For this Summer Learning Journey Activity, I watched a tutorial on how to draw a spider web. This activity really intrigued me because if you didn’t do the right steps I’ll turn out wonky, so I followed the steps in order to make my web. I firstly grabbed a paper and pencil to sketch it out. After I finished I took a photo and put it on my blog, explaining what I did. I enjoyed this task because I got to learn about the art of web.
LI: To understand what Kauri dieback is and how it spreads
Our challenge today was to use the links provided and our own smart searching skills to find out what Kauri dieback is and what we need to do to try and prevent this from spreading. We need to know about this so that we do our part to keep our Kauri safe when we go on hike at camp. I worked with Amorangi and we found it interesting that a Kauri is the largest forest tree but found only in the Northern North Island, it has a large trunk and small, leathery leaves, kauri resin, soot from burnt kauri gum used for tattooing. A tall white timber tree of New Zealand having white straight grained wood. It’s the largest forest tree in Aotearoa New Zealand.
LI: To understand the story behind our flag
Our challenge today was to create a collaborative presentation that reflects the story behind our NZ flag. We did this by looking at how our flag has changed over time. Something I found interesting was the British flag that is on the NZ flag represents the Union Jacks. The blue color represents the blue sea and the sky’s surroundings, The diamond shaped postition that the stars are forming represents the Southern cross signify our place in the South Pacific Ocean. The Sourthern cross is one of the striking features of the Sourthern sky.
