Day 2 Activity 1, 2 & Bonus Activity

Day #2: New Zealand by Land and Sea

After a short ride through Auckland it is time to start exploring the rest of the country. Today you are going to venture around the north island of New Zealand to look at active volcanoes, gorgeous beaches, windswept coastline and lush, green bush. As a group, you will start at Rangitoto, the largest volcano in New Zealand before driving west to Karekare, a stunning beach on the outskirts of Auckland. You will finish the day by driving north to visit Tane Mahuta, the oldest living kauri tree in New Zealand.

Activity 1: After a very busy day of sightseeing you and your group drive from Tane Mahuta to your hotel in Dargaville. When you arrive you decide to sit down and record your thoughts in your travel diary.

Before you start writing, take a minute to read more about Rangitoto island, Karekare beach and Tane Mahuta.  On your blog, tell us which of the three places you most enjoyed visiting and why.  

The place I enjoyed


1.I enjoyed KareKare beach because you can swim there and do all kind of things. You can also draw on the sand and make letter's and whatever you want.


Activity 2: As an island nation, New Zealand is completely surrounded by water. It is the perfect place for people who like to swim or to sail! While in Dargaville, recovering from your busy day of sightseeing, you notice a number sailboats going by. One of the boats is manned by a young German girl named Laura Dekker. At the age of fourteen she sailed around the world the entire world by herself. You can watch a short video clip about her adventures here: Laura Dekker sailing trip.   
Let’s imagine that you had the chance to interview Laura while in Dargaville. On your blog post five questions that you would ask her.

Questions I would ask Laura Dekker

  1. How many Islands have you been to.
  2. What did you feel about racing.
  3. What were you thinking when you first travelled.
  4. What did you want to do for a living.
  5. When did you start sailing.
Bonus Activity: When you finish your interview with Laura, you decide to keep on interviewing people. For this activity, your task is to conduct a real interview with an actual member of your family. Please ask them to think about their five (5) favourite things to do in the out-of-doors. They can be things that they enjoy doing on land or in the water. Post the list of outdoor activities on your blog.
Interview with my Cousin:
1. Going to the beach with the family.
2. Going for walks.
3. Going up the Mountain.
4. Going out of the country.

5. Camping at different sites.

Day 1 Activity One, Two and Bonus Activity

Day 1: 100% PURE New Zealand  

                                
Well, the time has now come! School’s out for the holidays and your tour of New Zealand is about to begin. I hope that you are ready and excited! Curious Kiwi certainly is – he can’t wait to start the Great Kiwi Road Trip! Before you all hit the road, let’s take a minute to review some key facts about New Zealand.3.jpg
Activity 1:  Go to the Tourism New Zealand website and click on the ‘Facts - New Zealand People’ tab. Read about the people of New Zealand and then choose three interesting facts to post on your blog. The facts must be written in your own words. Do not simply copy and paste the facts from the website☺.

My three interesting facts

  1. Rugby is the most popular sport in New Zealand.
  2. Bungy Jumping might be one of our famous kiwi inventions.
  3. Edmund Hillary was the first person to climb the highest Mountain In the world. He Is a kiwi.



Activity 2: Your tour of New Zealand is going to start right here in Auckland. Watch the Tourist video for Auckland to learn about the awesome things that you can see and do in the city. Once you’ve finished, choose your favourite five activities from the video and list them on your blog.  

My five favourite activity's

1. Sky Tower -
It is tall and thin at the top and thick at the bottom.

2. Kelly Tarlton's -
You can see all the different kind of sea animals.

3.  Auckland Museum -
A museum where you get to see animals from the past.

4. A Ferry -
You can go on a ferry. It can take you places.

5. Beach -
Some where when you can go in the summer. You can go surfing in the summer as well.

Bonus Activity: Now it’s time to start your tour! Curious Kiwi decides to start by taking you on a short tour through downtown Auckland. You stop at the Sky Tower, the tallest building in all of New Zealand. When you look up, you see a huge New Zealand flag on the top of the tower. This flag was created back in 1902. That makes the New Zealand flag 115 years old!

My flag

White represents the cloud, green represents our trees, blue represents the sky, black and red both represent  New Zealand.    I chose these colours because it represents our land and country.
