A Heated Debate ( Summer Learning Journey)

On your blog, tell us what time of year you think is best for tourists to come and visit. Be sure to share at least three things that tourists could do while they were here in NZ.

I think the best time of year to come to New Zealand is in the summertime.

It can get up to 25 degrees Celsius. One of the best places to go in the summertime

is Nelson. There is a big park for kids to play on and there is always a ice cream near

the park. There is one of the nicest beaches. There is lots of sand and there is sometimes stone there.
One of the things I think to do is go to the Nature land Zoo. Another thing you could do is in Reefton
there is a countdown for a new year and lots of people go to it. In Reefton there is also there is a skate-park that is really cool. There is also a swimming pool that is heated with cool inflatables.

The WWF: World Wildlife Fund

The WWF (World Wildlife Fund) are trying their best to save Freshwater Seals. To help save the Seals the WWF are building snow banks for the seals so that when the pup is born the snow banks can give the pup protection from predators, the cold and human disturbance. If pups are born in the open up to half of them could die.

The Secretive Skink

Pros and Cons about being a D.O.C worker.

Pros (good things)
1. You would get to help and save animals.
2.  You would get to be around animals a lot.
3.  You would get to learn about animals.

Cons (bad things)
1. Sometimes you would have to shoot animals.
2. You would have to be away from your family.
3. You would see animals dead.

I would like to be a Doc Ranger because you would get to
spend a lot of time with animals.

The ROYGBIV is an extreme rare species of Unicorn.                                                                                             ROYGBIV have a magical horn, at night their horn glows rainbow and in the day their horn is black.
