Concluding the Journey (Summer Learning Journey)

I learnt from the Summer Learning Journey experience is that if you cannot figure something out, ask someone or use google.

I was surprised by how much fun this was and it was really cool doing all of this.

I was really concerned with how many animals are dying and why they are dying.

I think that moving forward to save the environment we can stop buying junk food and only buy things that can either be recycled of composted.

I am really sad that the Summer Learning Journey has ended and I am definitely doing it next year!

Restricted Access (Summer Learning Journey)

I Think that it is a good idea to put a restriction on the number of tourists allowed to visit Machu Picchu because if there are too many tourists around then it will be destroyed.
Though people think that it may not be fair it is very fair because people take advantage of things that they are given so if they do that privilege is taken away so this is good that they have done this.

Adoption Day (Summer Learning Journey)

Adoption Day 

1. Barn Owl
2. Snowy Owl 
3. Red Panda

The Barn owl & Snowy owl are both similar in two ways, they can both catch food in the snow and they are both owls. Red Pandas Have Fur, not feathers. Red Pandas are herbivores (They eat Plants) where as owls are Carnivours (They eat Meat). Red Pandas have a different habitat to the owls.

I would most likely adopt a Barn Owl because Barn Owls are my favourite kinds of owls and owls are my favourite animals so I would adopt a Barn Owl.

Earth Day (Summer Learning Journey)

Earth Day
Reduce, reuse, and recycle. Use less rubbish reuse things that you can make into new things (I am always making stuff out of reusable stuff).
Pay attention to how you use water.
Walk or ride your bike to work, school and anywhere you can.

Plastic Bags (Summer Learning Journey)

Plastic Bags

My mum agrees that it is a good thing that countdown have gotten rid of plastic bags but disagrees that they have replaced them with reusable plastic bags because they are still creating plastic pollution. She thinks that the next step should be that they get rid of the plastic wrapping on all food items as this is such an unnecessary use of plastic.

David Attenborough (Summer Learning Journey)

David Attenborough

I would choose to save from extinction (If they were going extinct) the.... 

White tiger: They are really cool and it would be sad if they go extinct.
Giant panda: They are very cool like the white tiger and cute so if they went extinct it would be really sad.
Blue whale: They are really cool whales and I do not want them to go extinct.
snow leopard: Because people hunt them as a sport so we need to protect them and stop this happening.
Gorilla: Gorillas are important because without them eating the plants in the forests the ecosystem would become unbalanced and the vegetation will grow too much and it will so become dangerous for all animals and humans.
Whooping crane: There were first only 15 in North America in 1941 but in 2011 there were a rough 279 which is when you think of it is a huge increase but even after this huge success the Whooping Cranes are now decreasing in numbers because of climate change and human activities.
Sea otter: in 1977 the Sea Otters were all in a great number of quantity but by 2018 they were badly decreasing, the Sea Otters have started decreasing badly over the 34 years from 1977 to 2018 but the weir thing is that with all of these otters around why are they not growing in quantity's.
Asian elephant: Elephants are very important as when they poo they leave seeds in their dung which acts as a fertilizer for the plants.
Orangutan: Orangutan's are in danger because people are destroying the habitats that they live in and they are in danger of extinction because of this.
Tasmanian Devil: They are in danger of going extinct because of getting run over on the roads and getting attacked by dogs which is not good because they are the worlds largest living Marsupial.
