Summer Blogging

For this activity I have to list five major landmarks in New Zealand. A star next to a landmark means I have personally seen it. 

Number One: Auckland harbour bridge  Image result for star
Number Two: Sky Tower Image result for star
Number Three: Waitomo Caves Image result for star

Number Four: Te Papa Museum 

Number Five: Lake Taupo

  1. Hi Daniel,

    I see that you just recently posted this blog. It's great to see that you're so actively involved. I love logging on to read your blogs. Keep up the great work!

    I also love to see that you have chosen five interesting landmarks in New Zealand. I, too, have been to the Auckland Harbour Bridge and the Sky Tower but I have yet to go to the Waitomo Caves. Are they pretty spectacular? Is it worth going to see them?

    I can highly recommend going to visit Te Papa and Lake Taupo. I have been lucky enough to visit both places a few times and was blown away by the exhibitions in the museum and by the sheer size and scale of Lake Taupo. I have to warn you that it can get very windy around the lake, though, so you'll want to visit it during summer. The last time that I was there was last August and my colleague, Stefanie, and I got caught in a hail storm. It was terribly cold and very windy!

    I hope that you continue to explore the Summer Learning Journey site and find some activities that interest you. There are 6 more days left in the programme and plenty of fun activities to do in Days 1-9.

    Hope to see you back online and blogging again tomorrow!

    Cheers,

    Rachel

  2. Hi Daniel,

    These 5 landmarks you chose are interesting. If you get the chance you should go to Te Papa. I am sure you would really like it. There are so many different things to see. I really enjoyed it when I went.

    1. HI Daniel and Aminiasi,

      I completely agree with Aminiasi's recommendations. In fact, I am going to go down to Wellington in May to see the World War I exhibit that they have on site. Apparently it is truly amazing! I hope that you get there before it (the World War I - Gallipoli exhibit) closes next year

      Cheers,
      Rachel
