Activity 1 : Hiking Tongariro
In 1990, one of the largest national parks in New Zealand, Tongariro, was listed as a World Heritage Site. It is a truly spectacular place to visit! Thousands of people go to Tongariro every year and hike the Tongariro Crossing. Visit the Tongariro website to learn more about the one-day hike.

Activity 2 : Leading New Zealand
In the 1990s, four different individuals served as the Prime Minister of New Zealand – Geoffrey Palmer, Mike Moore, Jim Bolger and Jenny Shipley.
I have been asked to create a short profile for one of our former prime ministers. I have to include a picture and some information all ready provided. Here's mine:
Bonus Activity : You Have to Pay to Play
In 1990, for the first time in New Zealand’s history, universities and polytechnics started charging students money to go to school. Prior to then, it had been free to go to university or to a polytechnic. Since 1990, students have had to pay thousands of dollars to attend post-secondary (after high school) education.

The new Labour government have promised to give up to three years of free post-secondary education to all New Zealanders by 2020!
I have been asked to tell you about what I think about this. I think this is a good choice but they should put the prices lower. People also have to also pay for rent, bills, taxes. I don't think this is fair.
Thanks for Reading!

Hey again Mitchell, I've enjoyed reading your list of items to take on the Tongariro Crossing. You've decided to bring really sensible and useful items. Well done!
ReplyDeleteI like that you've written a few examples of the snacks you would bring. I would bring muesli bars, sandwiches, and fruit and nuts.
What do you think you would eat for breakfast in the morning before you go? You'll need to have a big breakfast that is going to provide you with lots of energy for a long period of time.
Thanks, Billy
Hey Billy, nice to you again!
DeleteYes, especially on hot day I would need a good snack and some refreshing water. Also I wouldn't a energy bar for extra energy.
For breakfast maybe I would have weet - bix some fruit and yoghurt. Or a big smoothie full of fruits!
Thanks again Billy!
