Mitchell - WLJ - Day #2 - NZ by Land and Sea

Hey bloggers! Today is Day #2 of the Winter Learning Journey! I'm really excited. Let's start!

 Activity 1 : Travel Diary

 After travelling throughout Auckland, I have been asked to read about either Rangitoto Island, Tane Mahuta, and KereKere. I have chosen to write about Tane Mahuta.

I really enjoyed Tane Mahuta! I loved the luscious green and the Kauri trees along the way. I also loved seeing the birds and hearing the native birds making sounds. It was awesome! It took 5 minutes to walk on the tramp. Fun fact: Did you know? that in 1928 Nicholas Yakas and other bush walkers discovered the tree Tane Mahuta.

Activity 2 : Questions for Laura Dekker

I have been asked to imagine I met Laura Dekker and would have to provide some questions for me to ask. I have also watched the video and it was pretty amazing she is the youngest sailor in the world. Here are my questions I would ask her:

#1 - What does it feel like being the youngest sailor?
#2 - When did you start solo-sailing?
#3 - Is sailing difficult without anyone helping you?
#4 - Do you get tired as you are sailing?
#5 - Do you have any advice for kids who would love to sail around the world?

Bonus : Family Interview

After interviewing Laura Dekker I have been asked to interview one of my family members! I have to ask them what is what is their 5 favourite things to do outdoors. I have decided to interview my mum. Here are her responses:

#1 - Camping
#2 - Skiing

#4 - Going for walks
#5 - Swimming at the beach

There you go!

    Hi Mitchell!

    I was recently blogging with your sister, Levonah, and I was impressed to see that you had posted a positive and supportive comment on her blog. Thanks for that! It is great to see family members stepping us and actively encouraging one another. Awesome.

    I also wanted to compliment you, once again, on the quality of your blog posts. They are always such a joy to read. In this post, I particularly enjoyed reading the extra 'fun fact' that you provided about Tane Mahuta. I had no idea that it was first discovered almost 100 years ago by Nicholas Yakas. I wonder what Nicholas was doing that involved walking through the northland bush...

    Keep on setting such a high standard, Mitchell. It really gives all of us something to work towards and aspire to.

    Best,
    Rachel :)
