Summer Leraning Journey day 8

Hey bloggers, I'm back!

As usual, my blog post is going to be about the Summer Learning Journey activities. Today is the 3rd day of the second week or the 8th day of the Summer Learning Journey. I think that I am making good progress so far because I have been completing all of the activities. Here is the activities that we have to do for today!

Here is the first activity!

Here in New Zealand we have many amazing and unique sea creatures, including penguins. The blue penguin, or kororā, is particularly special because it is the smallest penguin in the entire world! Blue penguins are typically found on the east coast of the South Island in places like Oamaru but they can be hard to spot as they rarely leave the water. If they do come onto land it is usually at night, when most of us are sound asleep! That’s because they are nocturnal. Not all of us, however, sleep all night. In fact, some people love to stay awake late into the evening. People who like to stay up late are called ‘night owls.’ Are you a night owl or are you an early riser, like me? I typically wake up every day around 6:00 a.m. and jump out of bed, ready to start the day!

On your blog, tell us whether you are a night owl or an early riser. Then, tell us about the rest of your family. Are they the same as you? .

I think that I am a night owl because I usually wake up around 7:30 when there is school and where there isn't I usually wake up around 9. My parents are the same as me but sometimes they wake up earlier than me. My sisters sometimes wake up really early and sometimes they wake up late. My older brother wakes up later than all of us so someone has to wake him up for breakfast and my younger brother usually wakes up the same time as me but a bit later.

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

Whitebait is a very special fish in New Zealand. It is rumoured (believed) to be a very delicious fish. Some restaurants in New Zealand make dishes that feature whitebait, including whitebait fritters. Have you ever tried whitebait fritters? They are a favourite dish of many of my friends. I, personally, prefer foods from places like Mexico and Italy. Pizza and nachos are two of my all-time favourite foods! In fact, I often make homemade pizza with Aronui on Friday nights using the same ingredients (pizza base, tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, chicken, red onion, basil and feta cheese) each time.

For this activity, please choose a favourite food and find a recipe for it.

On your blog, share a list of the ingredients that you need to make this food. You must type out the list of ingredients yourself (and not simply copy and paste it from a website) to earn full points.

My favourite food is Macaroni except I add some extra things in it, here are the ingredients you will be needing.

1-Macaroni/spaghetti

2-Tomatoe paste

3-Canned Tomatoes

4-Onions

5-Curry Powder

6-Potatoe

7-Oil

You will also be needing 2 posts, one smaller and one bigger. The smaller one is for making the flavoring in and the big one is for the macaroni/spaghetti to get softer and to be cooked in.

Here is the last activity! Hope you enjoy!

Let’s imagine that the average adult can lift 25 kg and the average child can lift 15 kg. How many adults and children will it take to move the giant squid into its new room at Te Papa? [Note: There is more than one right answer to this question.]

On your blog, tell us how you will solve this maths problem. You can write your answer in words, use a Sketchpad image or post a video explaining how you would figure it out. Be sure to give us your final answer.
