Summer Learning Journey - Week 4 Day 5 Activity 3: Concluding the Journey

Activity 3: Concluding the Journey [10 points]

Sadly, the Summer Learning Journey has now come to an end. It is time to reflect on everything that you have learned about the environment and, particularly, about how you can protect and preserve it.

1. There are many things that I have learnt about while going through the Summer Learning Journey but I mostly enjoyed was "Taking Flight".

2. I was both supprised and impressed in "Salt and pepper",.

3. The activity that concerned me or upseted me was"Predator Free".

4. My family or myself will encourage as much people as possible to be safe and healthy.  

Summer Learning Journey - Week 4 Day 5 Activity 2: Adoption Day

Activity 2: Adoption Day [4 points]

Not only can you help the planet by reducing, reusing and recycling, you can also help to save animals and plants by ‘adopting’ them. To ‘adopt’ an animal through the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), you need to visit their adopt a species page, read through the list of animals and choose one.

With the WWF, you don’t actually adopt the animal and bring it home! It’s a symbolic adoption. In this case you pay a fee ($55.00) and the money is used to provide food and care for your chosen animal. Visit the WWF site and take a look at the animals who are available for adoption. Choose your ‘top three’ animals from the website.

On your blog, list the three animals that you have chosen and then compare and contrast them. How are they similar? How are they different? At the bottom of you post, tell us which of the three animals you would most like to adopt..

1. Cheetah

2. Leopard

3. Tiger

All three animals that I have chosen are part of the cat family.

These three big cats have different patterns on their body.

I would choose the leopard to adopt and take care of.

Summer Learning Journey - Week 4 Day 5 Activity 1: Environment Day

DAY 5: The Sky’s the Limit!

Activity 1: Environment Day - Beat Plastic Pollution [4 points]

Every year we celebrate World Environment Day in June. On World Environment Day we do what we can to protect our planet. This year the focus is on reducing the use of plastic bags and water bottles. Watch this Environment Day video to learn more about it!

What could you and your family do to protect the planet?

On your blog tell us three things that you could do to help save the planet.

1. I would encourage people to stop littering.

2. I think everyone should always support each other so we have a positive planet.

3. Everyone should eat their fruits and veges 5 times a day.

Summer Learning Journey - Week 4 Day 4 Activity 3: Restricted Access

Activity 3: Restricted Access [10 points]

While much of our programme has focused on New Zealand, it is important that we also consider the environment in other places as well. One of the most unusual and spectacular sites to visit outside of New Zealand is called Machu Picchu. It is an ancient city that was built high up in the mountains in the country of Peru in South America. You have to take a train and/or walk through a series of mountains and valleys to reach it.

    

Over the past few decades millions of tourists have made the trek to Machu Picchu. Unfortunately, this has damaged the area and the local government has decided to restrict the number of visitors to the site each year. This decision has upset a lot of tourists who really want to see Machu Picchu but aren’t allowed to go.

On your blog, tell us what you think about the government’s decision to restrict the number of tourists able to visit this special site. Is it fair? Be sure to tell us why you feel the way that you do.

Summer Learning Journey - Week 4 Day 4 Activity 2: The Plastic Pledge

Activity 2: The Plastic Pledge [4 points]

Over the past few decades some of New Zealand’s beaches have become dumping grounds for waste and rubbish. Almost 80% of this waste is made up of plastic items. Yikes!

Some companies in New Zealand have heard about the problem and agreed to cut down on their use of plastic. Countdown supermarkets, for example, have announced that they will stop giving out plastic bags to customers.  What do you think of this idea? What do your friends and family think? Is it a good idea or not?

For this activity, please ask one member of your family and/or a friend what they think about Countdown’s decision to go ‘plastic bag free.’

On your blog, tell us what they think about Countdown’s decision to stop using plastic bags.

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.

Did you know?

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.

Summer Learning Journey - Week 4 Day 4 Activity 1: Campaigning for Conversation

DAY 4: Making Promises

Activity 1: Campaigning for Conservation [4 points]

New Zealand is home to so many beautiful, unique and, sometimes, endangered animals and habitats. The Forest & Bird organisation is working really hard to protect vulnerable animals and places in NZ. They are doing everything that they can to raise money and to raise awareness so that everyone knows about these issues. These are called ‘campaigns.’ Check out the Forest & Bird campaigns site to learn more about them.

Imagine, that you have been hired by Forest & Bird New Zealand to work on one of their campaigns. It is your job to come up with a catchy slogan for the campaign. A slogan is a short phrase or sentence that is used to advertise something. Check out examples of common slogans and logos below.

    

On your blog, tell us which campaign you have chosen to support and provide us with a slogan for that campaign.

I have chosen Mcdonalds "I’m Lovin It". Mcdonalds serves delicious bugers such as Big Macs,

Filet-o-fish, cheese burger and more. Mcdonalds also has flavord drink and frozen flavored

drinks such as Sprite, coke, rassberry, fanta and a lot more. Many people love eating at

Mcdonalds for the delicious meals they make for us.
