Setting Sail: Day 1, Activity 1 - Summer Learning Journey

My list of 10 food items I would take on an ocean voyage and the reason
why I chose these items. 

My top 10 list:

  1. CANNED BEANS:  They come in a variety of colors, shapes and sizes, and all of them are hearty sources of low-fat protein. Their soluble fiber helps normalize blood sugar levels. They also can play a key role in weight control, as they fill you up for very few calories. 
  2. NUTS: A variety of nuts (almonds, walnuts, Brazil nuts, and pecans) provides Vitamin E protein,  and healthy unsaturated fats. Their fat and fiber content makes them a great hunger-reducer, this is why I highly recommend nuts. 
  3. BLUEBERRIES: These could be enjoyed fresh for a few days, then dried for a tasty treat. They promote brain health and vision. Blueberry is also one of my all-time favorites, and blueberries are a good source of Vitamin C.
  4. ORANGES: They are a refreshing and delicious way to satisfy your sweet tooth, and they provide a wealth of nutritional goodness. They're a rich source of vitamin C. I personally think that oranges are one my go to fruit on a hot sunny day!
  5. SMOOTHIES: I know this is a bit weird but I would definitely bring smoothies. They are nutritious, hydrating, and tasty. I would never worry about dying of dehydration, and I wouldn't worry about running out of energy since smoothies have a ton of simple sugars. Plus they have vitamins and essential nutrients. I also just love smoothies of pretty much all type, but my favorite is probably a combination of banana, mango, pineapple, raspberries, and strawberries, with an almond milk base. 
     
  6. SWEET POTATOES: They are high in starch and have a bit of sugar. They are also rich in fiber and vitamins. Did you know you could also eat the the leaves and stems of the sweet potatoes as a vegetable. Sometimes when I have dinner and I have sweet potatoes on the plate, trust me! that's all I eat (and my veges)! 
  7. PIZZA: I know this is not really what someone else would put on their list, but I would! Because Pizza is one of my favorite food of course it would be one of my top 10! I don't really have a specific favorite pizza but If I was to pick one I would go with Pepperoni it's delicious!
  8. PB&JS: Peanut butter and Jelly sandwich are my favorites! It's probably not one of the main things that you would like to eat on a sea trip, but perhaps it's the most comforting of comfort foods, and it's also one of the most delicious. When they are spread on a couple of slices of hearty white bread, the joy becomes complete. 
  9. PEACHES: Yeah I know I have a weird taste! But when it come to peaches that's definitely me! But they have to be fresh and ripe, because when you bite into a fresh  ripe peach you first get the sensation of that delicate fuzz, which gives way to a glorious explosion of sweet juice across your tongue, ending with a drop that slides out between your lips and drips slowly down your chin! Yeah I want some already! 
  10. CHOCOLATE: And lastly something that surely we would take is CHOCOLATE!! In times of stress, times of sadness, times of celebration or you just need to treat yourself I would turn to chocolate to put a smile on my face!

Salt and Pepper Summer Learning Journey Week 1, Day 4, Activity 3

Salt and Pepper:

I've decided to build a hotel in South Korean, my hotel will completely be shaped like a Air New Zealand airplane. It will be a entire airplane that has been converted into a luxury suite for two guests. It has a Sauna, TV, blue-ray DVD player, wireless internet, air conditioning and everything else you can think of. The airplane can also be rented as a meeting place. It can accommodate up to 15 people. Since I couldn't draw one myself but here's an example of my idea...

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.

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.
