Summer Learning Journey Day 9

Hey bloggers, I'm back!

Today, my blog post is going to be about the Summer Learning Journey. Today is the 9th day or the 4 day of the second week and there is only 15 days of the Summer Learning Journey and we are done with it and then they announce the winners, yay! I am really excited!

So here is what we have to do for the first activity!

Arguably, one of the most dramatic and spectacular (beautiful) places to visit in New Zealand is Milford Sound. It has been referred to as the ‘eighth wonder of the world.’ It is a beautiful fiord (steep valley) that was formed when big pieces of ice (glaciers) melted. The melted glaciers created a beautiful river that is surrounded by dramatic cliffs and snow-capped mountains. People who visit Milford Sound are able to take a boat cruise through the middle of the fiord, walk around the area on the Milford Track or fly above the fiord as part of a private helicopter tour.

Let’s imagine that you had the chance to visit Milford Sound by boat, foot (walking) or air (helicopter). Which option would you prefer?

On your blog tell us which of the three options you would take to explore Milford Sound. Be sure to tell us why you have chosen this option.

I think that I would choose a private helicopter because you can go really high up and look from the very top and see what it looks like. If you went on a boat, it would take long and you see everything. If you walk, then you can't go to the steep places and you will get tired quickly too.

Here is what we have to do for the second activity!

Activity 2: It’s All in the Name [4 points]

Rotorua is one of New Zealand’s most popular tourist destinations. It is a city filled with incredible forests, mountain biking tracks, lakes, and geothermal wonders, including hot springs (geysers) and mud pools. One of the most famous geothermal pools is called the Devil’s Bath at Wai-o-Tapu Thermal Wonderland. It is a neon green pool of stinky water.

Over the years, people have suggested that we come up with a new name for the pool. What do you think we should call it? Take a minute to let your creative juices flow.

On your blog, give us a list of three to five options for the name of this geothermal pool. Put a star (*) beside the name that you like the most.

Here is what we have to do for the last activity!

While New Zealand is home to some beautiful waterfalls, there are a number of stunning waterfalls in places like Canada and South Africa. In Canada, the largest waterfall is called Niagara Falls. It sits on the border between Canada and the United States of America. Thousands of tourists flock (go) to Niagara Falls every year to see the falls and to have their picture taken in front of this natural wonder. Over the past few years people have started taking ‘selfies’ and posting them online. Do you ever take selfies?

For this activity, choose one of the following three selfies. From left to right: Selfie #1,   Selfie #2,   Selfie #3

On your blog, write a short story about what you think is happening in the picture. Be sure to tell us where you think the people are and what you think they were doing at the time that they stopped to pose for the selfie. To earn full points, the story must be 8 – 10 sentences long.

In this picture, the women is taking a selfie, she looks like she is about to fall off and the picture turned out to be great! But she fell backwards while trying to get a good shot, but she didn't get hurt at all but she just got her clothes stained. What colour do you think she got her clothes stained? Well she got it a range of colours because she didn't really go there, it was just a picture she painted and took a selfie in front of it to make it look like she is traveling the world, when really, she is just at the garage. Because that is where she paints her background and takes selfies to make people think that she is traveling the world and having a blast where really, all she is doing is painting and then taking a selfie
