Summer Learning Journey - Week 2 Day 3 Activity 1: Night Owls

DAY 3: First You ‘Sea’ Me, Now You Don’t…

Activity 1: Night Owls [4 points]

Here in New Zealand we have many amazing and unique sea creatures, including penguins. The blue penguin, or kororā, is particularly special because it is the smallest penguin in the entire world! Blue penguins are typically found on the east coast of the South Island in places like Oamaru but they can be hard to spot as they rarely leave the water. If they do come onto land it is usually at night, when most of us are sound asleep! That’s because they are nocturnal. Not all of us, however, sleep all night. In fact, some people love to stay awake late into the evening. People who like to stay up late are called ‘night owls.’ Are you a night owl or are you an early riser, like me? I typically wake up every day around 6:00 a.m. and jump out of bed, ready to start the day!

On your blog, tell us whether you are a night owl or an early riser. Then, tell us about the rest of your family. Are they the same as you?

I would say that I am both night owl and an early riser. It is most likely for me to fall asleep late in the weekends and holidays. Most weekdays I wake up early like around 5:00.

My family is also both, but only because they like watching a lot of movies during the night time, or sometimes we eat dinner late. Sometimes my family is likely to wake up early because we all like traveling and going out.
