Activity 3: Miracle on the Hudson.

Yehaa! The weather was finally alright. For my brave thing my friend Piata and I did the parasail. For SLJ last year I came first and won it. We went 300m into the sky. It was a bit scary at first but it got better as we enjoyed the amazing view. As we came back towards the boat the guy said, "be careful the sharks don't bite your toes," as he dipped our feet into the water. I had such a great time. Here is my draw and some photos of us on the parasail.

That it will help with my reading and writing.

What is one thing that surprised you?
That I had kids from other schools around New Zealand comment on my Summer Learning Journey.

What is one thing that concerned or upset you?
That tourists can destroy places in our world.

What is one thing that you (or your family) can do, moving forward, to help protect our natural environment?
Make sure we recycle and use re-usable bags. Protect our environment for the future.

The Plastic Pledge - Week 4

I think it is a good idea that Countdown and now New World have decided to stop giving out plastic bags. Plastic bags are not good for our environment because they end up in the sea and the animals mistake them for food and eat them and die. They also make our town look messy as people drop them.

My mum thinks it is a great idea too but she needs to remember to take her re-usable bags into the supermarket when we go. She thinks its an awesome idea because it is going to make our planet tidier and will help save our animals.

A protective plant - Week 4

10 vegetables and fruits that I will plant in my garden.

1. watermelon
2. carrots
3. apple
4. strawberry

8. avacados
9. garlic
10. tomatoes
11. chives

Bee Informed Week 3

The word ‘bumblebee’ is a compound word (bumble + bee). The word ‘bumble’ means to hum buzz or drone.
Bumblebees can fly very quickly. They can reach ground speeds of 54 kilometres per hour (km/h).

Bumblebees are very strong! They carry up to 90 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 times as much work as a normal honeybee.

The number of bumblebees is declining in New Zealand due to a number of factors, including the removal of wild flowers and flowering tree from the landscape,habitat loss and extensive use of pesticides.
