DAY 5: Wasting Away Week 2 Activity 3: Faded Glory.

Three different ideas or strategies for raising funds to preserve the Great Barrier Reef. What could you do to fundraise here in New Zealand?

1. We could Rome around the street and ask people for money.
2. Run things out side of shops .
3. have some kind of games .

DAY 5: Wasting Away Week 2 Activity 2: The Black Drain

The Manawatu River is in Manawatu-Wanganui and is highly polluted. This is largely due to runoff from surrounding dairy farms, but towns on the river’s edge also contribute to this pollution with untreated sewage and industrial waste.In order to protect these species, as well as others living in the river, the Horowhenua branch has joined the Manawatu Leaders Accord, a forum which aims to promote awareness of the rivers significance; restore it to a state of health and ensure the water and surrounding land is used sustainably.

 the Ōpāwaho/Heathcote River passes through a number of suburbs in Christchurch such as Hoon Hay, Cashmere and Opawa before draining into the Avon, Heathcote estuary, ihutai in Ferrymead. 

DAY 5: Wasting Away Week 2 Activity 1: Off the Menu

Fishing is a really common activity in New Zealand. In fact, people have fished in New Zealand for centuries. Unfortunately, over the past few decades some people have caught too many fish in one area and left the region without enough fish to replenish the stocks. When this happens we call the area ‘over fished’ and it is closed to all private and commercial fishing. If people are caught fishing in these areas, they are required to pay a fine. The maximum fine for fishing in a restricted area is $100 000.

What do you think about this rule? Is it fair that people are charged up to $100 000 for over fishing? leave a comment and tell me.

I think that it is a good rule. It is a good rule because if it wasn't there than lots of people would just fish and fish and fish till there were no fish left and that means no more fish and chips.

Week 2 day 4 Activity 3: Picture Perfect

I think that in this photo the people in it are just taking a Selfie. They are tacking this Selfie to remember that they had gone to a rugby game. What rugby game? I have no idea so it's

just a rugby game. I think that it's funny that they don't know that the camera man is recording them.

1. The Devil's Toilet
2. Is it alive?*
3. Green puddle of something!?
4. A hole in the ground that smells funny

Are good names

Week 2 Day 4 Activity 1: Planes, Trains and Automobiles

Arguably, one of the most dramatic and spectacular (beautiful) places to visit in New Zealand is Milford Sound. It has been referred to as the ‘eighth wonder of the world.’ It is a beautiful fiord (steep valley) that was formed when big pieces of ice (glaciers) melted. The melted glaciers created a beautiful river that is surrounded by dramatic cliffs and snow-capped mountains. People who visit Milford Sound are able to take a boat cruise through the middle of the fiord, walk around the area on the Milford Track or fly above the fiord as part of a private helicopter tour.Let’s imagine that you had the chance to visit Milford Sound by boat, foot (walking) or air (helicopter). Which option would you prefer?

I would like to go there and have a helicopter tour mainly because I would love to go in a helicopter ride. The fiord will be interesting to go there as well.

Week 2 Day 3 Activity 3: The Midnight Zone

It is the only specimen of its kind in the entire world! This squid weighs approximately 500 kg. In 2018, a team at Te Papa decided to move the giant squid from one area of the museum to another.

Let’s imagine that the average adult can lift 25 kg and the average child can lift 15 kg. How many adults and children will it take to move the giant squid into its new room at Te Papa? [Note: There is more than one right answer to this question.]

25 x 4 = 100   100 + 75 = 175 / 175 x 2 = 350
15 x 5 75        10x 15=children 8x 25=adults
25 x 6 = 150   

350 + 150 = 500


10 adults and 5 chilren
