Day 3 Summer Learning Journey

Activity 1:Fantastic Beasts.
In New Zealand we have many unusual animals. One of the most unusual is the kiwi bird - a bird that does not have wings and can not fly. Pretty strange, eh?! J.K. Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter books, has recently written a new book about strange or unusual animals called ‘Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.’
For this activity, please watch this cool book trailer. Year 7 and Year 8 students in South Auckland, New Zealand helped to make it. Once you have watched the video, use your imagination and create your very own beast. What does your beast look, smell, feel, and sound like?
On your blog, post a description of your beast. Use interesting adjectives (describing words) to tell us about your beast.

Mine looks like a small hair tarantula with and medium scorpion tail whats not poisons.

Its very smooth but with prickly hairs that can penetrate your skin.

You cant smell it because it you extremely don't cause its prickly hairs fall of and they will go into your nose.

When it walks it makes a small noise that keep predators from attacking but its so silent to prey so it could pounce on it.

Activity 2:The Secretive Skink.

We have a number of small lizards (geckos and skinks) living in New Zealand. One of the least common is the Chevron Skink. According to the Department of Conservation, Chevron Skinks live mostly on two islands - Great Barrier Island and Little Barrier Island. These islands are ‘animal reserves.’ Very few people, other than staff working for the New Zealand Department of Conservation (DOC), are allowed to live there. The DOC staff are called ‘Rangers.’ Their job is to protect the wildlife (animals and plants) living on the island.
Would you like to be a DOC ranger and live with the animals on Great Barrier Island?
On your blog list three pros (good things) and three cons (bad things) about working as a DOC ranger. At the bottom of your post, tell us whether you would like to be a DOC Ranger or not

I don't because I want to see my family and I want to be with friends plus, if I was I probable won't like the food and I don't want to b stuck in one place all the time.

Activity 3:The WWF:World Wildlife Fund.

In 1961, a number of people came together to start an organisation called the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). The main goal of this organisation was/is to protect life on earth. Hundreds of WWF staff work in countries all over the world trying to protect our planet and the animals who live here. To learn more about their amazing work, click on one of the two video links below.

Clip #1: Freshwater Seals
Clip #2: Tigers
Once you have watched the video, go to your blog and, using full sentences, tell us:
1) The name of the animal the WWF is working to save.
2) What the WWF is doing to help the animal.
3) What, if any, success they have had protecting the animal.

They are trying to stop the population go down for tigers and freshwater seals. The way they are helping the seals are by making snow banks, and the way they helping tigers are stop them from getting shot and their skin a bones being sold at the black market. They have do quiet a lot of success of saving animals.
