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:

#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:
