Summer Learning Journey: Towering Timbers

Towering Timbers

I do think we should be allowed to log, only if the tree can't stand much longer and we plant another one in it's place!

Reason 1: I could be for safety.

Reason 2: Some people need it for firewood to keep them warm.

Reason 3: As long as we are planting another one in it's place it should be fine.

Reason 4: If we don't use some off the wood there might not be enough building material for people to be building houses, and some people will need to go homeless!

Summer Learning Journey: Pancakes and Maple syrup?

Pancakes and Maple syrup?

My favourite food is breakfast food is waffles with maple syrup.

ingredients:
50g (2 oz) butter (melted)
1/4 cup sugar
2 eggs 
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup (250 ml/8 fl oz) milk
1 cup self-raising flour

first you add the sugar and eggs to the melted butter, and lightly beat with a fork. stir in the salt and milk, then fold in the flour, mixing just enough to combine ingredients.

heat the waffle iron to a suitable heat (ours is on 5), then spray with non-stick spray. pour the batter onto the prepared iron, close the lid and cook for about 5 minutes (depending on your heat) until everything is evenly cooked and golden brown.

then you can customise them to suit your tastes like add berries, syrup or even ice cream!

Summer Learning Journey: The Secretive Skink

The Secretive Skink 

Pros ✓

1. Getting to research and look after the animals

2. If something goes wrong there are rangers there to check and problem solve 

3. It would be a great leaning opportunity for any ranger that would be interested  

Cons ✗

1. There would probably be a lot of things that the rangers would miss like family, food, other activity's

2. the very few people that are allowed to live on the island might interfere with the program that's happening 

3. Sometimes the problem might not be able to be solved 

I would like to be a ranger, other then missing my friends and family, I think I would enjoy it because I love animals and anything to do with them, and I think it would be the best learning experience.

Summer Learning Journey/Activity 2

Greymouth

Weather: In Greymouth it rains a lot, but then in Summer it can get really hot. The  swimming pool is good for both weathers because it is indoor and has both warm and cool pools. as well as a water slide.

Shops: Because Greymouth is quite small we have the basics like the warehouse, supermarkets, petrol stations e.t.c.

What to do: usually in Greymouth a lot of people go to town and hang out. or the go to the pool, or the park, or a walk along the beach, or you can go grab a coffee.

People: A lot of people in Greymouth are friendly, some will have conversations with you about your day.
