SUMMER LEARNING JOURNEY
- BY: Isla
TOPIC:
" Awesome animals ".
Hi viewers! Today , just like every day I have to complete three tasks. I was super excited for Today because I absolutely love animals. Who doesn't? My learning goal for Today is to try make my posts as creative as I can.
TASK ONE:
My first task was to watch the Fantastic beasts and where to find them book trailer. I was set to create after watching it to create my own fantastic beast. I created this on a google slide so then you can full screen it to see the words a lot easier.
TASK TWO:
My second task today was to list three good things about being a DOC Ranger and three bad things about it.
FACT: Did you know that the Chevron skink is least common to find in New Zealand but can only be found in great barrier Island and little barrier Island?
3 GOOD REASONS ABOUT BEING A DOC RANGER:
- If you are a DOC Ranger you are the only ones allowed on that Island.
- You can help look after animals.
- You are allowed to live on the Island.
- It isn't fair that nobody else is allowed on the Island.
- There could be dangers.
- You might miss your family if you lived on the Island.
TASK THREE:
My last activity for today was to describe in full sentences what the WWF is doing to help animals world wide. Their were two different animals I could choose from. Tigers or Freshwater seals I personally like cats so I decided to choose Tigers. I also found this really cool picture of three tigers bathing in mud.
1. The WWF is working to help save tigers.
2. The WWF is tracking down Tigers and counting how many there are to help save them so they know how many there are left in the world.
2. If in any success the WWF has a very large possibility of helping save Tigers lives.
Mōrena Isla,
ReplyDeleteWell done on keeping up with the activities set up for each day. I am impressed with the way that you have put in lots of time and effort in creating these posts. As a reader, it is always exciting to visit your blog to read what you have to say about certain environmental topics.
For activity 1, you will need to change the view setting again to 'anyone with a link can view' so that I can access it. Please make sure to check your setting before posting external slides or links to something that you have created.
Being a DOC ranger sounds pretty exciting and I enjoyed reading your list of pros and cons. The Rangers need to be safety conscious at all times and they need to be SUPER dedicated and motivated to be able to work in difficult conditions! As you have mentioned, living on an island apart from your family is an important factor you need to consider before choosing to proceed with this career. I know that there are lots of jobs that protect, enhance and maintain conservation areas just like the DOC rangers within New Zealand. Would you take the job if you are able to work near your house? What is your favourite animal?
Well done on summarising the information that was given in the video clip about the work WWF do. I can see that you personally like cats - do you have a pet cat at your house?
I love that the video ended with the faces of many WWF staff member's - it simply shows us how we can all work together to save endangered animals despite our differences. We all come from different countries and have different beliefs but when we work together to make a difference, nothing is impossible!
Let me know once you have changed the view setting for your Activity 1 Isla. Looking forward to reading about your fantastic beast.
Talk soon,
Susie
Also, it's great to see you using images to illustrate your blog posts. Every time that we use an image on our blog, it's really important that we tell our readers where we found it, and give credit to the owner of the picture.
ReplyDeleteTo properly credit a picture you will need to include a link to the site where you found the image. We have created a guide that you might find helpful. You can check it out here:

You will need to follow these instructions to earn full points for any Summer Learning Journey activity that has asked you to post an image :)
Thanks Susie for your comments. They were very helpful. I will try change the view setting on it so you can access it. I have a pet cat at my house and his name is Smokey. My favourite animal would probably have to be a cat because they are really cute. I hope you enjoy your holidays.

Morning Isla,
DeleteThank you for your reply - I wish you have a wonderful holiday as well. What do you like to do during summer? I love to swim in the beach and enjoy the sounds of the waves crashing the rocks. I also love going on hikes!
Please let me know in the comments section once you have changed the view setting :)
