WEEK 2: Water, Water, Everywhere
Welcome to the second week of the Summer Learning Journey. We hope that you enjoyed learning about the amazing land habitats that we have here in New Zealand and overseas. This week we are going to focus on water; the lakes, rivers and oceans that make up our beautiful country. Are you ready to jump in and get wet? Let’s hope you brought your togs!
DAY 1: Swimming with the Fish
Activity 1: Surfs Up! [4 points]
In New Zealand we have many beautiful beaches and stunning waterfalls. One of the most spectacular waterfalls is called Kitekite and it is located in Piha, a small village west of Auckland. Tourists and locals flock to Piha during the summer season to enjoy the waterfall, the local beach, and the great surf. Have you ever tried surfing? Although I have never surfed many of my friends have and they absolutely love it. In fact, it is their favourite summer activity! What is yours?
For this activity, please take a picture of yourself doing one of your favourite summer activities. It could be anything! Here is a picture of one of our team members (Laura) doing one of her favourite summer activities.

In the summer my favourite thing to do is play with my dog Sage. He is my bestfriend and I love him so much! Sage is a Samoyed and he is all white as you can see he looks so cool like the snow. He comes from the husky family and he is a snow dog. He is very strong! Samoyeds lived in the snowy cold areas and they are strong and can pull nearly anything! Sage is turning 2 soon his birthday is January 19. We got Sage when he was just a little baby my mum says when he was 8 weeks old. I love playing with him in the backyard and taking him for walks with my family.We walk him around the block or go to the onehunga dog park.We go around the dog park cross the bridge to hillsborough and its cool as cause you can look down onto the motorway! Then we reach the other side of hillsborough where the beach area is then come back over the bridge to onehunga its like looooong as but I love it because I really love my dog hes the best!
Kia ora Jahrey,
ReplyDeleteWhat an absolutely beautiful dog Sage is. He seems so happy as it looks like he is smiling in all the photos. I would love to take him for a walk too. We often go to the Onehunga lagoon as well as my son, Nico, loves playing on the park there. We now live in Manurewa and there is a forest called Totara Park. There are plenty of dog walking areas here that I am sure Sage would love. Maybe over the summer you and your whanau could take a trip over here and check it out. They also have an awesome outside swimming pool. We took a picnic along last night and had a swim in the pool. It was beautiful.
My favourite thing to do in the summer is swim. This could be at the pools, in the sea, at the lake in Taupo, wherever there is water Nico and I are in our happy place.
Keep up the incredible work, Jahrey.
Nga mihi,
Megan :)
