points in you include an image and attribute it. I decided to choose one of the seahorses called the Big Bellied Seahorse. It is a very big seahorse and looks pretty funny because it's belly is so big.

PBS Blogging Journey

For this PBS Blogging Journey Activity, the task was to: Visit the Kelly Tarlton's website to find out how much it would cost for you to go there. Use your smart searching skills to find out much it would cost for your family to visit the aquarium. It would cost me $22 if I pay online or $27 if I pay when I get there. It would cost my family $127 if we pay online (Family B ticket + Child ticket) or $159 if we pay when I get there.

Winter Learning Journey

For this activity in the winter learning journey I had to read about how people in New Zealand are working to kill pests like possums, form a opinion and give three reasons why I think that way. I agree with the New Zealanders who are killing these pests and I think all the pests should be killed because:

1. The pests damage native trees
2. The pests could be killing New Zealand native animals like the kokako (By eating their eggs/chicks)
3. Possums are also a hazard for farms, costing them around $35 million every yeat

Winter Learning Journey

For this winter learning journey activity, I had to go to a website and chose a animal I would like to adopt. I would like to adopt the great spotted kiwi. Here are some facts about the great spotted kiwi:

Diet: Earthworms, grubs, beetles, crickets, flies

Habitat: Three places in the South Island (Northwestern Nelson, North Westland and in the Southern Alps, near Lake Rotoiti)

Type of animal: Mammal

Threats/predators: Dogs, cats, ferrets, stoats

Summer Learning Journey

For this holiday reading challenge activity, I had to use a currency exchanger to find out how much a return ticket to these countries (Below) costs. For example, it costs 826 Australian dollars for a return ticket from New Zealand to Australia, so I converted the Australian dollars to NZ dollars to see how much NZ dollars it cost. The least expensive country to visit is Australia and the most expensive country to visit is Mexico. I think that Australia is the cheapest because it is so close, and Mexico is the most expensive because it is so far away.

Summer Learning Journey

I have to imagine that I have been asked to create my own airline. I would name it Auckland Airlines (AA) and here is my logo for it:

I named my airline Auckland Airlines because I live in Auckland so it wouldn’t make sense if I created a airlines that was called something like England airlines or American airlines.

Summer Learning Journey

For this summer learning journey activity I have to watch two videos on how to stay safe on a aeroplane and then I have to list three things that you have to do to stay safe on a aeroplane.

Here are the three things you need to do to stay safe on a aeroplane:

One: Loose items you have brought on board must be secured

Two: Make sure you clip your seat belt on

Three: If a mask from above your head comes down, pull it down and place it over your mouth and nose

Winter Learning Journey

For this winter learning journey task I had to write a poem. I had to write a poem about how I would feel if I was a reporter and I was being paid to attend the Olympic games and report on the golf/rugby competitions. 
I would be nervous, and scared out of my wits
I would rather be in a blitz
Then, I took a pause and realized how lucky I was
To get to watch the athletes and see the people applause
   

Winter Learning Journey

For this winter learning journey I had to take a picture of myself pretending to be playing one of the 28 Olympic sports. I pretended to play Judo (I was actually in my dressing gown because I didn't know what else to do for it). 

Winter Learning Journey

For this activity (Activity 7) I had to visit the website for the 2016 Rio Olympics and look at all of the sports they are doing. I then had to find one that I have not heard about (For me it was Judo) and find out the name of the sport, the aim of the sport and two rules for the sport.

Name of sport: Judo

Aim of sport: Competitors must throw their opposition onto the floor to win.

Two rules: You cannot injure your opponent and you are not allowed to touch the other person.
