PBS Blogging Journey - Day 2, Activity 2

For the second activity of day two was, to create a new mascot that would do Scotty's job while he was on holiday. My Mascot's name was Bobby. I found making the shapes hard because I am not really good at making pictures on a google drawing. Other than that I think I did a good job.

Bonus Activity: When you finish your interview with Laura, you decide to keep on interviewing people. For this activity, your task is to conduct a real interview with an actual member of your family.

Post the list of outdoor activities on your blog.

I chose to interview my sister Mahdiya.

2. Play Football.

3. Play with friends.

4. Play on the playground.

5. Play on the trampoline.

Winter Learning Journey: Day 2 - Activity 2

Activity 2: As an island nation, New Zealand is completely surrounded by water. It is the perfect place for people who like to swim or to sail! While in Dargaville, recovering from your busy day of sightseeing, you notice a number sailboats going by. One of the boats is manned by a young German girl named Laura Dekker. At the age of fourteen she sailed around the world the entire world by herself. You can watch a short video clip about her adventures here: Laura Dekker sailing trip.   

Let’s imagine that you had the chance to interview Laura while in Dargaville. On your blog post five questions that you would ask her.

1. What got you into sailing?

2. What will you do when you retire?

3. Do you ever feel home sick when your off at another country?

4. Have you had any serious injuries during your sailing career?

5. Is there anybody else apart from you who sails in your family?

Winter Learning Journey: Day 2 - Activity 1

Activity 1: After a very busy day of sightseeing you and your group drive from Tane Mahuta to your hotel in Dargaville. When you arrive you decide to sit down and record your thoughts in your travel diary.

Before you start writing, take a minute to read more about Rangitoto island, Karekare beach and Tane Mahuta.  On your blog, tell us which of the three places you most enjoyed visiting and why.  

I chose rangitoto island as my favorite place because it has plenty of activites for me to do, such as snorkeling, fishing kayaking and more. The best thing about it is the amazing view.
