Week Three: The Post War(s) Era (1951-1999): Day 5: Maintaining the Status Quo (The 1990’s)

Activity 1: Hiking Tongariro
Equipment
Food and plenty of fluid, especially in the summer months. If you are planning on completing any of the summit tracks, ensure you have additional water supplies.
Waterproof and wind-proof raincoat and trousers
Strong, sturdy boots (you will be trekking over uneven volcanic terrain)
Warm clothing layers: woollen or polypropylene thermals and fleece
Hat and gloves
Sunscreen and sunglasses
First Aid Kit
Cellphone
Map
How to stay safe
1. Plan your trip
Seek local knowledge and plan the route you will take and the amount of time
you can reasonably expect it to take.
2. Tell someone
Tell someone your plans and leave a date to raise the alarm if you haven’t
returned.
3. Be aware of the weather
New Zealand’s weather can be highly changeable. Check the forecast and
expect weather changes.
4. Know your limits
Challenge yourself within your physical limits and experience.
5. Take sufficient supplies
Make sure you have enough food, clothing, equipment and emergency rations
for the worst-case scenario. Take an appropriate means of communication.



Activity 2: Leading New Zealand


Leading New Zealand
Week 3, Day 5 (Bonus Activity)




Name of Prime Minister: Jenny Shipley
Date of Birth: 4 February 1952


Political Party: National
Number of Years as Prime Minister: 7 years
Three interesting facts about my chosen Prime Minister:
1.She grew up in rural Canterbury
2.After leaving Parliament, Shipley and husband Burton moved to Auckland
3.National’s ratings slumped as voters asked what had become of ‘the decent society’ Bolger promised in 1990



Bonus Activity: You Have to Pay to
Play

You should have to pay to go to uni because if you really want to do something
and you have to study then the people helping you study won’t get any money
even though the help you for a long time

  1. Hi Lucy!

    Activity One:
    This is a really thorough list of items you have found Lucy - awesome work! Next time it would be amazing to see you use the information you find to help you write your own list - I would love to hear this from your perspective!
    Do you enjoy hiking or going on walks? Is there anything you make sure to take with you each time?
    I really like to take fruit when I go on walks.... I don't know what it is about eating an apple in the fresh air but I swear it makes it taste better! :)

    Activity Two:
    Jenny Shipely sounds like a really interesting woman, did you enjoy reading about her?
    I think it's pretty cool that you have written up your activity on our first female Prime Minister! Giiiirrrllll Power! :)
    I am not sure that I understand your third fact, was there something in particular from what you read that you were trying to share here?
    I will be interested to hear!

    Bonus Activity:
    This is a really awesome answer for this activity Lucy! I really liked that you have made a clear choice and then supported it well with your reason why.
    I also think that it is really sweet that you have considered the teachers that support the students through university, I am sure that they would be very thankful to you!
    Is there any other reasons that you can think of for why students should pay for their studies?

    Great job Lucy - Keep up the awesome work!
    Ellee :)
