DAY 5: Blink and You’ll Miss It
Activity 1: Towering Timbers [4 points]
There is a long and rich history of logging in New Zealand. Logging involves cutting down trees. The people who cut them down are called loggers. The trees that they cut down are sold and used to build things (eg. houses), to make products (eg. paper), and to generate (create) heat and power. Over the past two centuries, many of the trees in New Zealand have been cut down by loggers.

Some people like logging because it creates jobs for the loggers and generates money for New Zealand while others are against (opposed to) logging. Many of those opposed are worried that logging will damage the environment. It might also force animals who live in trees (eg. owls) to find new homes.
What do you think about logging?
On your blog tell us whether you think logging should be allowed in New Zealand. Be sure to provide at least two reasons to support your argument.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I really don't know if Logging in New Zealand is going to be alright because that the animals that live in trees have to find homes and its going to be hard for them because they did nothing to the new Zealanders , New Zealanders should stop logging to stop the animals from finding new homes and just leave the animals alone in there homes that they are in . Yes the logging process can also damage the environment that we live in but no one would want a DAMAGED dirty log environment and plus when visitors come to New Zealand and look at the environment they will think bad things by just looking at it and we would like the visitors to say good things but our environment and our country .........
But We do did Loggers in life because of our things like Houses that we live in and Paper that we all mostly use and Heat that keeps us warm and Power that we all use for Electricity like fridges , Microwaves and other stuff that container power so we do need Logging to happen in New Zealand , So my say is I Don't know ........................

Activity 2: Living on the Edge [4 points]
While it can get quite cold in New Zealand, it rarely drops below freezing (00C). Most of the time the temperature in New Zealand is pretty mild. This is not the case in the tundra. The tundra is an area of land (biome) that is cold, dry and completely treeless. Did you know that the average temperature in the tundra is -280C?
Over the past few years, however, the temperature in the tundra has been rising and the weather has been changing. Let’s imagine that your teacher decides to take you on a class trip to the tundra before the weather changes too much and you aren’t able to go.
On your blog, write a letter to your best friend or a family member telling them about your trip to the tundra. To earn full points your letter must have a greeting (eg. Dear…) followed by 5 – 6 sentences of information about what your experience.
Over the years, scientists have made some surprising discoveries. One of
these discoveries is that we have entire cities (e.g. Jakarta, Indonesia and Venice, Italy) that are slowly sinking into the ocean. Scientists believe that, one day, the cities will disappear completely under the water. Yikes!
Some of the residents (people living in the cities) have taken pictures of their neighbourhoods and written stories about their lives in order to make a record of what ‘life was like’ in their city before it disappeared.

Task Description : For this Summer Learning Task Week 1 Day 1 Activity 2 was we had to write a letter to a friend of ours or a family member of ourselfs at tundra and explain to our family member or our friend about tundra and what it looks like and other stuff .

Activity 3: Going, going….gone [10 points]
Let’s imagine that New Zealand was going to sink to the bottom of the ocean next week (Eek!). Before it sinks you are asked to write a blog post telling people what life was like in New Zealand in 2018.
On your blog, post a description of life in New Zealand in 2018. Please remember that the people who read your post will have never been to New Zealand or even seen a picture so it is your job to ‘paint a picture’ of New Zealand using your words. You can also post pictures, if you wish. Be sure to fully attribute the pictures.
Living in New Zealand it was so fantastical , It was amazing for me to live there because everyone was nice and everyday was different , Our Country was a Kind Loving Caring , Sporty country that we all loved especially all the Tongans when the MMT Tonga Teams wins against a Team they would go CRAZY all around Auckland and especially in Otahuhu Because that's where the Home was in Auckland !!!The Beautiful Mountains in New Zealand always has a Beautiful View for you to look at also the Nature is amazing I would Recommend you to go to the STUNNING Parnell Rose Gardens as they have amazing different coloured roses that just look so amazing !!! our Beaches are amazing one of the best beaches in New Zealand , Auckland is Mission Bay why you ask it is because it a sunny place to swim it has parks and Food there and also A tall Water Fountain in the middle it's just Stunning to look at !!!! The most important thing about New Zealand that you can not forget about is the Sky City Tower why you ask it gives you a FULL View of Auckland for Sure !!!!

Kia Ora Lillyana,
ReplyDeleteActivity 1: Towering Timbers: Yes, you are absolutely right it can be tricky specially because we do use a lot of products that are made from trees such as paper and also to build houses and many more. However, what about if we could resource another material that we could use instead of wood for our everyday necessities? Furthermore, what if this material would be more sustainable with less damage to our environment? Sometimes we need to think out of the square to find solutions and bring a more balance equilibrium in between our needs and our planet earth preservation because there is no other place for us to live right?!!
Thanks for expressing your opinion, you completed this task well!
Activity 2: Living on the Edge: You wrote a lovely letter to your friend Amelia. I liked how you made a poster with images and furthermore the detail of you telling her that you saw an arctic fox made it so realistic that I almost believed that you there in Tundra too! Feeding forward, you could have added a image of the arctic fox ;o)
Activity 3: Going, going….gone: How cool is to see you talking about how NZ was caring and loving country! However, for this task you need to describe New Zealand for someone that have not been here before and I feel that you spent most of your letter telling people not to come here because New Zealand is sinking. If I have to describe NZ for someone who has not been here before I would talk about how we are a small country in the South Pacify, how New Zealand is made of two islands, how in here there is more sheep than people and so on, do you see what I mean? In order for you to gain full points for this task I will need you to hoop back in this post and add more descriptive features about our country New Zealand, could you kindly do that and let me know by replying to this comment?
You are doing great, keep up with your awesome work!
Kia kaha,
Patricia
Kia Ora Patricia ,
