Every year we celebrate World Environment Day in June. On World Environment Day we do what we can to protect our planet. This year the focus is on reducing the use of plastic bags and water bottles. Watch this Environment Day video to learn more about it!
What could you and your family do to protect the planet?
On your blog tell us three things that you could do to help save the planet.
I think that we could use less plastic objects, recycle things and turn things yo don't need into other cool stuff that you do need so that way it doesn't go to waste.
Here is the second activity!
Not only can you help the planet by reducing, reusing and recycling, you can also help to save animals and plants by ‘adopting’ them. To ‘adopt’ an animal through the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), you need to visit their adopt a species page, read through the list of animals and choose one.
With the WWF, you don’t actually adopt the animal and bring it home! It’s a symbolic adoption. In this case you pay a fee ($55.00) and the money is used to provide food and care for your chosen animal. Visit the WWF site and take a look at the animals who are available for adoption. Choose your ‘top three’ animals from the website.
On your blog, list the three animals that you have chosen and then compare and contrast them. How are they similar? How are they different? At the bottom of you post, tell us which of the three animals you would most like to adopt..
My top 3 animals!
1-Arctic Fox
1-Arctic Fox
2-Koala
3-Fennec Fox
Arctic foxes eat anything then can find but Koala's are herbivores so they don't at meat but they et plants. A Fennec Fox is an omnivore so it eats plants and meat. Fennec Foxes likes to live in Sandy places but the Arctic Foxes and in Antarctica but the Koala's in Australia where it is a pretty hot place.
Here is the last activity!
Sadly, the Summer Learning Journey has now come to an end. It is time to reflect on everything that you have learned about the environment and, particularly, about how you can protect and preserve it.
On your blog please tell us:
- What is one thing that you learned from participating in the Summer Learning Journey programme this year?
- What is one thing that surprised you?
- What is one thing that concerned or upset you?
- What is one thing that you (or your family) can do, moving forward, to help protect our natural environment?
Well I learnt lot's of things while learning the Summer Learning Journey but I learnt a lot of things about the ones where there were mysterious and odd plants because I didn't even know that those types of plants even exist. Something that surprised me is that I actually did all of the activities because I thought that I was going to do it for like 2 weeks and then eventually get bored and quit but I didn't. I am not upset about anything. I think something that I can do to help our environment is to not dump rubbish and reuse things and turn them into other stuff and those type of things! This years Summer Learning Journey was great and I can't wait to see what the next Summer Learning Journey is going to be like!
Kia Ora Parwin,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Rachel and I am working with the Summer Learning Journey blogging programme this year. It is so exciting to see that you have completed the SLJ this year. Wow! Way to go!
It was also fabulous to read that you thought that you might do the programme for a little while and get bored but you didn't. We're so glad that you aren't upset about anything and that you are already looking forward to next year's programme! We are looking forward to it as well!
In the meantime, we will still be reading everyone's blogs and writing comments. We will also be keeping track of the points that all of the students earn by posting blogs. Did you know that you can also earn points by posting positive comments? To earn points, you are asked to post a thoughtful, positive and helpful comment on the blog of another SLJ participant. The comment must be at least 3 sentences long and include something that you liked, found interesting or were surprised by in the post. Every quality comment that you post is worth 2 points.
We hope that you will join us in commenting this summer. You can post as many comments as you want until the last day of the programme (25 January 2019).
See you online again soon, I hope!
Warmest regards,
Rachel :)
