Towering Timbers! Week1, Day 5, Activity 1

Logging shouldn't be allowed!!

I think logging should be stopped because loggers hurt millions of animals and destroy the environment. This is bad news and without trees we might not be able to survive. I hate logging because animals are losing their homes and dying. The Earth should remain a healthy green planet and plants help survive. Trees help us survive because they give us oxygen (air), and we all need air to survive. 

Logging will destroy our planet!

Did you know logging cause's global warming? Did you know that millions of animals die from logging everyday? Did you know that there are other ways to make pencils and paper? Did you know that logging has caused millions of humans deaths? Stop logging now, after time we will have no wood left and be forced to look for other ways of pencils and paper and such.

Here is the link to the website where I found the image above of logging in NZ.. Hope you liked it! Image Link

It can accommodate up to 15 people. Since I couldn't draw one myself but here's an example of my idea...

SLJ, The WWF: World Wildlife Fund.. Week 1, Day 3, Activity 3

The WWF: World Wildlife Fund

1. World Wildlife Fund (WWF) are trying to save Saimaa ringed Seals.
2. The Seals give Birth in a lair it digs into a snow bank. If there aren't any snowbanks the pups are born on open ice and don't have any protection against predators, cold and human disturbance. So  the WWF are building snow banks for the seals. 
3. WWF member from all around the world are all joining to help save the Saimaa ringed Seals by that they also have a plan that we need to take quick action on climate change. 
4. TRUE FACT: Saimaa ringed seals need snow to build the lairs in which they give birth. But over the past several years, the snow cover in the region has not been deep enough to create those lairs.

Summer Learning Journey, Week 1, Day 3, Activity 1: Fantastic Beast

Fantastic Beast: Centaur

It was very hard thinking of one, so I decided to recover or go over one of my favorite creatures that already exists. Centaurs are a well known race of mythology creatures who had the upper body of a man and the lower body of a horse. Below is a example of a Centaur (I didn't create or draw it)

Look like:
The head, the arms and the torso of the Centaurs had the human shape and their lower part was that of a horse. Their diet was adjusted according to their physical shape
Smell like:
Some of them would often be drunk an they also like to drink wine,so  they would smell like wine.
Feels  like:
feels like you are a real human doing the same as a normal person but at the same time feels weird because  you don't have a full body like a human and sometimes it's very hard to do some things with the shape body.

Summer Learning Journey, Week 1, Day 2, Activity 3: Weird and Wonderful.

Weird and Wonderful:

Let’s imagine that you are given a cactus for your birthday. To keep it alive, you must give it 3 ml of water every day.

Over one full year, how much water will you need to give your cactus plant?

This one took me a while or it made me think hard until I had the idea of thinking about how many days in a year and multiply it by 3 millilitres. And the answer I got was

1095 mL.

Final Answer = 1095 ml.

Giants among us: Tane Mahuta

Tane Mahuta, God of the Forest, is estimated to be 2,000 years old. He is 51.5 meters high, has a girth of 13.8 meters. He rises nearly 10 meters before there is any tapering in his trunk. He is the largest, best-known and most popular kauri. Overall I would love to be one of those people who get to go a visit the Tane Mahuta and make some good memories. Below is a T-Chart of why we should visit the God of the Forest and why we shouldn't.
