Dad:
1. He likes to go over to his friends house
2. He likes to work

Younger Sister:
1. She likes to swim in our own mini swimming pool
2. She likes to watch youtube videos on her tablet

Summer Learning Journey

The 2nd activity for week 1 day 3 for The Summer Learning Journey is to write a pepeha. A pepeha is when you talk about yourself. Here is my pepeha

Ko Maungarei te maunga The mountain that I affiliate to is Mount Wellington

Ko Tamaki te awa   The river that I affiliate to is Tamaki

Ko New Zealand ahau I am from New Zealand

Ko Shweba rāua ko R'sidar ōku mātua  My parents are Shweba and R'sidar

Ko Oh Hsen tōku ingoa. My name is Oh Hsen

Summer Learning Journey

For this Summer Learning Journey activity I had to explain on my blog if I wanted to live in a big family, why or why not. I don't think that I would like to be in a family because: my house will be packed and more than 2 people would be sharing a room, older siblings might pick on me and I might have to take care of younger siblings. Something interesting I learnt was that back in the 1800s amount of children parents would have were 7 - 9.

This is my DLO on the opening times and ticket prices at Kelly Tarlton's. There were so many ticket price options so, I decided to show them by taking screenshots. I enjoyed completing this task because of the one thing I found interesting which was how the opening times were all the same.

I have created an infographic on the Short Tailed Stingray. For this task I had to create an infographic on a sea creature that is in Kelly Tarlton's. This is Day 3's 2nd activity if we included images and attributed them we would get full points. There were a lot of new things I found out about the Short Tailed Stingray. I really enjoyed completing this activity.

This is day 3's first activity which was to find the ticket price for me to go there then, the ticket prices for my family to visit there. One thing I found in common with Kelly Tarlton's and Rainbow's End is that if you buy tickets online it's cheaper. I had fun doing this activity because it involved a bit of maths.

Winter Learning Journey

For this Winter Learning Journey activity I had to read about how people in New Zealand are trying to get rid of pests such as Possums. After I had read why they want to get rid of them, I had to write why I agree.

1. They are eating a kokako's (endangered NZ bird) eggs. 

2. They carry deadly diseases that can spread easily, which could kill other things.

3. They are doing a lot of damage to our native trees.

Winter Learning Journey

For this activity I had to choose a native NZ bird I would like to adopt. I then needed to find facts about it. I chose the Red Crowned Kakariki (Red Crowned parakeet). Here are some facts.

Identification: Red Crowned Kakariki's are a long tailed parrot.

Habitat: Kermadec Islands, there also have been sightings of them at Raoul and Macauley Islands.

Diet: Red Crowned Kakariki's are omnivores. They mainly seeds. They also eat flowers, invertebrates, some scale insects, which they mainly eat before breeding.
