Pūkeko

Sharp, curved red beak snaps shut with grubby worms and buzzing insects in it mouth. Beautiful blue and black feathers flow out through its oval body. Tall thin straw like grass overgrown over the top of me, keeping me hidden from scaring hawks. You would usually find me near moist and wet swamps.

Activity 2 Week Three Day Three (4 Points)
Success Criteria:On your blog, tell us what superpower you would like to

have and why you’d like to have it.

A superpower I would really want to have is to control water. I would want to do this because have you seen movies than can control it and even when it is in a cup of water the use their hand to lift a cylinder of water. It would be awesome to control the ocean as well like the waves and I would also want to control the weather because in Greymouth other when it is Summer it is usually cloudy with pouring or sprinkling rain so it would be really cool to change the weather.

Some foods I would like to put into my special draining sink that I don't like are egg shells, tomato, cucumber, pineapple, celery ,sliced pumpkin,parsnips and radish.

Activity 3 Week Three Day Two (10 Points)
Success Criteria:Let’s imagine that we tested the air in your classroom and found 7 different kinds of mould. Eek! The cleaner says that it takes 5 days for each mould to be eradicated (removed). If the school had to remove each mould one at a time, how long would it take to remove all the mould from the classroom?

On your blog, tell us how you would solve this tricky maths problem. Be sure to also post your final answer in days or weeks.

To figure this out the cleaner said it would take 5 days for one of the moulds to get removed. To work this maths problem out from here you go, since it said 5 days for 1 mould it would be another 5 for 2 moulds which equals 10 days for 2 moulds. You then go up in the 5 times tables like shown below. Once you get to the end your answer should be it taken 35 days (5 weeks) for 7 moulds to get removed from the classroom.

Summer Learning Journey Week Three Day One Activity 1,2 and 3

Activity 1 Week Three Day  One (4 points)
Success Criteria: On your blog, tell us what time of year you think is best for

tourists for come and visit. Be sure to share at least three things that tourists

could do while they were here in NZ.

I think the best time of year for the tourists to come and visit it the winter time

when it is snowing. I think this because in other countries they may not have

snow to play with and have a look at it could all be new to them. If I was in a

country with no snow and I came to New Zealand I would definitely love to see

snow in person.

Two activities  tourists could do when they come down here in the South Island

of New Zealand is to go skiing at Porters Heights and also snowboarding.

I have done skiing before I would recommend it, it was really, really fun to do

and it was my first time this year but I have never tried snowboarding but it
seems difficult to learn and master.

The third activity tourists could do in the winter time is you could get boogie

boards and go down hills on them, though some of them might not be children
anymore. So an activity for the adults is to go ice skating. I have done this before

it is so fun. I recommend this activity to the adults and children tourists.

Activity 2 Week Three Day One (4 Points)
Success Criteria:On your blog, list five different things that we can do to protect
ourselves from the sun this summer! Read the Sunsmart website.

1. Apply heaps of sunblock to your skin to the places where your skin is exposed to the sun.
2. Just because you have sunblock on doesn’t mean your sunsmart you need a sunhat to cover your face from the sun as well.
3. The best thing to do is to put on a long sleeved t-shirt.
4. The next thing to do is to put a pair of sunglasses on to protect your eyes from UV radiation.
5. If you don’t want to get sunburnt you can also sit under a shady tree or gazebo.

Activity 3 Week Three Day One (15 Points)
Success Criteria:While it can get hot in New Zealand, especially in the middle of summer, it gets even hotter in places like Dallol (Ethiopia), Dasht-e Loot (Iran), Tirat Zvi (Israel), Kabili (Tunisia) and Bandar-e Mahshahr (Iran).

The hottest temperature on record in each place is: Dallol: 41oC; Dasht-e Loot: 71oC;

Tirat Zvi: 54oC; Kabili: 55oC; Bandar-e Mahshahr: 51oC. Crazy ‘eh?!

For this activity, you are asked to use this information to create a graph. The graph should have a title along with the names of each city and their hottest recorded temperatures. You can draw the graph by hand or use a computer programme like Google Draw to create your graph. It’s completely up to you!

Above The Horizon

As I walk across the roof to the edge of the building I put my hand in my pocket.
I grab by huge phone, type in the password and click onto the camera logo.
My beautiful face appears onto the screen. I lift one leg onto the ledge then the
next steadying myself so I wouldn’t fall. I admired the view for ages, suddenly I said
“okay stop getting distracted, I have to take this photo before I fall off.” I then slowly
and gracefully lifted the phone towards my face with the buildings below behind me.
Snap, I took the photo. As I jump down off the ledge looking happy with the photo in my hand I admire the view once more.

This view reminded me of Italy how all the buildings had been built close to
the water.

Summer Learning Journey Week Two/Day Four Activity 1

Activity 1 Week Two Day Four [4 points]
Success Criteria: Let’s imagine that you had the chance to visit Milford Sound by boat, foot (walking) or air (helicopter). Which option would you prefer? On your blog tell us which of the three options you would take to explore Milford Sound out
of a Helicopter, walking or boat. Be sure to tell us why you have chosen this option.

If I was going to the milford sounds I would travel in a helicopter. I would want to travel by a helicopter because when you fly over mountains,
rivers, forests and even the ocean there would be an amazing view from above
it all. I would also like to travel by a helicopter because I have never been on a helicopter in my life so far and it would be a great experience for me.

Summer Learning Journey Week Two/Day Two Activity 3

Activity 3 Week Two, Day Two, Plants(10 Points)
Success Criteria: Follow this link to read about 10 of the strangest plant species
in the world. When you are finished, choose two of the plants from the list. On your blog,
list three similarities and three differences between the two plants that you chose.
To earn five extra bonus points, post a picture of both plants on your blog.

I chose the two plants called the venus flytrap and the pitcher plant.

Simlarities                                                                  

1)The venus flytrap consumes flies and the pitcher plant can consume mice so they both
consume something.
2) Both of these two plants are carnivorous. That means both of the plants eats small insects
and animals as food.
3) They are both very hard to find and really rare.

Differences

1) A difference is that the venus flytrap catch their prey by closing their lobes when a insect
comes in contact with the plant then opens and sucks it in. The pitcher plant has this special
type of fluid inside of it that attracts their prey.
2) Both of these plants looks very different. The pitcher plant looks like a sack hanging from a
stem and the venus fly trap looks like a noxious weed that has a comb on the end.
3)The venus flytrap is safe to your pets and the pitcher plant can cause harm to your pets.

superhero.

Hulk is part of the avengers team. He is a really strong superhero because when

through walls and seems to kill them easily or scare them away. This happens when people
drive him mad or stressed. Also when people attack him
Hulk doesn’t even move he keeps walking and can’t feel it because he is so tough.
