School is about to start again for a new year. Yay! Imagine that you walked into your classroom and your teacher asked you to stand up in front of the class and talk about the country that you visited. On your blog, you can:

1. Post a short video clip of yourself talking about the country that you visited and the things that you learned (1 – 2 minutes)
2. Type out what you would say to the class if you had 1 – 2 minutes to speak.

I would share to the class a 1-2 min speak: That I had a wonderful time at Germany, I’ve  learnt amazing facts about their country. I also enjoyed seeing the outstanding sights such as the beautiful Brandenburg Gate and to be honest  I absolutely don't mind travelling back to Germany!

After four full weeks of planning and travelling, you are now safely back in New Zealand. You have now had some time to relax and to reflect on your experiences. What are two things that you have learned from your travels? On your blog, tell us about any two things that you have learned.

• One thing that I have learnt from travelling is that you need to know which airline you're going on. Pay good attention because you might missed your plane or would unluckily be in the wrong airplane.  

• One other thing that I’ve learnt from travelling is to always stick to (whoever is travelling with you) or else both of you might as well just get completely lost and would unfortunately  end up in different countries.

Activity 1

Imagine that you have just arrived at the airport in Auckland. Your whole family is there to greet you. They can’t wait to hear all about your trip! You decide that you’ll go home and have a special meal together to celebrate your return. Your mum offers to make you anything that you would like to eat. On your blog, tell us what you would choose to have for your special meal.

If it was me, I would ask for homemade hamburgers with ketchup, American-style mustard, onions, tomato and lettuce; Cajun-style wedges with tomato sauce and Greek salad with cherry tomatoes and lots of feta cheese. For dessert I would ask for vanilla cake with chocolate icing and Neapolitan ice cream. What would you ask for?

The meal that I want to have on my return would be Pasta with mashed potato. "It's my favourite dish!"

For dessert I would like to have banana cake with passion fruit ice cream.

The Canadian government has decided to build the longest walking trail in the world. It is called the ‘Great Trail’ and it covers 15 000 miles. Wow! For this activity, we are drawing inspiration from this walking trail and thinking about our own footprints.

Your task is to use DrawIsland tool to create your own digital footprint. The footprint must include your name and the name of the country that you are visiting. Otherwise, you can decorate it in any way that you want. It’s totally up to you! Once you have drawn your footprint, save it, and then upload it to your blog.

Here is my Foot print:

HOPE...you liked it :)

Activity 2

These days there are, literally, dozens of different kinds of vehicles that we can use. Some of them are quite familiar (eg. car, truck, bus) but some are very unique and different. Watch this Youtube clip of the most Amazing vehicles ever made.

When you have finished tell us which of the vehicles you liked the most. On your blog tell us the name of the vehicle and the reasons why you liked it so much. There are a number of pretty interesting options!

The name of this amazing vehicle that I like is called = Half bike ( feel free to search it up ….if you want) Anyways I liked this Vehicle because it looks super fun to ride on it and besides it doesn’t look that dangerous to ride on it! When I first saw the Half bike .. I nearly fell in love with the Half bike.. hahah...I wonder if the inventors sell it in Nz . If they do so I would definitely buy that Half bike … I wouldn’t mind riding it to school, just like a normal bike but partially a different kind.

Activity 1

Let’s imagine that the neighbouring town was about 30 kilometres away. There are a number of beautiful villages and interesting things to see along the way. You have four options for this trip. You can take a:

1. Train – 25 minute ride; No stops along the way; $12 for the trip (return)
2. Bus – 45 minute ride; Two stops along the way to look at interesting villages; $8 for the trip (return)
3. Scooter – 1 hour ride; Unlimited number of stops; $5 for the trip (return)
4. Bicycle – 2 hour ride; Unlimited number of stops but there are some hills along the way; $1 (return)

On your blog, tell us which of these four options you would choose and why!

I would choose the Train – 25 minute ride; No stops along the way; $12 for the trip (return) because I don’t like slow Vehicles such as (option 4 = The Bicycle). I like fast Vehicles because they can take you to places quickly. Well that’s surely because there is no stopping when the train is running on the railway which is really unlike the traffic...where cars have to stop before their signal tells them when they go etc. when the light turns green it's time for the cars to drive past, while the other cars wait ( when the other cars wait it means that their signal is red which means stop).

Bonus Activity

The New Zealand government is trying to save the kakapo. They are looking for creative ideas. What do you think they could do? On your blog, tell us what you think should be done to save the kakapo. Please be as creative as you can!

They should get all the 55 Kakapo birds and put them in a safe place in the Zoo.. so the  people who are in the Zoo can look after and feed them.. but don't put all the 55 Kakapo birds in just 1 place.. but put them in separate places so each birds has their own space for themselves....I tell you, you sure don't want those birds to get handy.. they might steal each other nests...so yeah..

( I know this might not be a creative idea but It’s all I got in mind )
