Day 5 Blink and you'll miss it Activity 3 SLJ

Activity 3 
For this activity we have to imagine that New Zealand is going to sink underwater  Next week and we have to write about what it was like living in New Zealand 2018.

What it Is like living in New Zealand.

New Zealand is placed the third most beautiful country in the world. I am so lucky to live in new zealand it is only an half an hour drive to get to a beach and on that note new zealand has the most beautiful beaches ones with crystal clear water and pale yellow sand. Here in New Zealand on of the most beautiful thing is the Native bush Its lush green and filled with ferns and hanging vines and Native Trees. New Zealand has lots of cities but the main ones are  Auckland which has lots of beautiful volcanoes and beaches. Wellington which is the capital of New Zealand and it has one biggest museum in New Zealand called Te Papa where it has a lot of amazing things like the colossal squid. Christchurch is a cool place with amazing people and loads of fun activities to do there.
Along with everything else there are some amazing natural structures that are very pretty one of them being the Limestone Arches. these arches have a big red river running through these big long limestone arches. Altogether New Zealand is such a cool and Beautiful place to live.

  

Day 5 Blink and you'll miss it Activity 2 SLJ

Activity 2 
For this activity we have to imagine that our teacher decides to take us on a trip to tundra.Then we have to pretend that you are writing a letter to a friend or family member telling them about your experience.

Dear Mum & Dad

Going to tundra was so cool , the grass / shrubs there looked so different and it was freezing. I remember taking my first step outside and the cold hitting me like a thousand knives on my bare skin. That was when they notified me that the temperature was around -27 degrees C i rushed back to but a jacket on then went out to join the others

Me and my group ventured out cross country , the dry grass crunched under your feet when you walked , kinda like when the grass is frozen in the morning. Walking through the dry lands and tiny little streams if you could even call them that the were more like a leak in a swimming pool when it all flows out and it flows to the side.We walked for 10 - 15 minutes then we came to a few small pointy hills when we walked around it everything was covered in a light coat of snow  but when you turned around everything was dry and had small pools of reddish water , but then turn around and its hills and snow and ice, it was just weird.

After we played in the snow and continued walking for a bit it was time to go back when we got back no one was there so we headed in a different direction.We then came to a big lake so big you couldn't see the other side  but mostly  because it was blocked by big icebergs. The water in the lake was covered in small patches of extremely thin ice as thin as paper .We stood there just gazing out at the lake before we were interrupted by a call telling us to come back because they were ready to leave.

That was our adventure and i hope to go again because it was so pretty / Actually go there

Day 5 Blink and you'll miss it Activity 1 SLJ

Activity 1 
For this activity we have to say if we think logging should be allowed in New Zealand and have at least two reasons to support your statement.

I think that we should not allow logging here in new zealand. One reason is that it is killing our environment and we shouldn't be cutting down all of our forests. Another reason is because we would be destroying animals habitats and then slowly some Native animals will die because of habitat loss.
