The Black Drain

On your blog, tell us:

1) The names of the rivers. 2) The location of the rivers. 3) What is being done to clean up the rivers (if anything).

1st River.
The Grey River is in North West of the South Island of New Zealand and meets the sea near where I live in Greymouth.
It is being polluted by sewage from the surrounding towns and I can't find anything that says they are trying to stop this from happening.
Grey River, near Greymouth.



2nd River.
The Mokihinui River is just North of Westport on the West Coast of the South Island of New Zealand.
It is being polluted by waste products and milk from the surrounding farms.
I can find anything that says they are going to do anything about this.

Mokihinui River, North of Westport.

What do you think about this rule? Is it fair that people are charged up to $100 000 for overfishing?

On your blog, tell us what you think about this rule and why you think it!.

I think that people shouldn't be charged $100 000, because not everyone has $100 000 dollars and it seems like a lot of money. I'd say at least 50 000 dollars maybe.
If people make a mistake with fishing it wouldn't be fair to ask them to pay that much money.

  

Summer Learning Journey Week 2 Day 4 Part 3 Picture Perfect

Picture Perfect

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.

I choose the first one.

I think this selfie is showing a sports team after they have won their competition. I think it is taken in a big stadium and they look very happy which is why I think they have won. I don't know what sport it is but it might be rugby, soccer or maybe basketball. They are all wearing the same blue ribbon around their neck and it looks like it might have a medal on the end of it. The are all men who look healthy and happy to have won.

Summer Learning Journey Week 2 Day 4 Part 1 Planes, Trains and Automobiles

Planes, Trains and Automobiles

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.

The Boat.

If I was going to go to Milford Sound I would choose to go there on a boat. The reason I have chosen the boat is because I'm not a big fan of heights or walking long distances. I think the boat would travel at a nice speed to see the scenery up close and it looks very expensive.

Summer Learning Journey Week 2 Day 3 Part 3 The Midnight Zone

The Midnight Zone

The squid weighs approximately 500 kg.

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?

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.

It would end up taking 20 Adults to lift it if they all lifted 25kg

20 x 25 = 500Kgs

or 500Kgs divided by 25Kgs = 20 Adults

Night Owls

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 I am an early riser because I like to wake up early and get on my computer.

My Brother would also be an early riser as he is the first awake every morning.

My Dad would probably be a night owl as he likes to stay up late.
