Winter Learning Journey - Day 6, Activity 1

For this activity I had to imagine that I landed in New Zealand on a waka. I had to write a poem about how I felt when I got to New Zealand. 

The beautiful land in my sight I had never seen before,

Waiting to get off the waka getting ready to explore,

Walking around I could not forget the the feeling between my toes,

As I was walking on the grass,

Never have I been happy,

Not forgetting the moment,

I landed in New Zealand

Winter Learning Journey - Day 5, Activity 1

For this activity, I had to imagine I was lost in a forest all by my self. I wrote a 8 - 10 sentence story about what might happen next. 

It was a beautiful day in the forest but I had not forgotten that I was lost all by myself. Strolling across the forest floor I wondered if I was every going to be found. Panicking and pancaking I thought I was lost forever. Imagining my friends were there calmed me a bit down. I heard the sound of a helicopter. I quickly climbed up the highest tree to get their attention. They found me and I was never so happy. I was jumping with joy and quickly went to my friends.  

Winter Learning Journey - Day 4, Activity 1

For this activity I had to read about a place called Farewell Split. It was in the news where whales accidentally swam into the split and got stuck on the beach where they couldn't return to the ocean because the water was to shallow. The local people tried to save them but most of the whales died. I described what the local people did to try and save them: 

1. Pour buckets of water on them. 

2. Put wet towels on them. 

3. They filled their chilly bins, water bottles, pots with water and poured them over the beached whales.
