Week 2: Day 3: First You ‘Sea’ Me, Now You Don’t…

Activity 1: Night Owls

I am an early riser. My Mum also is an early riser. My dad and my sister are night owls.

Activity 2: A Local Delicacy

Activity 3: The Midnight Zone

It would take 20 adults to carry it to the new room. This is how I worked it out.

25 + 25 = 50 x 10= 500

Week 2: Day 2: Fabulous Flora

Activity 1: Weaving a Tall Tale…

I have tried weaving before and I like. I would like to try it again because I have only done it once.
It interests me because I like any form of art.

Activity 2: Mighty Mangroves

In My opinion, my Dad is tough because most days a cow will kick him or stand on him. My Dad is
strong because he has to lift all the heavy parts for the cowshed and sometimes he has to lift a cow!!!

Activity 3: Stranger than Fiction

Mimosa pudica is also known as the sensitive plant. It is native to South America but can be seen all
over the world. When you touch it its leaves fold up immediately.

Titan arum is also known as the corpse flower. It is the largest and stinkiest flower in the world. It only blooms in 40 years. It is protected by law because it is so rare.

Activity 1: Surfs Up!

One of my favourite summer activities is reading because you can learn about so many things and you

Week 1: Day 5: Blink and You’ll Miss It

Activity 1: Towering Timbers

I think logging shouldn’t be allowed because it takes away the homes of animals and it could damage
the environment.

Activity 2: Living on the Edge

Dear Mum, Dad and Ruby

My time in the Tundra has been amazing but it is so cold! Yesterday it was -30℃. Yesterday we also went skiing. We have got to do so much walking. We get to walk around this lake tomorrow.

From Lucy

Activity 3: Going, going….gone

It is awesome in New Zealand so it will be sad when it sinks to the bottom of the ocean. There are some amazing places like Mount Taranaki, The Abel Tasman and Franz Josef.
