Summer Learning Journey Week 4 Day 5

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

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

1. If I see rubbish on the ground I will pick it up and throw it in the rubbish.

2. I would use bikes or walk to places instead of using cars because cars pollute the air.

3. I tell people to stop smoking because it pollutes the air.

Activity 2: Adoption Day [4 points]

1. German Shepard

2. Arctic Fox

3. Gray Wolf

They are all similar because they are all fast and vicious. They are all different colors and that's what makes them different.

Activity 3: Concluding the Journey [10 points]

On your blog please tell us:

1. What is one thing that you learned from participating in the Summer Learning Journey programme this year?
2. What is one thing that surprised you?
3. What is one thing that concerned or upset you?
4. What is one thing that you (or your family) can do, moving forward, to help protect our natural environment?

One thing I have learned from Summer Learning Journey is about DOC rangers because I didn't even know anything about DOC rangers.

One thing that has surprised me is that most of the activities are about the environment and animals.

One thing that I am concerned about is if I am getting a prize or not.

One thing I can do to protect our natural environment is picking up the rubbish and traveling on foot or on a bike.

Summer Learning Journey Day 4 Week 4

Activity 1: Campaigning for Conservation [4 points]

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

I support Plastic Pledge.

Plastic pledge just recycle it!

Activity 2: The Plastic Pledge [4 points]

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

My brother Laki thinks that Countdown's decision is a thumbs down.

Activity 3: Restricted Access [10 points]

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.

I think that the decision is a thumbs down because people should visit beautiful places like Machu Pichu. Also, a lot of people should be able to see Machu Pichu but they should destroy things.
