Day 5

Tell us three things that you could do to help save the planet

Activity 1:

• Save electricity

• Save Water

• Children love to draw to make them busy but they waste a lot of papers, and if this continues then trees would be halfway chopped down. Well my solution is if you already drawn a picture and you have another Idea for another paper reuse the previous paper and draw at the back. This makes your parents money more relaxed.

List the three animals that you have chosen and then compare and contrast them

Activity 2:

I would love to adopt a dog or a cat.

On your blog please tell us:

1. What is one thing that you learned from participating in the Summer Learning Journey programme this year? I learned that summer learning journey was all about Maori legends,  protecting animals and many more.

2. What is one thing that surprised you? I was surprised that reusable litter is used to make dresses and there was an ancient city that is restricted.

3. What is one thing that concerned or upset you? I was upset that our native animals and other are endangered because they are being killed by predators or plastic.

4. What is one thing that you (or your family) can do, moving forward, to help protect our natural environment?

• My family and I could help by not using any plastic bags and use fabric reusable bags.

• Prevent Items from going to Landfill.

Tell us what they think about Countdown’s decision to stop using plastic bags

Activity 2:

I definitely think it is a brilliant Idea because plastics are found in the sea which makes triple threat to the sea creatures and it it unfair if we use non plastic bags than we could use it all over again.

Tell us what you think about the government’s decision to restrict the number of tourists able to visit this special site

Activity 3:

I really love this beautiful view but no tourist or people is allowed to go, I think it is fair because if more people comes to the ancient place it will be damaged and it will look completely horrible it’s like a fire happened there.

As I heard a loud thump outside my window I rushed down stairs, we lived near a forest so basically we get a lot of loud noises but not like this. As I opened the door my hands was sweaty, my legs turned into jello I thought I was about to see a ghost trying to rome my house but instead there was a acid rain storm as I turned my head to the forest direction I assumed the acid rain was harmful as it destroyed the forest, as the acid rain storm finished there wasn’t even a single tree I was so frightened that I thought our house going to melt down. I even saw a bird flapping for his life.
