Activity 1: Giants Among Us
For this activity we had to read a segment about the biggest Kauri tree Tāne Mahuta. In english Tāne Mahuta it is " The lord of the forest" Once we had learnt and read that we had to explain to you whether we would like to visit the real Tāne Mahuta or not.
I would like to go and see Tāne Mahuta one day because it's filled with so much life and i'm a little bit curious of how big it really is.
Activity 2: Fabulous Ferns
For this activity we had to learn about ferns and what they are and what they represent. As you know on most of our sports teams uniforms there is a fern in them, which leads us to our activity. We had to list 3 NZ sports teams that have 'Fern' in their name. Then post a picture of there uniform and after, explain which one is your favorite and why.
1. Silver ferns: Netball
2. Black ferns: Women's Rugby
3. Ice Fernz: Women's Hockey
My favorite uniform from this selection is the netball uniform. I like it because it's light so when your running around you don't get as sweaty.

Activity 3: Weird and wonderful
For this activity we have to learn maths. We had to learn about what they were and how amazing they are then start doing the maths. If we got a cactus for our birthday and we gave it 3 mls of water on everyday of a full year how much water would we give it? How to work it out.
Start by multiplying 3x365 you get an estimated answer of 1095. So if we turn that into mls you would give it 1095 mls.
Hi Hayley! My name is Mia from Yaldhurst Model School, I am also one of the participants of the Summer Learning Journey. I love your post! It's a really high standard, with pictures, and it catches the reader in. I see that you have worked the cactus calculation and told the reader how to do it. How long did it take to figure out the answer? To improve this post, on your first activity could you tell us a bit more about your thoughts, but it was great apart from that.
ReplyDeleteAwesome work!

Kia ora Hayley,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Mikey. I'm a member of the Summer Learning Journey team and I will be commenting on your blog posts this summer. I see that you participated in the Summer Learning Journey Programme last year; welcome back! :)
That's a great reason to want to visit Tāne Mahuta. Sometimes it's hard to tell how big things really are just by looking at a photo. I actually grew up in Northland and I STILL haven't been to see Tāne Mahuta. It is on my bucket list though. Are there any other things in Northland that you know about that you'd like to see?
Well done on researching three New Zealand sports teams. Do you think you could share photos of the Black Ferns and the Ice Ferns uniforms with me? I don't think I've ever seen the Ice Ferns one before. I like the Silver Ferns uniform as well; it reminds me of the dresses my netball team wears. Do you play any sports?
I'm glad that you were able to identify the important information in the cactus maths problem. That's a really important skill to have. What strategy did you use to work it out?
Thank you for sharing your post, Hayley. I can't wait to read the next one. Until then, happy blogging! :)
Mikey
