Day 5 - Activity 3 - Week 4 - Summer Learning Journey

What is one thing that you learned from participating in the Summer Learning Journey programme this year? I have learnt alot this year but the biggest thing I have learnt is that How fun it could be instead of just watching Youtube or Netflix you could do some learning which is going to be very useful.

What is one thing that surprised you? One thing that surprised me was how fast all of this went and how much people are keen about learning in the summer.

What is one thing that concerned or upset you? Was how some people didn't even do one little activity that takes only 5 minutes.

What is one thing that you (or your family) can do, moving forward, to help protect our natural environment? Is to stop using plastic, Using paper carefully and using the electricity less. Another thing that I would like to accomplish is to go outside and see how lucky I am to be living in this beautiful country everyday.

Thank you all and all the Summer Learning Journey Teachers!

Predator Free 2050 – A Call to Arms
I liked the 1st video the most because It taught me how he made stuff and how he could watch and hear stuff. I personally think that this is amazing because you don't have to just use it on animals. The first one was interesting because in a part in the video there was a rat on top of his experiment. So you could see that his experiment worked.

Let It Rain

I walked out the door and suddenly I smelt a weird smell. It smelt a bit like gas so I ran back into the house and grabbed my long sleeved t-shirt. I wrapped it around my nose as tight as I could but being also mind full that I could still breath. Then we finally were on our way exploring. It was like being in a horror, investigation type of movie. All I could see was darkness. I was regretting walking out of that stupid door. The forest was quiet I couldn't even hear a single bird chirp. An hour went by and I could see nothing. Till over a hedge of sticks laid a dead deer so I shouted "ahhhh" and sprinted back home.

Crazy, Cool Clouds
I love lying down on the grass and looking up into the sky. No cloud is the same there are some small ones and big ones. Not everybody has time to look at the clouds. So it is very special if you can see a cloud because not everybody can see the same thing as you.

In this picture the are clouds in it. They are all white and the sky is baby blue. The sun is not in that direction were the clouds are. In the middle there is a cloud witch is shaped in a Mustache. I am not sure what the other clouds are because they are faded.

Have you ever cloud watched?

The Seven Sisters
An adventurous young man called Mitai lives with his seven handsome brothers in the village of Maketu. He watches his brothers become bewitched by seven beautiful women, and under their spell, the brothers no longer eat, look after themselves, work in their gardens or hunt. Realising the women are patupaiarehe, fairy women, he knows they must be cast far away. They are given to Urutengangana, the god of the stars, and he places the patupaiarehe in the heavens farthest from the earth. Yet once a year, at winter solstice, he allows their beauty to shine in the eastern sky.

Bee Informed
The word ‘bumblebee’ is a compound word (bumble + bee). The word ‘bumble’ means to
move or act in an awkward or confused manner.

Bumblebees can fly very quickly. They can reach ground speeds of 15 kilometres per hour (km/h).

Bumblebees are very strong! They carry up to  75% percent of their body weight in food with them to avoid starvation.

Bumblebees can do more work and carry more pollen than other bees, including honeybees. In fact, they can do up to 50 as much work as a normal honeybee.

The number of bumblebees is declining in New Zealand due to a number of factors, including the Honey bee
