1) The name of the animal the WWF is working to save.
The animals the WWF is working to save is Tigers but there main goal is to save endangered Saimaa seal pups / Saimaa seals.

2) What the WWF is doing to help the animals.

Seals usually give birth to pups on snow mounts and if not the pups may have to be given birth on ice which isn't good because one predators are free to get them, they will get cold and because of human disturbance so the WWF is building snow banks for them.

3) What, if any, success they have had protecting the animal.

There will be more Saimaa seals in the world because currently there are about 360 individuals left.

I think I would like to become a wild life DOC ranger. I think this because in my opinion I love animals and wild life itself. It would also be amazing to meet a uncommon Chevron Skink. For our activity this week was finding out about what DOC ranger's do and learning bits about the Chevron Skink. After we found out some information we had to list three pros ( good ) and three cons ( bad ) about working as a DOC ranger.

Summer learning journey : Week 1 Day 2

I would like to visit Tane Mahuta one day. My reasons for this is because I could learn more about the history and also get the full experience and see more of the true beauty of nature. Also the endemic tree at the Tane Mahuta walk has a story. I also love seeing the true beauty of nature and everything about it. I find nature amazing and unique. Especially because it has a story behind it. Also without nature we wouldn't have most of the things we have today.

Summer learning journey : Week 1 day 1

Summer learning journey week 1 day 1.

For my whole life I have lived in Auckland a city in New Zealand. I find living in Auckland really cool and most of the time its really sunny and hot when it comes to weather in Auckland. People that I meet are friendly and there are many amazing places to visit like the Sky Tower, The Auckland Museum and other amazing places linked to Auckland. I'm proud to have Auckland as my home town. Also Auckland is the largest city in New Zealand ! I really enjoy visiting different places and generally meeting new nice people around my country. Around the city there are lots of parks you can visit that can keep you entertained. Night markets also are scattered around which are pretty cool places you should go too. Lots of food and games are show cased at the night markets. My favourite place to visit is the Sky Tower. Inside the sky tower are three stages. My favourite place in the Sky Tower is the restaurant Fortuna.

3 Fun Facts about New Zealand I found interesting!

There are no snakes native in New Zealand which surprised me a lot since I really thought that snakes are native to bits of New Zealand.

30% percent of the country is forest which I found interesting because for me I thought New Zealand was a really wild life country home to many animals.

I never knew that the largest city in New Zealand is actually Auckland and not the capital city Wellington.

Who Am I? / Research

This week Chavda and I has been working on a google presentation on Who Am I ? We have researched different people that was firstly unknown and we had to use our smart searching skills to find out who they were. Each person are different and has different backstories to each one. Although I really learnt a lot when researching about the people featured in our google slide and I also had some help from a few friends. I really enjoyed doing this task as I gained a lot of knowledge and I also found out more about other famous people that helped the world by doing something good.

Bill Hamilton

Today Magenta, Joel, Chavda and I has done a team challenge which included only 4 people in each group. Our topic that we researched about was a famous kiwi inventor. As a group Magenta, Joel, Chavda and I agreed on the same inventor which was Bill Hamilton. We created a DLO to show how Bill Hamilton created the first Jet boat. The first jet boat that was created was named after Bill Hamilton last name. 

We created our own characters to show a conversation between a reporter and Bill Hamilton.  Bill Hamilton created it because he had a dream about crossing a river back to his home land or home.

City of sails tasks.

Yesterday I started doing activities from the City if sails matrix sheet. I have made 5 DLO's in total. All of them link to Auckland but mainly New Zealand its self. I decided to make a DLO about 5 New Zealand Native Plants and Animals, Pavlova recipes, A Auckland Collage, Tourist Itinerary and a gif about Auckland or New Zealand places. I found out lots of information when researching these tasks. I found them very cool and I may even try out the pavlova recipe I wrote out. Also most of the pictures in my collage I would really like to visit as I haven't visited every bit in New Zealand. Although I think that the city of sails tasks are very cool and mainly teaches me a lot about Auckland ( New Zealand ). My favourite task out of all five was the Gif I made. I really liked it because I was able to find different pieces linked to New Zealand. I also hope you can learn something from my 5 DLOs.

Steam punk / Queen Victoria (Victorian)

This week we have been learning about steam punk art and about the old Victorian times. Firstly Chavda and I has made a DLO explaining more about Queen Victoria and her past life. I have also been able to draw a picture of a steam punk owl on paper and digitally. I am very proud with the results. Although the definition about steam punk is like modern times mixed with the Victorian times.
