Summer learning (week 1/ Day 1)

By Anonymous

Today's  activity for the summer learning journey is finding out three top facts about New Zealand on the Tourism New Zealand site. 

My first facts about New Zealand is, New Zealand is part of the pacific rim of fire and it's most active volcano is Mount Ruapehu , which is found in the middle of the North Island .


Did you know that? The Auckland sky tower is the tallest freestanding structure in the southern hemisphere, standing at 328 meters high. 

Last fact about New Zealand that I found interesting was  30% of the country is forest. So there must be a lot of trees then.

CAN YOU FIND OUT SOME INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT NEW ZEALAND? LEAVE A COMMENT ON WHAT YOU FOUND OUT

    Malo Manea,

    Welcome to the Summer Learning Journey. Congratulations on completing your very first activity for this years programme. We have had so many students participating in the last few days, it has been very exciting for our team. I cannot wait to see more amazing posts from you over the holidays.

    Wow, what a great way to kick start your journey. You have put in a lot of effort to find the facts and shared them in a creative way with photos and questions. I also found it interesting that 30% of Aotearoa's surface is covered in forest. That is one reason why our country is so unique and beautiful. I am lucky enough to live on the edge of a native bush which is like a small forest. My son, Nico, and I can jump the fence and enjoy the bush walks in our backyard. We are often being visited by native birds such as tui's, kereru's, and fantail's. Have you had the opportunity to visit a forest? If so, where about in New Zealand was this forest?

    I loved the way you introduced the activity at the beginning of your post. This will help other bloggers who are visiting your site understand what activity you are responding too.

    Keep up the awesome work,
    Megan :)

Production

By Anonymous
Our school production this year was Pasifica Peter Pan (a twist on an old classic). We started rehearsing early last term and presented to an audience last week, with three performances (two in the evening and one Friday matinee show).  Our song at the end was one of our Jump Jam songs.  The senior syndicate had major and minor roles, both on stage and behind the scenes. The rest of the school performed cultural dances from around the Pacific. Shows were sold out and audiences were treated to a spectacular performance. An amazing end result from all our hard work! Well done!

Technolagy rotation

By Anonymous
Hi, bloggers for the past three weeks we have been doing a technology Rotation. We had many different stops like making paper circuits, making a Marble Bridge and making Geo boards . In the paper circuit making we had to try make a light using and LED battery to make a  LED light bulb flash or turn on. After trying that out, we used different materials that have electricity to make a circuit.  Some of the materials we used were LED batteries and light bulbs , tinfoil, split pins and paper clips. Our challenge was to make a switch to turn our LED light bulb  and turn it off again. The thing that I found difficult was trying to get the circuit stable and show perseverance. The next place I went to was making Geo boards. The materials we used were nails, wood and elastic strings.  The Geo board challenge was using measurement to create, using tools to put things together and also taking turns and sharing. The thing I found difficult were nailing the nails in because I ...
