Arguably, one of the most dramatic and spectacular (beautiful) places to visit in New Zealand is Milford Sound. It has been referred to as the ‘eighth wonder of the world.’ It is a beautiful fiord (steep valley) that was formed when big pieces of ice (glaciers) melted. The melted glaciers created a beautiful river that is surrounded by dramatic cliffs and snow-capped mountains. People who visit Milford Sound are able to take a boat cruise through the middle of the fiord, walk around the area on the Milford Track or fly above the fiord as part of a private helicopter tour.

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. Be sure to tell us why you have chosen this option.

If I was too choose to either visit Milford Sound by boat, foot (walking), or air (helicopter) I would choose to go on the helicopter. Why? One reason is because when your high in the Sky you can see the beautiful view of Milford Sound. My second reason is because I like flying on both helicopters and planes because one day I would want to become a pilot when I grow up. Another reason why is because if there is a natural disaster you can get away easier than walking and on the cruise. So those are the reasons why I would go on a helicopter.

Rotorua is one of New Zealand’s most popular tourist destinations. It is a city filled with incredible forests, mountain biking tracks, lakes, and geothermal wonders, including hot springs (geysers) and mud pools. One of the most famous geothermal pools is called the Devil’s Bath at Wai-o-Tapu Thermal Wonderland. It is a neon green pool of stinky water.

Over the years, people have suggested that we come up with a new name for the pool. What do you think we should call it? Take a minute to let your creative juices flow.

On your blog, give us a list of three to five options for the name of this geothermal pool. Put a star (*) beside the name that you like the most. 

Name 1 - Stinky Lido *

Name 2 - Grassy Baths *

Name 3 - Hell's Pathway *

Name 4 - Hallogreen Waterways *

While New Zealand is home to some beautiful waterfalls, there are a number of stunning waterfalls in places like Canada and South Africa. In Canada, the largest waterfall is called Niagara Falls. It sits on the border between Canada and the United States of America. Thousands of tourists flock (go) to Niagara Falls every year to see the falls and to have their picture taken in front of this natural wonder. Over the past few years people have started taking ‘selfies’ and posting them online. Do you ever take selfies?

For this activity, choose one of the following three selfies. From left to right: Selfie #1, Selfie #2, Selfie #3

On your blog, write a short story about what you think is happening in the picture. Be sure to tell us where you think the people are and what you think they were doing at the time that they stopped to pose for the selfie. To earn full points, the story must be 8 – 10 sentences long.

I've decided to choose #Selfie 1. In this picture I think that he people taking the selfie are at the stadium watching either a cricket or soccer game. I think one of the players from the sport that is happening has come to take a selfie with the fans. I also think that the selfie has been taken after the sports that has happened. Or even they took a selfie during the game because the man who came to take a selfie with then got a score or hit the ball so high and far. I know that their six mens taking a selfie including the player. This must be a sports game because the player that has come to take a selfie with them has a sports jersey on them.

Myself - I would call myself a night owl because I usually stay awake and either watch movies or play on my Xbox One S. 

2 Brothers - I call them night owls as well because there like me playing games and watching videos on you tube.

This week for the Summer Learning Journey I needed to Solve a math problem. The math problem was A colossal squid can weigh as much as 495 kilograms (kg) the average adult can lift 25 kg and the average child can lift 15 kg. How many adults and children will it take to move the giant squid into its new room at Te Papa? This answer that I have came up with is 33 adults and 8 kids. Here is my working out. 315+25+25+25+25+20+20+20+20+= 495. Did you know that the Colossal Squid can weigh as much as 495 kilograms which is approximately 500 kilograms.

Today for the Summer Learning Journey I have completed Week 2 Day 3 activities. The activities I completed was based on a maths questions abut clossal squids, another activity based on the ingredients about Samoan Pancakes or panekeke in Samoan, and the other activity based on weather you were a night owl or early riser. The activity I enjoyed most was the activity based on the ingredients of the Samoan pancakes because once I finished the ingredients I told my mum and she actually cooked. It was delicous!

Summer Learning Journey|Week 2 Day 2 Activities

Today for the Summer Learning Journey I've completed Week 2 Day 2 activities. The activities were based on the following: White Baneberry & Hydnellum Peckii plants, Ven Diesel, and flaxing. The activity I enjoyed the most was the task based on Ven Diesel because I got to write about how strong and tough Ven Diesel is. For this activity I was to choose someone who I thought is strong and tough, It could be a friend, family member or even an actor which is why I picked Ven Diesel. In my opinion Week 2 Day 2 has the best activities out of all the Summer Learning Journey activities. 

Summer Learning Journey|Week 2|Day 1 Activities

Today I have completed Week 2, Day 1 activities for the Summer Learning Journey. The activities I've done for this week is weather or not the questions written down on the third DLO is true or false, the great Taupo Cycle Challenge, and what you like doing during the Summer Holidays. I mostly enjoyed the great Taupo Cycle Challenge because I didn't know there was a cycle challenge held in Taupo. For this activity I was to write down three friends or families that I would take as my support crew. I decided to choose my older brother Gozan, my cousin Christopher, and my friends from school Alex. 

Summer Learning Journey - Week 1 Day 5 Activities

Today I have completed Week 1, Day 5 Activities which is the last day for Week 1. The activities I did was write a description about New Zealand as if New Zealand was going to be sink under water, letter to a friend about a trip to the Tundra, and the last activity was based on if you would go for and against logging. The activity I enjoyed the most was the logging task because I got to choose which side I was for the argument. As you can see I was against the argument which means I don't want people cutting trees. One reason is because animals homes are going to be destroyed.

Summer Learning Journey - Week 1 Day 4 Activities

For the Summer Learning Journey I have completed Week 1, Day 4 activities. I enjoyed these activities especially the hotel. For this activity I was to write down where I would build a hotel of mine and what it would be made out of. I was also to draw my own room for that hotel. As you can see I have drawn my bunk bed which is what I will have if I was to build a hotel. Why? Because if your sleeping on the top bunk you can see the beautiful view of Tongatapu. The other activities I did was How to make watermelon and pineapple otai (Tongan traditional drink) and the Sir Edmund Hillary interview questions. One of my questions I would ask to Sir Edmund Hillary is How does it feel to be on the $5 note.

Today I have started Week Day activities for the 2018 Summer Learning Journey. There were 3 activities for day 2 which were based on why you would visit Tane Mahuta, find out 3 sport teams in NZ that has the fern on their uniform and a cactus maths problem. My favorite one was the cactus maths problem which is actually called weird and wonder. This was my favorite one because maths is my favorite subject and it was easy to solve out.
