Hi,
1. I found out that the Maori word Aotearoa means the land of the long white cloud. I'm not really sure what that means so I looked it up and it has some different stories but the one I liked was that the people that came to New Zealand a long time ago were guided in the daytime by a long white cloud and at night time there was a long bright cloud.
2. New Zealand is part of the Pacific Rim and the active volcano is Mt Ruapehu. And I am going there in two years on a school trip.
3. New Zealanders are called Kiwis because of our native flightless bird. The Kiwi.
4. The Auckland city Sky Tower is 328 metres high and is the tallest building in the Southern Hemisphere.
See you tomorrow for more SLJ.

Kia ora Tanner!
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you. Well done on starting your summer learning journey! I am happy that you are coming on this journey with me. This is my first year being a blogger commentator and I have just completed my second year studying to become a teacher. I am looking forward to hearing all the beautiful, knowledgeable and diverse ideas that you have to offer and I am also looking forward to learning from you.
You will also notice that there are two Georgia's on this cluster so just keep a look out for 'Georgia E' which is me and the other Georgia will sign off as 'Georgia'
Well done! I really appreciate that you have put this in your own words Tanner, and the fact that you have done your own research into the word Aotearoa.
I have learnt a new fact today because of you so a BIG thank you!
Wow lucky you! Mt Ruapehu is beautiful. Did you know that even if it is a cloudy day you will still get some sun because you are so high up that you are above most of the lower clouds!
Also another fun fact: When it's a beautiful sunny day in the mountain with no clouds they call this Bluebird.
I hope you enjoy your time there in 2 years. Hopefully you will still be with the summer learning journey programme so we can hear about it :)
Keep up the awesome work Tanner. Cant wait to see more posts from you!
Cheers,
Georgia E
