Day 2 week 3 = flying fungi = Activity 3 SLJ

On your blog, tell us how you would solve this tricky maths problem. Be sure to also post your final answer in days or weeks.

Let’s imagine that we tested the air in your classroom and found 7 different kinds of mould. Eek! The cleaner says that it takes 5 days for each mould to be eradicated (removed). If the school had to remove each mould one at a time, how long would it take to remove all the mould from the classroom?

5 x 7 = 35
35 divided by 5 = 7

Day 1 week 3 = Togs or trackies = activity 1 SLJ

On your blog, tell us what time of year you think is best for tourists for come and visit. Be sure to share at least three things that tourists could do while they were here in NZ.

I believe that tourists should come in winter.

In winter there's hot water pool in rotorua the thermal pool. It would be so calming and relaxing. If the tourist is not a psychocentric and instead is a Allocentric (definitions will be after the text)  Then the best thing they could do is go skiing and snowboarding at ruapehu. It is an incredibly fun activity to do in the winter. If the tourist is more of a celebrational person then theres always maori new year. They do fireworks and have large feasts that you can buy. Not only that but on some events they even put up a little show. Lastly if the tourist just has nothing to do and there attracted to the ocean, they can always go whale watching. It's always so magnificent watching the whales swim. It only depends on what the tourist likes.

Definitions:

Psychocentric: A calm and steady person

Allocentric: A extreme and adventurous person

Day 5 week 2 = Faded glory = Activity 3 SLJ

wairua river

Kaipara harbour

Using different solutions ( Using different types of liquids ) to increase sediment and improving the ecosystem.

Kaipatiki river

Day 5 week 2 = wasting away = Activity 1 SLJ

What do you think about this rule? Is it fair that people are charged up to $100 000 for overfishing? On your blog, tell us what you think about this rule and why you think it!

It depends on the situation and the marine life in the restricted area. I think if an area is over-fished, there must be enough signs and awareness that its a restricted, overfished area. The fine should suit the crime. The reasoning for this is because I believe if you are starving and are just grabbing 2-6 fishes to feed your family, I think it should be a cheap fine and not $100,000. it's like buying food for $100,000 dollars. That's why it should depend on the situation for the fine. 

Day 4 Week 2 = picture perfect = Activity 3 SLJ

 On your blog, write a short story about what you think is happening in the picture. Be sure to tell us where you think the people are and what you think they were doing at the time that they stopped to pose for the selfie. To earn full points, the story must be 8 – 10 sentences long.

I believe this photo was taken in venice, the floating city. Venice is a area in italy.
While taking a turn following her tour guide she decided to stand on the edge to take a gorgeous selfie. Featuring the floating city behind her. It was probably very horrifying but this is NOT a selfie. Why? Because a selfie is a photo of an individual, like a face portrait. But clearly that's not a face and its taken by someone else. To add on this would be a good photo if she wasn't wearing heels.

A helicopter is a perfect way to explore, to take in the beautiful sighting of the land.

500 Kg = squid
25 Kg = Adult
15 Kg = child

Adults - - > 25 x 20 = 500

I decided adults should carry the squid. You don't need kids, but to combine.

children -->15 x 30 = 450
Adults ------->25 x 2 = 50

add the two quals 500 yay

Day 3 week 2 = Night owls = activity 1 SLJ

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 am a night owl, I spend my life in the dark and sleep in the day. My household is the same. My grandmother, my dad, my mom, me and my brother are all night owls and are different to the rest of the family. My moms 3 brothers and 1 sister are all early risers. So one fifth of my family is night owlers and the rest are the early risers. To tell the truth our night owls are divided by the ones who can wake themselves up, and the ones who sleep for hours.The adult females usually wake up first. My dad, my brother and I, we can sleep for 12 hours in the day, without noticing. Even if the lawnmower man was working in our backyard, we still wouldn't notice. Unless someone was forcing us to wake up.Which is usually my mom.

Groot was the one who helped make thor's hammer, Groot was the one who set Rocket (the raccoon) and yondu (the guy who kept starlord away from his actual dad) free. Groot is also kind hearted and even sacrificed himself in GOTG (guardians of the galaxy) Vol 1. That is when he was reborn. He is strong and is always able to return to battle. Adding on he only speaks groot.

Day 2 week 2 = Fabulous Flora = activity 1 SLJ

On your blog, tell us whether or not you would like to try flax weaving. Does it interest you? Why or why not?

I actually have already try weaving, but I would love to weave again, but in a more comfortable area. May Be near a waterfall, or near the ocean, or on a hill. It would be so calming to weave there instead of a classroom with no open windows. My favorite part of the lesson was listening to the history of the weave basket. Its was so interesting, and the activity itself was amazing.

If you would like to make it yourself I believe this link to making a kono (food basket) is helpful
(this is not my video, Its youtube channel is craftlab nz. There youtube channel is great.)
