Day 7, Bonus Activity

The thing that I loved about the trip is learning about the country that we live in. The thing that I learned was that heaps of people tried to save the whales that were on the beach at farewell spit and that the whales are getting caught up in the fishing nets when people are fishing. The thing that I liked about the trip is seeing the scenery that New Zealand has.

Day 6, Activity 1

When the mist cleared, our waka saw the first sign of land. It was a spec in the distanced and as the elders paddled we got closer and closer. There was lots of green but more rocky. I felt really excited to find out this new country and the land but also very nervous what laid ahead.

Winter Learning Journey Day 5

Winter Learning Journey

Day 5, Activity 1

I should have stayed with the group and Curious Kiwi. I have to stay the night because they won’t come back for me. I bet they won’t even notice that I am gone. I get my torch out of my bag and out a jacket over myself. At least I have packed some food for the walk if I got hungry. I went to sleep with my torch beside me so then I could see if anyone comes and so then if I wake up then I could use the torch. I heard some footsteps coming back. I heard Curious Kiwi’s voice so they did come back.     

Day 5, Activity 2

Richie Mccaw was born on the 31 of December 1980. Richie Mccaw was born in Otago Oamaru. Richie Mccaw was famous because of him captaining the All Blacks for 110 out of his 148 test matches. Richie Mccaw played for the Crusaders and Canterbury. His debut has 2001 for the Crusaders and he was selected for the All Blacks in 2001.

Day 5, Bonus Activity

I think that it sounds fun because I really like to bike ride and I have been on the Karangahake gorge and we had lots of fun. Looking at the landscapes and there were more people doing it as well as us. At the start the was a big tunnel it was 2km long.

Day 4, Activity 1

The people tried to keep the whales wet, try and cover them, keep their blow holes clear and stay away from the tail. Freedom campers lend their towels, t-shirts and sarongs to drape over the whales. Everyone grabbed their chill bins, water bottles, cooking pots and mixing bowls to fill up with water.  

Day 4, Activity 2

Whale rider is about a little girl that is in a kapa haka group at her school and when she went down to the beach she saw a whale and then she was looking after her. In the trailer someone dropped their shark tooth necklace and she dived in to get the necklace. I would rate the movie a 4 because it is sad but exciting at the same time.     

Day 4, Bonus Activity

I think that fishing at Farewell spit should be banned because we don’t want these dolphins should be endangered because dolphins are fun to swim with and they do good entertainment to watch and we don’t want them to die. It is unfair for the dolphins to get stuck in fishing nets.

Day 3, Activity 1

I am going to adopt a tuatara and his name is going to be Bob. He eats insects like beetles spiders frogs and other small reptiles. They live in NZ because they look like a fossil and they have lived since the dinosaur age 220 million years ago and they still live now.   

Day 3, Activity 2

I think that possums should be killed because they are killing and eating bird eggs and the little birds that are yet to hatch out of those eggs. The reason why is because our population of birds are going down especially kiwis because of those nasty possums eating the eggs.

Day 3, Bonus Activity

Here is my photo of the Moa.

Day 2, Activity 1

I liked looking around at the landscapes on Rangitoto because of the tall trees the birds chirping and just looking around at our country that we live in. The beach is the best to walk your dog and swim. I think if you have a dog or children I think that you should take them so then you can spend time with the family and give the dog a run around.

New Zealand is a beautiful country and to see it properly everyone should go on a road trip buy car, camper van, or a motor home. When you go around New Zealand you can see the beautiful landscapes, the country and see all of the cities in the North island and the South island. But while you are going around NZ you will go through a lot of different weather like heavy rain, wind, sun, hail and thunderstorms.
