🎣 Activity 1 ( Off The Menu )🎣

I think it is fair that people should be forced to pay a fine for fishing in overfished areas. I think this because since that area has been overfished, rarely any fish will be caught and some might be breeding and fishing will disturb them. I think people should be paid a fine but not a high as 100,000. Somewhere between 50,000 to 80,000.

🌊Activity 2 ( The Black Drain ) 🌊

Polluted Rivers In NZ.

Waikirikiri River 

This river is located in Selwyn, Canterbury.

There are no statements saying how they are going to stop pollution in the river but the Green party is solving the issue.

Ruamahanga River
South Eastern North Island

Local Communities and farmers are helping restore its health.

🎆 Summer Learning Journey - Day 4 - Week 2 🎆

🎆 Spectacular, Spectacular 🎆

Activity 1 ( Planes, Trains & Automobiles )
In this activity, we have to write about which transport we will take to Milford Sound and why?

We were given an option to travel to Milford Sound through boat, helicopter or by foot. If I was to travel to Milford Sound I would choose a helicopter because of the scenery. Travelling in the air is usually more exciting than by boat or foot. Plus it would be my first time on a helicopter.

Activity 2 ( Its All In The Name )

Think of names that we can call the devils bath in Rotorua.

1. Alien Invasion

2. The Swamp 

3. Snot Lake 

These are some I have created.

Activity 1 ( Night Owls )

Activity 1 ( Weaving A Tall Tale )

For this activity, we have to write whether or not we would weave with flax.

Flax

I would love to try flax weaving because it looks really enjoyable, and you can make quite a lot of interesting things out of it. Flax weaving looks difficult but one day I would love to try this amazing art.

Activity 2 ( Mighty Mangroves )

My mum is someone who I think is strong and tough because she can stand any obstacle and still be able to smile. She is someone who gives off a positive vibe and loves helping others in need. She is an amazing role model and is a real comedian. These are some reasons why I think my mother is so strong and tough.

Activity 3 ( Stranger Than Fiction ) 

Venus Flytrap & Pitcher Plant:

Similarities :

- They are both carnivorous plants.

- Both plants eat small insects and animals.

- Both plants use leaves to trap their food.

Differences:

-The Venus Flytrap uses special lobes to trap animals whereas the pitcher plant uses a fluid.

-The Pitcher Plant is found in south-east Asia and the Venus Flytrap is found in Eastern Carolina.

-The Venus Flytrap gives off nectar to attract insects however the Pitcher Plant attracts insets through its deep red colour.
