Going, going….gone/ summer learning journey

Hi Blogger

The thing I love about new zealand is that it is a beautiful country which has two islands, the north island and the sought Island, I live in the South Island in a place called Christchurch.
I love the lovely clean beaches and the lovely forests that we can we can go for walks in.
We have very beautiful theatres all over New Zealand and I love going to watch the shows.
New Zealand have lovely people such as the Maori, English, Asian, South Africans and is a country to welcomes people to live here.
I like the summers because I can have fun at the beach with family and friend.
The winter are cold and we have snow in the mountains in the south Island and I like to go sledding with my family, we have to dress very warm.

Living on the Edge/summer learning journey

Dear Keah

I'm in tundra that means treeless place and is on top of the world by the north pole. It is very cold and the ground is always frozen and that is why nothing can grow here.
We have to wear lots of thick clothes to keep warm. The only animals that can live here are foxes and wolves and sometimes birds will come for a little while but then have to leave. We need to be careful of the wolves.
The temperature get to below 12 degrees and  the sun only shines for 50-60 days of the year and shines 24 hours a day.

The WWF/ Summer Learning Journey 2018/19

My clip i chose to watch was the one about the tigers but i couldn't watch it as it keep coming up with video not available

My answers to the questions are:

1. The WWF is working to safe the Samiaa ringed seal with only 360 individuals left.

2. The WWF is building snow banks so they have a safe area to have their pups in, because if they are born in the open they have no protection against predators.

3. They dont know yet as they still need a long term plan and need to act fast to help safe the animals over longer period and not just the pups.

The Secretive skink/ Summer Learning Journey 2018/19

I would love to be a DOC ranger on Great Barrier Island or anywhere in New Zealand because I love to safe animals and also love our wildlife.

My pros and cons for being a DOC Ranger is

Pros:

1.  Protecting the native animals and plants from New Zealand as there is a big amount of native animals and plants that is in danger of extinct. The animals and plants of New Zealand is very important to me.
2. Protecting historic sites as these teach us allot about New Zealand history.
3. Sharing my information and what i have learned about the area i work in with other people.

Cons:

1. Maintaining or cleaning the toilets as this can be disgusting. 
2. Having to be outside in the rain sometimes. 
3. Enforcing the by laws of marine life as this can be dangerous because you don't know who you will have to do this to.

Fantastic beast / summer learning journey 2018/19

My night beast the Shadow Screamer is vicious, dangerous and ginormous and it lives in the mountains of New Zealand in a deep dark cave.  It only comes out at night and if  you live by the mountains  you can  hear it roaring. Never go in the cave because if you  are lucky to escape the cave the Shadow screamer will haunt your shadow for the rest of your life.

Camping Trip

“I guess this is what the wilderness feels like.” John said to himself. Standing there in the woods, he couldn’t believe he had agreed to go on a camping trip with his cousins. He’d always been scared of new experiences. John noticed that his cousins were unpacking the camping gear while his Uncle Jim was setting up the tent. Suddenly, John felt a little bad about not helping. “Hey, Uncle Jim, what can I do to help?” he asked, trying to sound confident. “Why don’t you gather some firewood?”Uncle Jim answered. “Um, sure” John replied. “Where do they keep it?” Uncle Jim gave John a curious look. “We are in the woods John, just look around for some clean and dry wood.”

Based on the story… do you think John will enjoy the camping trip?
