SLJ, DAY 2, WEEK 1, Forest Life

DAY 2:

Activity 1:

Giants Among Us:

I would really like to see Tāne Mahuta, Kauri die back is spreading around the big tree and could soon be infected. Tāne Mahuta is an old Kauri tree and the largest one standing today, it's age is not known today but it is estimated to be around 1,250 and 2,500 years old. Seeing it for what could be the last time sounds really sad, as so many legends and myths will be dieing with it, but if we are lucky Kauri dieback could miss Tāne Mahuta all together.

Activity 2:

Fabulous Ferns:

Basketball:               Women:          Tall Ferns 

Netball:                     Women:          Silver Ferns

Rugby: (Union)        Women:          Black Ferns

Rugby: League         Women:          Kiwi Ferns

Cricket:                     Women:          White Ferns

My Favourite Uniform is the black ferns uniform, probably because it's something like what I would wear!

Activity 3:

Weird and Wonderful:

3ml of water every day for a year to feed a plant, how much water do you use for the one plant?

3ml x 365  

That equals 1,095ml

Summer Blogging Challenge Week 1 Day 2 Activity 1+2+bonus

Activity 1: A house or a home?

This is a wharepuni.


















This is my home .

Here are the differences in two different drawings

These 4 things are the same we have Guardians (taniwhas) in front of our house (Sort of)

Both of these are homes to people and shelters. They are homes to us and to all our family values, treasurers and memories, we all live in our own homes happily... Hopefully... 

The Difference with this is that the shape is different our has more of walls and they basically just a sloop.
We have wood, brick, stone, all kinds of materials to build houses and they only had wood and they carved it to tell the story of their history.

Activity 2: The rules of engagement.

Here are my pictures that I have drawn  myself - no tracing just sketching all from my mind. My dream job would be a professional dancer. I am all ready a jazz and ballet dancer. I go to competitions and sometimes earn awards. There is some kind of story in it. It starts with the present, it is a dream of looking in the mirror and your see your future self on pointe (a kind of ballet shoe) and in a pretty tutu.

i want to be a professional dancer because dancing is my passion.  I dance 5 classes a week and love the feeling of finishing a dance knowing i have done really really well. Hope you like :)

And then doing it!

Bonus Activity: Special Meals.

My favourite food is from a restaurant call Joe's Garage. There is a delicious menu and I love the pork belly Mmm. Here it is.

The best descriptive words my Mum said about it was, "God it was good"but her face told another story.  Probably the same with mine...... The meat was juicy and tender, the crackling was crunchy and crackly, the potato was sweet and smooth and I didn't eat the salad.  I am a carnivore😀
