LI: To choose a journey in New Zealand that you would like to travel.
The above google maps is the eighth task for this week of the Summer Learning Journey that I have completed today. For this Kick Start activity I started by watching the introduction video that explained the challenge, which was to plan a trip around New Zealand and either choose Journey A or Journey B which were provided on a google documents, and create a map which has the pins on locations from the journeys. The reason I chose Journey A was because I have visited very were few places amongst them and it would be more fun to travel unvisited places.
The places that I have covered on the map are: Cape Reinga, Geyser, Beehive, Sky Tower, L&P bottle, Pania of Reef, Baldwin Street, Avon, Punakaiki, Botanic Gardens, Mount Taranaki, Routeburn, Mount Ruapehu, Whales Kaikoura, Oamaru Penguin, Tāne Mahuta, Opononian, Kiwi fruit Te Puke and Hobbitons. In the map, I made sure to add pins with different colors so it could be easily classified, a picture of the place so the readers can get an idea of what I am talking about and a small information paragraph that gives a summary on the place. I loved completing this activity as this was very knowledgeable for me and at the same time I came to know places I would love to visit within the country. I am looking forward to do the second part of this task as well.

ReplyDeleteThank you for re-uploading your map of your NZ trip! You have picked lots of amazing places for your journey, and I hope to visit them all one day!
I thought it was a clever idea to use lots of different colours for your pins and I’m so happy you’ve placed them all over the North and South Islands! As I mentioned before, I have been to a few of these locations, including Mount Ruapehu, Tāne Mahuta, and both the kiwifruit and the L&P bottle! They are all so captivating and I highly recommend visiting them one day!
One place that stood out to me on your map that I haven’t visited yet was the dolphin statue of Opononi - I had never heard of it before! Thank you for teaching me something new about New Zealand!
If you had to visit one of these locations first, which one would you choose? I am hoping to visit Baldwin Street this year, as my brother lives close by in Dunedin and it would be so interesting to see the steepest street in the world!
You have done such an outstanding job, especially with adding descriptions about each location! I am going to award you bonus points for this activity too. It has been so much fun to read your blog posts this summer, and I am so impressed by all of the care you’ve put into your work!
Keep it up, and have a great rest of your summer!
