We have started our home learning activities apart from reading and maths whizz that we have to do every night. But you have to do another activity that you can do anytime from Monday after school to Thursday afterschool. On our class site, they show activities that we can do. This is the second week of Home Learning and I decided to do this one! What we had to do was imagine ourselves if we were stranded on a desert island and we had 3 things that we could have and these are what I think I would have had if I was stranded! I hope you enjoy and if you have questions or comments on how I can improve my blog then go and comment! Until next time, see you later!

Home Learning Activitiy(＾▽＾)
Hey there bloggers, I'm back!
Today my blog post is going to be about our Home Learning. In Rimu, for our home learning we have to do Maths Whizz, 20 minutes reading and an activity from the site. There are 9 activities that we have to do but we can only do one each week and post it on our blog. We could do it any order and I didn't know which one to start with so I just did the first one. What we had to do was do a book report about a book that we just finished. At the moment, I am into Horrible histories because I find them interesting and I like the drawings as well. I also like Egyptian Mummies and stuff around it so when I found out that there was a Horrible Histories book about that, I decided that I should read. This is what I think about the book!
I decided to do something cool and see how to write my name in Egyptian letters and this is how it looks like. I was very curious this and wanted to find out which was why I did this. I hope you like my post, if you have any suggestions on how I can make my post better or any questions than please go ahead and ask!
Guys I tried finding it but I couldn't so I searched English to Egyptian and it came with English to Arabic. I couldn't find any symbols spelling my name and since Arabic is like Farsi, I wasn't really surprised. But this is how it looks like.. بروين

Summer Learning Journey is finished!
Hey bloggers, I'm back! The Summer Learning Journey has come to and end, which means that there is no more, until the Term 4 holidays this year and 2020. This years Summer Learning Journey was the best because I actually did the activities every day. Anyways, here is the first activity!
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!

Summer learning Journey day 19!
Hey bloggers, I'm back!
Today is the second to last day of the Summer Learning Journey which means that there is only 1 more day until it finishes! Overall, I think I did pretty good at the Summer Learning Journey also kind o made me do more of studying than playing around on my phone. I think that this years Summer Learning Journey was great and the activities were very interesting anyways, here is the first activity!
New Zealand is home to so many beautiful, unique and, sometimes, endangered animals and habitats. The Forest & Bird organisation is working really hard to protect vulnerable animals and places in NZ. They are doing everything that they can to raise money and to raise awareness so that everyone knows about these issues. These are called ‘campaigns.’ Check out the Forest & Bird campaigns site to learn more about them.
Imagine, that you have been hired by Forest & Bird New Zealand to work on one of their campaigns. It is your job to come up with a catchy slogan for the campaign. A slogan is a short phrase or sentence that is used to advertise something. Check out examples of common slogans and logos below.
On your blog, tell us which campaign you have chosen to support and provide us with a slogan for that campaign.
Here is the second activity!
Over the past few decades some of New Zealand’s beaches have become dumping grounds for waste and rubbish. Almost 80% of this waste is made up of plastic items. Yikes!
Some companies in New Zealand have heard about the problem and agreed to cut down on their use of plastic. Countdown supermarkets, for example, have announced that they will stop giving out plastic bags to customers. What do you think of this idea? What do your friends and family think? Is it a good idea or not?
For this activity, please ask one member of your family and/or a friend what they think about Countdown’s decision to go ‘plastic bag free.’
On your blog, tell us what they think about Countdown’s decision to stop using plastic bags.
I asked my mum about what she thinks and this what she said: I think it is a good idea because we need to stop using so many plastic bags and we need to keep our city clean.
This is what I think: I think that it is a good idea because then that way we will stop using so many plastic materials which is good but the thing is that plastic materials take a very long time to get um, you know like break down. I don't know which word to use but you know what I mean?
Anyways, here is the last activity!
While much of our programme has focused on New Zealand, it is important that we also consider the environment in other places as well. One of the most unusual and spectacular sites to visit outside of New Zealand is called Machu Picchu. It is an ancient city that was built high up in the mountains in the country of Peru in South America. You have to take a train and/or walk through a series of mountains and valleys to reach it.
Over the past few decades millions of tourists have made the trek to Machu Picchu. Unfortunately, this has damaged the area and the local government has decided to restrict the number of visitors to the site each year. This decision has upset a lot of tourists who really want to see Machu Picchu but aren’t allowed to go. And from the photo's of Machu Picchu, it looks like a spectacular place and I think that people should be allowed to visit Machu Picchu.
On your blog, tell us what you think about the government’s decision to restrict the number of tourists able to visit this special site. Is it fair? Be sure to tell us why you feel the way that you do. I think that it is kind of unfair because people pay so much to go there are see Machu Picchu but then they relize that the government is going to let them go there are see it.

