PBS Blogging Journey - Day 5, Bonus Activity

This was the last activity for the Blogging Journey. I have enjoyed it so much. It has helped me learn lot's of new things, and I can't wait for the Summer Learning Journey. For this activity, we had to make a Venn diagram comparing the Auckland to the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

Winter Learning Journey: Day 5 - Bonus Activity

Bonus Activity: You and your tour group have enjoyed your day in the mountains but you’re ready for a change of scenery. You ask Curious Kiwi to take you to Central Otago, a region of the south island with lots of rolling hills and flat, brown grasslands. While in Central Otago, you decide to join the Otago Central Rail Trail – a 150 km long cycle trail. Curious Kiwi and I (Rachel) cycled the Rail Trail in April and we loved it!

On your blog, tell us whether you would like to cycle the Otago Rail Trail one day. Does it sound like fun? Why or why not?

I think I would cycle the Otago Rail Trail because it would be fun and it would be a great opportunity for me to get some exercise and get fit.

Winter Learning Journey: Day 5 - Activity 2

Activity 2: After the adventure at The Lewis Pass Scenic Reserve, you are pretty happy to get back into the shuttle van and continue with your road trip. Over the next few hours you travel up and over the Southern Alps, arriving in the city of Christchurch to eat lunch. You have a delicious meal at a café downtown and then hop back into the van to travel to Twizel, a small town at the base of Aoraki-Mt Cook. Mt Cook is the largest mountain in New Zealand. It is also the mountain where Sir Edmund Hillary trained for his climb up Mt Everest – the tallest mountain in the world. Sir Edmund Hillary is very famous because he was the first person to ever reach the top of Mt Everest!

Now it is your turn to learn about a famous New Zealander. Use Google to research one famous person from New Zealand and then create a DLO and post it on your blog. Be sure to include: 1. The name of the famous person, 2. Where they were born, 3. Why they are famous, and 4. Two other interesting facts about them.

I chose to research Russell Crowe. He has starred in many films such as Man Of Steel, Gladiator and ect.

Winter Learning Journey: Day 5 - Activity 1

Activity 1: After a few hours in the car, you, your group and Curious Kiwi arrive at your first stop – The Lewis Pass Scenic Reserve. It is a beautiful, regional park located at the base of the Southern Alps. You and your group get out of the van and follow Curious Kiwi. He is going to lead you on a short walk through the park. As you start walking, you notice a really cool looking tree on the side of the trail and you stop to take a closer look. When you turn back, the group (and Curious Kiwi) is nowhere to be found. Eek! You are all alone in the middle of a strange forest.

For this activity write a short story (8-10 sentences) about what might happen next. Please be sure to include lots of details about what you might be feeling, seeing and doing after you realise that you are all alone in the forest...

It was a very nice day, my scout group and I were walking through the forest. I saw a Kea and went to check it out and then suddenly there was no one around me. I was LOST. I screamed for help but no one answered. I went looking around, my throat was dry and I needed water. But the heat was making it harder for me. Then instantly I faint and knock my head against a tree. I was out for hours then I hear someone say my name. First I thought I was hearing things but it got closer and closer. Then I saw my father. I was so happy to see him.
