Once there was a girl named Nasibah she was a highly trained astronaut. She knew the earth was dying so she had to search for a new planet, with help from her trusty pokemon Pikachu. The year was 4017 and Nasibah had to search for a new planet, she and her Pikachu boarded the ship. They counted down for the blast off 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 “Blast Off”.

“Woooooohhhhh” said Nasibah amazed, “Thats a great planet to live on” Nasibah said. So she decided to land on the planet and name it planet Pokemon. Nasibah and her trusty pikachu started to explore when BANG!. A gunshot went off and Nasibah got frightened so she fell in a hole with Pikachu. “Oh no oh no” Nasibah yelled we're going to be stuck here forever. What are we going to do?

When suddenly I found some seeds and a water can. What am I going to do with that? “I know what i'm gonna do” I can plant a tree and sprinkle some magic growth dust nasibah thought in her head.It took two hours for the tree to grow nice and tall to climb.

Finally Nasibah climbed the humongous tree out of the hole.She ran to the ship with pikachu in her hands. She boarded the ship and decided went home.It was the end of my worries.Nasibah just kicked back and relaxed watching shortland street.

I think it is god because you can plant trees and get more oxygen Nasibah Said.We also need to fill in a lot of holes though.It looks like the moon except it's yellow and red.I would live more happier if the holes are covered and if we find out what where the gunshot came from.

Friday, 14 July 2017

Day 7 Activity 2

Activity 2: After you have finished up in Taupo, it is time to hop back in the car and head for Rotorua – a town where will have the chance for some much needed rest and relaxation. In fact, you will visit the Tarawera Bush Pool – a geothermal hot pool that is located in the middle of a forest. The warm water in the pool comes from underneath the ground. After a few hours in the pool you feel really relaxed.On your blog, post a picture of yourself doing something relaxing. I find reading really relaxing. Here is a picture of me reading one of my favourite books!After a long soak in the natural hot pools, it is time to get back home. Your family and friends can’t wait to see you and they can’t wait to hear all about your adventures. Take a moment to think about what you have seen and done over the past week.

I feel relaxed when I read.

Day 7 Activity 1

Activity 1: While in Taupo, you go for a walk around the lake and you notice pieces of rubbish floating in the water. You also notice that there is rubbish on the footpath. As you know, it is really important to put rubbish in the bin and keep New Zealand clean and beautiful for generations to come. With that in mind, it is time think about what you can do to keep New Zealand beautiful. Use your imagination and come up with three things that you could do to make your neighborhood more beautiful. Post your list on your blog 😊😊😊😊😊😊

1.We can start picking up 10 pieces of rubbish everyday

2.We can stop Littering

3.We can Recycle

4.We can Add More Bins In Our Community

5.We should make up a new Kind A Bin For Metal

Activity 2: After the adventure at The Lewis Pass Scenic Reserve, you are pretty happy to get back into the shuttle van and continue with your road trip. Over the next few hours you travel up and over the Southern Alps, arriving in the city of Christchurch to eat lunch. You have a delicious meal at a café downtown and then hop back into the van to travel to Twizel, a small town at the base of Aoraki-Mt Cook. Mt Cook is the largest mountain in New Zealand. It is also the mountain where Sir Edmund Hillary trained for his climb up Mt Everest – the tallest mountain in the world. Sir Edmund Hillary is very famous because he was the first person to ever reach the top of Mt Everest!

Now it is your turn to learn about a famous New Zealander. Use Google to research one famous person from New Zealand and then create a DLO and post it on your blog. Be sure to include: 1. The name of the famous person, 2. Where they were born, 3. Why they are famous, and 4. Two other interesting facts about them.

Day 5 Activity 1

Activity 1: After a few hours in the car, you, your group and Curious Kiwi arrive at your first stop – The Lewis Pass Scenic Reserve. It is a beautiful, regional park located at the base of the Southern Alps. You and your group get out of the van and follow Curious Kiwi. He is going to lead you on a short walk through the park. As you start walking, you notice a really cool looking tree on the side of the trail and you stop to take a closer look. When you turn back, the group (and Curious Kiwi) is nowhere to be found. Eek! You are all alone in the middle of a strange forest.

For this activity write a short story (8-10 sentences) about what might happen next. Please be sure to include lots of details about what you might be feeling, seeing and doing after you realise that you are all alone in the forest...

I reached closer to the tree when I turned around I was alone! Nothing to see all there was were trees.”I need to find my friends”.

So I walked along the track when I took a turn.Splash!I was so wet I have fallen in the Lewis river.I climbed out of the river and started to walk along the track.

I tried to climb a tree but it was to tall I thought I would have fallen off.I tried to follow the way I Came from when I was with Curious Kiwi.I had no hope I thought I was going to be stuck here forever.Then I found Curious Kiwi.Hooray!That Day I decided to never give up.

Day 3 Activity 2

Activity 2: After your great visit to the Otorohanga bird house it is time to hop back onto the bus and head towards the Hawke’s Bay – your resting place for the evening. Hawke’s Bay is a beautiful region of New Zealand. It is known for its wineries and gorgeous scenery. When you arrive in Napier, the largest city in the region, you go for a walk through Waitangi Regional Park and notice that many of the leaves on the native trees have been damaged. Curious Kiwi tells you that they were damaged by possums, non-native predators, from Australia. People in New Zealand are working hard to trap and kill these predators. Their goal is to remove all of the possums (and other predators) by 2050. Go to the ‘Predator Free 2050 website’ to read more about their work.On your blog, tell us whether you agree that New Zealand should be predator free. In your opinion, is it right to kill all of the predators (eg. possums) or should we just leave them alone? On your blog tell us what you think and give us, at least, three reasons why you think this way.

Once you have finished your blog post, it is time to relax for the evening. You and your friends have a nice dinner and then head to bed. You are just about to fall asleep when you hear something moving around outside your hotel. It sounds like a large bird. Maybe it’s a Moa…

To learn more about the Moa bird go to the bonus activity for today!

I Think We Should Get Rid Of Predators Because They Are So Annoying. I also Think They Should Be Predator Free Because I want More Native Animal Then Other Animals.I also Think They should go because they would eat all the native birds.

Day 3 Activity 1

Activity 1: Curious Kiwi, a native New Zealand bird, is your tour guide for today. He is going to take you to visit the Otorohanga Kiwi House and Native Bird Park where many of his aunties and uncles currently live. The bird park is a five hour drive from Dargaville so you hit the road right after breakfast and arrive in Otorohanga at lunch time. As you walk through the birdhouse you learn about the work being done to conserve and protect the native birds of New Zealand. You decide to help out by ‘adopting’ a native animal. Visit the ‘Adopt a Critter page’ on the Otorohanga bird house website to choose one animal to adopt. On your blog, tell us the name of the animal that you chose and a little bit about them. What kind of animal are they? What do they eat? Where do they normally live? You can use Google to help you with your research.

For my task I picked Tuatara as the Animal im adopting. Tuataras are a reptile it is endemic to New Zealand Its Scientific Name Is Sphenodon. They Eat The tuatara primarily preys on insects, beetles, spiders,birds eggs, frogs and small reptiles and mammals.Island homes. Tuatara once lived throughout the mainland of New Zealand but have survived in the wild only on 32 offshore islands.
