Day 2 Fabulous flora
Activity 1. Weaving a tall tale
I am very interested in harakeke / flax weaving at school we have done little flowers. I am interested in doing something much bigger maybe a hat or a bag. They have classes at our local marae to teach you how to weave. I was gifted a lovely hat from my cousin Amiria her nana from Te kaha made it she is very good at weaving. The hat started off very dark and slowly has become lighter.

Day 5 Blink and youll miss it
Activity 1 Towering timbers
I do not think logging is good I dont support it. We hurt alot of our native animals and take away there habitat it also wreaks the land underneath. We need trees for oxygen and to absorb greenhouse gas. We need to protect the forest for the animals and people.
Activity 2 Living on the edge
Kia Ora cousin Eva-May
I have reached the Tundra with my teacher and classmates. It is summer here the tundra only has a short summer, there are no trees here and only small plants on the ground. We are having a goodtime polar bears are here having babies!! Im hoping to see a lemming. One day i hope we can both visit.
I will see you when i get back.
Love Cousin Lolly
Activity 3 Going going gone
Welcome to the New Zealand in 2018. We have lots of roads and shops and schools and cars. We have lots of green mountains and forests we get our food from farms and fish from our seas. We enjoy going to the beach and fishing. Ther a place in new zealand called rotorua that has lots of activitys like zip lining and the luge its on a mountain it smells funny. We also have a big big tree named tane mahuta which is surrounded by forrest. We also have a tall tower called sky tower and you can see all of auckland. I love living here.