Summer Learning Journey Day 18!
Hey bloggers, I'm back!
As usual my blog post will be about the Summer Learning Journey and today is the 18th day which means that there is only 2 days left until the Summer Learning Journey finishes. I might be posting a blog post for when I go to Australia but not sure if I will have time but anyways, here is the first activity!
There is currently a huge drive to get rid of all predators from New Zealand. Predators are animals that, in some way, damage our natural environment. Many organisations are working hard to accomplish this goal.
Click on the links below to watch videos about three of the current projects operating to make New Zealand ‘Predator Free by 2050.’
Predator Free Video #1: Cacophony Project
Predator Free Video #2: Taranaki Mounga Project
Predator Free Video #3: Zero Invasive Predators (ZIP)
On your blog, tell us which one of the videos you liked the best and why..
I think that I liked the second video the most because of the scenes and photo's in the video's. And in the video there was that mountain that didn't have any fences for predators and there are lot's of farms which needs to be protected.
Here is the second activity!
Here in New Zealand we have a native dolphin, the Māui Dolphin, that is on the verge of extinction (disappearing forever). As of this year, there are only 63 Māui dolphins left and people predict that they will be extinct by 2033. Environmentalists and activists, including the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), are working hard to save the dolphin because it is such a special and unique animal. To learn more about the Māui Dolphin, please follow this link. If you would like to sign a petition from the WWF encouraging the New Zealand government to take action to save the Maui Dolphin, please follow this link.
Once you have learned more about this unique dolphin, it is time for you to share your learning with us. 
On your blog, post three facts that you learned about the Māui Dolphin. Then, using your imagination, create three more statements about Māui dolphins that are not true (i.e. false). Please don’t tell us which of your statements about Māui Dolphins are true and which are false. It will be the job of the students and staff who read your blog to figure it out.
Here is the last activity!
Sir David Attenborough is a famous TV presenter from England who loves nature and the natural world. He has spent his career filming documentaries about the planet and working hard to protect it. In a recent interview, Sir David was asked to reflect on all that he had learned and to imagine that he had suddenly been given the power to save 10 animals and/or plants from extinction (disappearing forever).
3. Solenodon
Let’s imagine that you had the same power and that you could save 10 species (animals or plants) from extinction. Who would you save? If I had the choice I would probably save animals like the elephant, white tiger and rhinoceros because they are unique and have lived for centuries on earth. I would also like to save some of my favourite flowers including hydrangeas and calla lily flowers. What about you?
Left to right: White tiger, Hydrangeas, Calla Lily
On your blog, list 10 species (animals or plants) that you would protect from extinction. For each one, give a reason as to why you think it is important to protect.
1-Maui Dolphin because there is only a small amount of those species left.
2-Javan Rhinoceros because it is very close to going extinct.
3-Gorilla's because even though there is around 300 gorilla's left, their homes are getting destroyed.
4-Golden headed Languor because there are fewer than 70 left! They are very close to going extinct.
5-White Rhino because there is only 5 left! (I think?)
6-Amur Leopard because they are very close to going extinct. Currently a mere 60 members of its family survives.
7-Hawksbill Turtle because people get the turtles, and sell the shells at a high price which needs to stop!
8-Leatherback Turtle because they are going extinct because when they lay eggs, the birds come and eat them which means that the number of them will keep reducing until they are extinct.
9-Pygmy three-toed sloth are the slowest animals that they grow Algae on their back which protects them from predators but their habitats are getting destroyed.
10-White Antelope because there are only 200 specimens left.
