Activity 1: After a few hours in the car, you, your group and Curious Kiwi arrive at your first stop – The Lewis Pass Scenic Reserve. It is a beautiful, regional park located at the base of the Southern Alps. You and your group get out of the van and follow Curious Kiwi. He is going to lead you on a short walk through the park. As you start walking, you notice a really cool looking tree on the side of the trail and you stop to take a closer look. When you turn back, the group (and Curious Kiwi) is nowhere to be found. Eek! You are all alone in the middle of a strange forest.
For this activity write a short story (8-10 sentences) about what might happen next. Please be sure to include lots of details about what you might be feeling, seeing and doing after you realise that you are all alone in the forest...
One dark day in a strange forest I was alone and scared. I was walking towards a bush and I heard a sound and I was horrified and it was a Fox I ran as fast as I could and I got away. When it was night I made a tent out of branches and then I went to sleep. When I woke up I had a walk and animals that I haven't seen before I went and the animals surrounded me and I was scared but the animals were friendly. I went with the animals and we went to a cave and I went to sleep with them. when I got up I went to a tall tree and waited there for a few minutes and a wolf jumped out of no where and growled at me.After that I went to cut tree's so I could make fire at night it was so warm then I went to sleep and the next day I was cool because I looked around and it was like I was on a rainbow but this wasn't real because that was a dream. I was walking and I thought I was going to be lost forever but then people found me and I was so happy.
Activity 2: After the adventure at The Lewis Pass Scenic Reserve, you are pretty happy to get back into the shuttle van and continue with your road trip. Over the next few hours you travel up and over the Southern Alps, arriving in the city of Christchurch to eat lunch. You have a delicious meal at a café downtown and then hop back into the van to travel to Twizel, a small town at the base of Aoraki-Mt Cook. Mt Cook is the largest mountain in New Zealand. It is also the mountain where Sir Edmund Hillary trained for his climb up Mt Everest – the tallest mountain in the world. Sir Edmund Hillary is very famous because he was the first person to ever reach the top of Mt Everest!
Now it is your turn to learn about a famous New Zealander. Use Google to research one famous person from New Zealand and then create a DLO (Digital Learning Object) and post it on your blog. Be sure to include: 1. The name of the famous person, 2. Where they were born, 3. Why they are famous, and 4. Two other interesting facts about them.
