!!!Summer Learning Journey !!
WEEK 1: A Place to Stand
Day 2 Forest Life
DAY 2: Forest Life
Activity 1: Giants Among Us [4 points]
New Zealand has a really special environment. Many of the plants and trees found in New Zealand are not found anywhere else in the world. These plants and trees are endemic to our country. In New Zealand, one of the largest and longest living endemic trees is the NZ Kauri tree. Kauri are mainly found in three regions of New Zealand: the Coromandel, Auckland and Northland. The largest Kauri tree in the country is in the Waipoua Forest in Northland. It is called Tāne Mahuta. Some people refer to it as the ‘Lord of the Forest.’
Thousands of people go to visit Tāne Mahuta every year. Would you like to be one of those people who got to see Tāne Mahuta in real life? Why or why not?
On your blog, tell us whether you would like to go and visit Tāne Mahuta one day. Be sure to tell us why you do (or do not) want to visit this endemic tree.
Activity 2: Fabulous Ferns [4 points]
One of the most common plants found in New Zealand forests is the fern. It is a special, iconic symbol of New Zealand. You will find pictures of ferns on the jerseys of many famous sporting teams in New Zealand, including the New Zealand All Blacks.
Did you know that many of these teams also have the word ‘fern’ in their name? Use your best researching skills to find three New Zealand sporting teams who use the word ‘fern’ in their title.
On your blog list three sports teams that have the word ‘fern’ in their title. Beside each team’s name, post a picture of their uniform. Then, at the bottom of your blog post tell us which of the three uniforms you like best and why.
Activity 3: Weird and Wonderful [10 points]
New Zealand is just one of many countries that has amazing plants and trees. In fact, the African desert is home to some pretty incredible plants, like the cactus. Some cacti are able to survive on as little as 3 millilitres (ml) of water a day. Wow!
Let’s imagine that you are given a cactus for your birthday. To keep it alive, you must give it 3 ml of water every day.
Over one full year, how much water will you need to give your cactus plant?
On your blog, tell us how to solve this maths problem. You can write your answer in words, use a Sketchpad image, or post a video explaining how you would figure it out. Be sure to give us your final answer in millilitres (ml).
Task Description : For this Task I had to do all the actives in Day 2 and to complete it to get points . The first was fun because I got to say if I wanted to go and see the Tāne Mahuta Tree and of course I said YES because its gonna be a Nature Best Adventure !!! anyways the second one had to spent time on but it was cool the 3rd one was in the middle of Hard and Easy but I got though all of it and I am SUPER DUPER PROUD OF MYSELF anyways If you haven't joined the AWESOMENESS summer learning journey click here to sign up CLICK ME Don't forget to tune in because there will be more post's coming very soon and God Bless you and your family and friends and stay safe and have a HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE !!!!

ReplyDeleteMy name is Izzy and I am a member of the Summer Learning Journey team. You have made such a strong start to your blogging and I have had a great time reading through your posts this morning.
I love the reasons that you have given for wanting to visit Tāne Mahuta. I also have never been but I am hoping to get there this summer. If you were to go and planned on going on a bush walk adventure after, what would you need to take with you?
The information that you have found out about the uniforms is really interesting. I see you have found out about the Black Ferns and the Silver Ferns. Can you find one more team with ‘fern’ in their name? You have picked some great pictures to illustrate your work and clearly show us what the uniforms look like. Just remember that when you use images from online, you need to credit (say) the site that they came from. It can be tricky at first but this link can help you. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1VKjkMGwBrk2YI6Vtmg91OAQljr_T3ZSV6YZtu6MWFNM/edit
I enjoyed reading you cactus maths problem post. I really like the way you broke it down so systematically. I like being able to follow your thought process. When I solve a problem like this I like to use the formula 365x3. Maybe you want to try this and we can talk about it?
I look forward to reading more of your blog posts.
Have a good day,
Izzy
Hola Izzy ,
DeleteThank you so much for giving me advice on this blog post and for saying nice things in the comment , Yes I will go back and edit the images and I will Image attribute them to give Credit to the site I had got it from and Yes I will use the Formula you gave me and I am gonna try it out and yes we can Talk about it :)
Thank you so much for commenting on my SLJ Work Izzy !!!! God Bless you and your family and stay safe and have a jolly happy holiday !!

I almost forgot your Question ,
ReplyDeleteThe Things you need when your going on a Bush adventure is you need lots of Water to keep hydrated while going on your bush walk , Also you need to wear a bagpack full of your food that way how long is the trip you don't have to strave because you had brang your food in your bagpack . You also need to wear warm cholothing ( If Raining ) or just some normal cholting , If you do go out and it is raining bring an umbrella or rain cholt to keep you dry ,and Strong grip shoes to keep you not falling .
Thank you for the question Izzy ,:)
Kind Regards ,
