What I learnt from this <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bySIiPDV6wo">video</a> was that people are helping Africa to get clean water to drink and shower in. Over about 300,000,000 people have died in Africa from dirty water. I also learnt that the women in Africa start their morning searching for water that kill. In Africa they drink all the water they can find even in stagnant pounds, contaminated rivers.. etc<br />
<br />
For the water project their goal is to get better access in drinking healthier water.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7403755651241740697.post-60973107684057967432019-12-03T13:48:00.000-08:002019-12-03T13:48:09.778-08:00Summer Learning Journey - Activity 3: The greatest of all time<div style="text-align: center;">

He is the only friendly giant in his world. In the book, he is very kind towards Sophie. Unlike the other giants he is very friendly and kind. This big friendly giant has to big ears that sit on the sides of his head, and has a strangely big nose. He has long messy grey hair. He wear a brown old ragged vest with a dirty white shirt.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I think that it would be a good idea to get rid of plastic bags at Countdown because many people do not always throw there plastic bags in the rubbish. It is most likely for people to liter so they could be doing that with their plastic bags and will be found either on shore or in the ocean.</span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">When you throw your plastic bag away the rain can possibly send it down a drain which leads to the ocean. Turtles eat Jelly fish so if they spot your plastic bag they will think it is jelly fish. </span></div>

Who would you save? If I had the choice I would probably save animals like the elephant, white tiger and rhinoceros because they are unique and have lived for centuries on earth. I would also like to save some of my favourite flowers including hydrangeas and calla lily flowers. What about you?</span></div>

I imagine myself having butterflies in my stomach and I will be very scared especially to look down to the ground. Over all I know for sure I would love and enjoy ziplining.</span></div>

Even though I have never seen a Taniwha I believe that a Taniwha is not real. For this explanation is because I do not believe creatures that I have not heard about before. If Taniwha's were real it would be great to know more about this mythic or legend creature. Having Taniwha that does not exist does not help at all, therefore, there are many fishers capturing our fish from the sea, river, ocean, and lakes. It would help very much if the Taniwha did exist.</div>
