Week Two- Day One | Maths Riddle
Activity 2
For this activity, we would like you to calculate Jessa’s age when she
won the NAIDOC Youth of the Year award. She was born on 7 April
1985 and she received the award on 9 July 2010. Please provide the
answer to this question in years, months and days (eg. 20 years, 6
months and 2 days).
On your blog, please post both your final answer and an explanation
of how you solved this maths problem. You could write your explanation,
or use screencastify to record yourself explaining how you solved it.
There are many ways I could of figured this question out but it wasn’t very hard at all.
I first started off with the years. I went, 2010 ( the year Jessa got the award) subtract
the year she was born which gave me answer 25 years. For months, since Jessa was born
on July 7th, I went , the 7th of April, 7th of May, right up to the 7th of July. From 7th of April
to 7th of July from what I figured out its 3 months exactly. Jessa wasn’t awarded this award on
the 7th of July, she got the award on the 9th of July, so then for the days it was two. So Jessa
was 25 years, 3 months and 2 days old when we was given the award on the 7th of July 2010.
Week Two- Day One | ‘Dear Jacinda’
Activity 3
For this activity, please write a letter that includes the issue you have chosen,
why you have chosen it, and what you would like our Prime Minister, Jacinda
Ardern, to do about it. It is your job to persuade us (and her!) that it’s an
important issue.
On your blog, share your letter to Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern.
I have chosen to right a ltter to Jacinda Ardern about climate change because it
is one of the major issues in New Zealabd that is happening and needs to be
fixed right away.
Dear Jacinda,
Have you ever considered doing something about climate change? Climate change is when
greenhouse gases in the atmosphere cause temperature patterns to heat up and trigger the
environment to change around us. Climate change is a major issue all throughout the world, but
if New Zealanders take action now we can change that.
Most companies have tried to stop using plastics and non-biodegradable items, but we need to
completely get rid of them. Things like, containers, straws, bottles, bags, can all be changed from
plastics into cardboard or paper quite easily.
The main reason why people don’t want to do these things is because of the costs involved.
Paying for things that would make a positive difference to our world would be a great thing to do,
but the money individuals, companies and governments need to spend is hard for some people.
To prevent this from happening anymore we could start to create charities and donations where
people can donate any amount of money they want to help our country and even bigger our world.
Another reason New Zealanders can resolve this is the governments taking a little more money
out the money people get paid for working, just like taxes.
Did you know that in 2014, there were 1.2 billion drivers in the world? Can you even imagine how
much carbon monoxide is being produced in the world? All vehicles release a lot of gases every
time you turn on your car and drive around. Even doing manageable things like walking, biking
or using buses for loads of people to use at once would be an improvement.
To tell people in New Zealand what you and the government are going to do to help, we need to
spread this around the country. We can do that by the news, papers, articles on shop windows,
and even on ads when being online. We need to spread what everyone needs to do to help and
governments and companies too, fast, before climate change becomes unbearable and incapable
to handle.
Hola Jennae,
ReplyDeleteIt’s Leisha here from the Summer Learning Journey. I hope you are enjoying your summer break! What fun things have you been up to so far?
Firstly, thank you for sharing your 5 favourite things to do. That gymnastic tumble looks tricky! How long have you been doing gymnastics for? I can tell you must keep yourself very busy with all the activities you do with sports, piano and a paper run!
Secondly, ka pai for completing activities 2 and 3 too! Well done for calculating Jessa’s age correctly :) I am also very impressed with your letter to Jacinda Ardern about climate change. You have included many reasons to support why you think doing something about climate change is so important. I like that you have included ways that she would help make these changes such as spreading awareness around and to get rid of plastics and non-biodegradable items. Have you done some of your own research about climate change to find out these facts? I can tell this is something you feel quite passionately about. Thank you for sharing.
Keep up the amazing work Jennae. I am looking forward to reading more of your posts over the next couple of weeks.
Leisha
:)
