Concluding the Journey!
The Finish Line!

1. What is one thing that you learned from participating in the Summer Learning Journey programme this year?

I learnt that a honey bees and bumblebees are different! A single bumblebee can do 50 times the work of a honeybee and carries a bigger payload of pollen. 

2. What is one thing that surprised you?

I never knew there was such a dolphin called the Maui dolphin! Fun Fact - Māui dolphins are the smallest of the world’s 32 dolphin species.

3. What is one thing that concerned or upset you?

I was upset when I heard that in some cities of china there is air pollution, because of this everyone has to wear a mask and it's all foggy there!

4. What is one thing that you (or your family) can do, moving forward, to help protect our natural environment?

My family and I can be everyday heroes by recycling and convincing others to recycle as well!

Adoption Day!
Save Animals!

I chose these 3 animals!

• Kangaroo!
• Meerkat!
• Arctic Hare!

Similar Things:

• They all have fur!
• The arctic hare and kangaroo have pointy ears!
• The meerkat and kangaroo are kind of the same brown colour!
• The meerkat and kangaroo can both stand on 2 legs!
• The arctic hare and meerkat dig holes!

Different Things:

• Meerkats have small ears but the other two animals have pointy ears!
• Kangaroos are very big but the meerkat and arctic hare are small!
• The arctic hare lives in the arctic but the other two animals don't like the cold!

The KING!

The animal I would like to adopt the most would be the meerkat because they are so cute, fast, and mischievous!

Restricted Access!

RULES!

I think this rule is okay because if tourists damage the area, we definitely need a change! I think there is another solution for this problem. Maybe there could be no limits of how many people come, but this could only be opened on some days!

The Plastic Pledge!
You're being a Hero!

I think this is an amazing idea! After so many people making speeches, videos, adds, and so many other things to make people understand that we need to help the environment, people are finally going to do something about this! YASSSSSSS! My dad agrees with me and says it's a good idea and that this will help save the land we live on! NATURE!

Campaigning for Conservation!
Campaigns and Slogans!

The Power of Ten!

Be a HERO and save ANIMALS!

I would love to save these ten animals / plants!

Animals:

• Elephant - These are amazing animals because they are huge and many people's favourite animals! They can survive in very hot climates!

• Panda - They are so cute but strong and dangerous creatures!

• Polar bear - they are one of the fantastic creatures that can leave in very cold temperatures!

• Tiger - Like the elephant these animals are many peoples favourites! They are very beautiful and look like a cat and many of them are dying because of people!

• Lion - An animal like the tiger! Many people love this creature and many people want to kill it for it's skin and teeth!

• Black Rhino - A very strong and large animal that people want to kill just because of it's horns, because of that they are now becoming extinct!

Plants:

• Rafflesia - A very large and red plant, with unique abilities and looks! This plant is also becoming extinct!

• Acalypha - This wonderful plant is becoming extinct and has about 450 to 462 different species!

• Saint Helena Olive - A small plant that is becoming extinct!

• Platanthera Praeclara - Endangered plant that was discovered year and years ago!
