WK2 D2 A1 - 'Fabulous Flora'

Fabulous Flora

Flax Weaving

If I had the chance, I would try flax weaving. It doesn't look easy, but it still sounds interesting, so its worth a try. And with a bit of practice I might be able to make a few things. I think they look really cool in the end, despite how long it would take to do it. I just need to be in the right mood for doing it most of the time, but now I definitely would do it. Plus, its nice trying something that you haven't tried before, so it'd definitely be a nice challenge for me. I hope you have a great day!

  2. Sharks are the only fish that has eyelids: TRUE
  3. Starfish are a type of fish: FALSE
  4. Fish communicate with each other by making low-pitched sounds: TRUE
  5. Fish usually swim in groups called classes: TRUE
Have a great day!

WK2 D1 A2 - 'The Great Taupo Cycle Challenge'

The Great Taupo Cycle Challenge

My Support Crew

If I was able to compete in The Great Taupo Cycle Challenge, the three people I would bring for my support crew would be:

  1. My Mum, she would  probably record me cycling, as well as taking photos. I would be able to look back at the time I went there by going through the photos. That way I won't forget the time.
  2. I would bring my friend Samantha, she would encourage me and cheer me on as I go. She would be very supportive.
  3. Lastly, I would bring my sister, because I know she wouldn't want to come. She would put a bit of pressure on me, which is totally fine, and get me hyped for cycling.

NZ in 2018

It just happens to be 2019, oops, so it's the (latest) perfect time to describe NZ. Here is the description I wrote:

NZ is an interesting country. There are lovely waterfalls and mountains, along with tall trees. The NZ Native Forests look amazing, with plants like ferns. There are birds like Fantails, Pukeko, and Kiwis too. There are amazing beaches there, like Hot Water Beach. At low tide there are a few shellfish around for you to grab, unless a sign says not to. You can eat Fish & Chips, since there is usually a place to buy some nearby. Theres also a place in NZ that has the longest name in the world. I enjoy living in NZ, I would be very sad if it just so happened to sink to the bottom of the ocean in the next week.

Here is picture of one of the NZ Native forests:

WK1 D5 A2 - 'Living On The Edge'

Living On The Edge

A Letter From The Tundra

Dear Mum,
I would like to start off by saying that there are no trees in the Tundra, but its a very dry piece of land. It's a bit cold here too, so I had to make sure I was wearing something warm. We have eaten and explored this strange place. Continuing, we are lucky that the weather has changed through the years. I think that the Tundra has been pretty interesting so far. I would love to go to the Tundra again. I wish I had taken a camera so I could take pictures of this interesting piece of land. I hope to go here again someday.

WK1 D5 A1 - 'Towering Timbers'

Towering Timbers

Logging

So, loggers. People who cut down trees so they can use the wood for things.
First off, why would you ruin a forest?! I know it's for houses and that, but I think if you are going to chop down a bunch a trees in a beautiful NZ forest, then go watch the Lorax..! (Pretty good movie.)
Second, THE ANIMALS! THE POOR ANIMALS!

Reasons to support my argument:
  1. Have you seen the native NZ Forests? I think many people would love to see them and let the trees grow more and more. It's not that fair to cut it down, and I know houses are important, but I mean, let it grow.
  2. Going back to THE POOR ANIMALS. So the animals that live in trees, like birds, will be kicked out of their homes so we can have our homes.
  3. The environment. I think the loggers are damaging our environment.
Need I say more?

Anyways, have a nice day. Enjoy your New Year, eat waffles, and relax in a hotel room.

WK1 D4 A3 - 'Salt and Pepper'

This is my hotel. I would build it in Paris, maybe a bit close to the Eiffel Tower because the tourists would be staying at my hotel, and they would get to get a photo by the Eiffel Tower, too. This is one of the rooms:
