Activity 3: The WWF: World Wildlife Fund [10 points]

In 1961, a number of people came together to start an organisation called the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). The main goal of this organisation was/is to protect life on earth. Hundreds of WWF staff work in countries all over the world trying to protect our planet and the animals who live here. To learn more about their amazing work, click on one of the two video links below.

Clip #1: Freshwater Seals

Clip #2: Tigers-

Once you have watched the video, go to your blog and, using full sentences, tell us:

1) The name of the animal the WWF is working to save.

2) What the WWF is doing to help the animal.

3) What, if any, success they have had protecting the animal.

Seals are one of the most endangered animal in the world. Seal gives birth in a lair that digs into a snow bank. If there is no snow banks for the pups then the pups would have to be born on open ice but predator could eat them. Half of the pups could die. WWF are doing there best to help the seals and by helping the pups and seals the  WWF are building snow banks for them so when it comes to the seal to giving birth they would already have there snow bank and no predator could eat the pups.

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.

The many people exploring nature and visiting Tāne Mahuta. Standing more than 51 meters tall and with a truck growing 13 meters long. Exploring nature and the environment. I would love to visit Tāne Mahuta. Even though it may be a long walk to visit Tāne Mahuta. After researching it says Tāne Mahuta is a kauri tree. Tāne Mahuta has some steep hills but I wouldn't mind. I would                                                                  love to explore the environment plus I love nature.

Antarctica is the world’s coldest continent. Even though it is made up of ice, it is also the driest continent in the world. In fact, it hasn’t rained there for nearly 2 million years! It is home to many animals such as whales, seals, birds, and fish. There are no permanent human residents (people who live there all the time) in Antarctica, however scientists do visit and stay in Antarctica for a while to study it.

This year the airline, Air New Zealand, filmed their safety video in Antarctica. They used some fabulous actors from Hornby Primary School in Christchurch. Just like on aeroplanes, we also need to keep safe and be smart online. We need to think about the type of information we are sharing online, who we are sharing information with, and how to have a positive digital footprint.

On your blog, make a copy of this footprint and, inside the footprint, explain how you create a positive, digital footprint. What do you do to stay smart online?

Task description: 
Be cyber smart on the Internet because you never know
what will happen. It will always lead to a footprint.
Always be safe online. Never leave bad things
On the Internet. Positive things only.

Activity 2: North and South [4 points]

The country of New Zealand is made up of two main islands – the North Island and the South Island. Approximately 77% of the New Zealand population live in the North Is

land. Many of these people (including our Summer Learning Journey design team) live in Auckland city. Auckland is a great place to live with lots of amazing parks, beautiful waterways and stunning scenery to enjoy. It is also a busy, vibrant city with many cafes, museums, galleries and theatres to visit. I feel lucky to call Auckland my ‘hometown.’

Now it is time to think about your hometown. What is special about where you live? On your blog, describe your hometown. Be sure to include lots of describing words (adjectives) in your post.

The country of Samoa. The beautiful trees and light blue oceans. There
are some many things about Samoa that I love like about the
beautiful trees, the waterfalls, the Tropical Beaches and the clock tower
that my Great Grandfather built.

Did you know there is 197,695 people living in Samoa right now. There are
different cities in Samoa that I would love to visit one day. In Samoa there
are 3 main important things and that is faith, family and music. Samoa is
the most special thing to me and my family because Samoa is where my siblings and I were born and that is also where my parents were born. I am proud to come from a beautiful country. I will always love and call Samoa my home.

DAY 1: IN THE BEGINNING...

Activity 1: The Legend of New Zealand [4 points]

According to Māori mythology, much of Aotearoa New Zealand was formed when Māui, a powerful demigod, fished it out of the sea. Legend has it that Māui created a magical fish hook from the jawbone of his grandmother and that one day he took his hook, boarded a boat, and rode out into the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Once at sea, he threw his magical hook into the water and caught a fish. This ‘fish’ was actually the North Island of New Zealand! In honour of this legend, the North Island of New Zealand is sometimes referred to as Te Ika a Māui or ‘Māui’s fish’ and the South Island of New Zealand is sometimes referred to as Te Waka a Māui or ‘Māui’s canoe’.

To learn more cool facts about New Zealand, check out the Tourism NZ website. Read the fun facts posted on the website and choose your ‘Top 3.’ On your blog, post your ‘Top 3 Fun Facts’ about NZ in your own words
