SLJ Week 3, Day 1 #Activities 1,2,3 (2018-2019)

Activity #1

On your blog, tell us what time of the year you think is best for the tourist to come and visit. Be sure to share at least three things tourist would do while they were here in New Zealand.

I think it best to come in Summer, because our country is surrounded with nature -Water and Trees). New Zealand gets very dry and hot, so it's best to chill in water. I suggest going to beautiful beaches and eating hot fish and chips, after. You could go to Bay of Islands and try there waves for surfing, swimming or sailing. I have tried sailing and I recommend it, it is really a great fun. Go hiking, and look down beautiful view. You could visit Rangitoto, then visit it beautiful water.

Activity #2 

On your blog, list 5 different things that we can do to protect ourselves from the sun this summer.

1.Sunscreen

2.Hat that will cover your ears

3.Sunglasses

4. Stay hydrated

5. Wear loose clothing, and lightweight clothing.

Activity #3

SLJ Week 2, Day 5 #Activities 1,2,3 (2018-2019)

Activity #1

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

In my opinion I suppose there are 2 sides of the story. Firstly I believe that this should be allowed, because here in New Zealand we do have native fish. This topic is also like log hunting, how log hunting is hurting our native birds. Anyway we need to keep our native fish alive due to it being less popular, and it could attract tourist. On the other hand I find this fine idea not supported. People are fishermen doing their jobs trying to earn money for there families. How are fisherman suppose know how many fish to catch. I think the money fine is too high, lower it down to 15,000. Summarizing all up I suppose, yeah it's fair to pay the price, if they know they were overfishing, and lower the price.

When I reach the beach I firstly feel the fresh breeze hitting against myself, and search the view.

New Zealand is a fantastic unique place to come an visit ,you can see the sunset with beautiful colours to point where there is a bright sunset and the trees are a silhouette. New Zealand is one of the greenest of places you could ever image. In the morning open your curtains, "BAM"all you see is the fresh green things around you, also embrace fresh air while air. Over here in New Zealand there are appetizing foods you could eat such as a kiwi burger, or a hangi. There are some magnificent beaches and pools to go like, Piha beach and many more. One attractive thing I enjoy is the lights on Auckland Sky Tower. I used to do paper runs around the city and I always got to get a great witness of the Sky Tower changing beautiful bright colors

Dear Carmen trips come and go, but this is one to remember. When I visit Tundra the weather was excitedly very cold, but when I went to bed I had to use 3 thick blankets. The next day we went photo hunting, our image was a wild caribou, which we indeed kept our distance with. It was so unique and different, I was so astonished because it was my first time witnessing a caribou up close. The other tourist I was with we went river floating. The water was so pristen in all areas, and to be able to river floating in it was fantastic. While relaxing I got chills down my spine, I took a deep breath and realised that there was a cold frost air released from my mouth was so new. If I came again I will definitely will take you, to enjoy the chilly new vibes there.

SLJ( Week 1 Day 5 Activity 1) 2018-2019

What to do: On your blog tell us whether you think logging should be allowed in New Zealand. Be sure to provide at least two reasons to support your argument.

For the first reason I supposed logging should not be a "thing" in New Zealand, why because our country embraces nature very well, and tourist enjoy New Zealand nature. Also tourist come to New Zealand for our beautiful views sun setting to the huge pure nature trees. For the second reason trees are really important for our native animals such as a Red Crowned Parakeet. We have native birds that can fly such as the Red Crowned Parakeet, Tui's, Saddleback and many more. Have more consideration for our native New Zealand birds, who has no say. Think about this topic very hard because it doesn't take 5 minutes to decided, feel free to comment if you have any questions, or what you suppose should be done. Thanks

SLJ( Week 1 Day 3 Activity 3) 2018-2019

What to do: Once you have watched the video, go to your blog and, using full sentences, tell us:

1) The name of the animal the WWF is working to save.

2) What the WWF is doing to help the animal.

3) What, If any, success they have had protecting the animal

The name of the animal they are trying to save are the saimaa ringed seal because they are nearly extinct in this entire world there are only about 360 left. By helping the animal they build snow banks for the seals to give birth in. If there were no snow banks then they would be given birth on the open ice giving them human disturbance, no protection from predators or the cold. They are succeeding on making snow banks, but they have to have a long term plan based on climate change, because with climate change it will melt the ice so there will be no protection for the animals.

TO EVERYBODY READING THIS: No matter where we are near or far help out. Let's work together to make our earth better, remember we can CHANGE we CHANGE we can CHANGE

-Live with a few people on a island which is good, because I love being independent 

Bad Thing~

DLO:Rounding Large Numbers

Today I created a DLO showing how to round up large numbers. I suppose that I found this task very easy, and very creative.

Don't hesitate to leave a comment for help or answers. Thanks

Astria Countdown To Impact

“Students don’t learn much playing this game called Astria – Countdown to Impact: Their time could be better spent doing other things”.

Do you agree, disagree or partly agree/disagree?

Reading this comment I partly disagree. In this writing I will be explaining why I disagree. This activity/game is very useful if you ask me. Why you may ask? Well this game contains cool characters, exploring new places, learning new stronger vocab and many more, and if you enjoy space this is the game for you. This game helps to try notice if a reading is bias, what source is reliable Click for example(Site that is not reliable), and facts. You read a story and see how good the facts, source and bias is you rate between highest and lowest.

Two sides of the story. I also partly agree, why? I partly agree because this game has a lot of suggestions. This game is for kids and with a little tweak kids will attract it more. In my opinion I suppose that they should also add audio, because parents and adults know well the kids don't enjoy reading, but do like stories. They should also add more animations because it is more kids style. They had cool charters, but since it has to do something about space they should add space creatures such as aliens. They should also add grooving and hype music just to keep kids entertained. This game contains an amount of time you have so I also agree that they should make the days slower. Creators of this game should also write some encouraging messages for kids who will just give up. This is an good idea so kids know it is alright to make a mistake.
