Day #2: New Zealand by Land and Sea
Activity 2: As an island nation, New Zealand is completely surrounded by water. It is the perfect place for people who like to swim or to sail! While in Dargaville, recovering from your busy day of sightseeing, you notice a number sailboats going by. One of the boats is manned by a young German girl named Laura Dekker. At the age of fourteen she sailed around the world the entire world by herself. You can watch a short video clip about her adventures here: Laura Dekker sailing trip.
Let’s imagine that you had the chance to interview Laura while in Dargaville. On your blog post five questions that you would ask her.
1. If you had no boats what would you use to sail on the sea?
2. When you think something dangerous is going to happen and your in the middle of the ocean/sea, what would you do?
3. Who has been there with you helping you to sail and has inspired you to sail?
4. Have you ever been in any accidents lately?
5. When you sail around the world what is the most thing you think about?
Interview with family.
Bonus Activity: When you finish your interview with Laura, you decide to keep on interviewing people. For this activity, your task is to conduct a real interview with an actual member of your family. Please ask them to think about their five (5) favourite things to do in the out-of-doors. They can be things that they enjoy doing on land or in the water. Post the list of outdoor activities on your blog.

Kia ora Fiapo,
ReplyDeleteIt is really interesting to read that Laurence likes to do so many different things in the out-of-doors. Do you also enjoy going for picnics, walks on the beach and to the pool to swim? Aronui (my son) loves to swim so we often go to the beach or pool on the week-end. Recently, we've only been able to get to the pool because it is so cold and rainy out that we're not in a position to swim at the beach. I can't wait for summer weather to return! What about you? What do you prefer? The summer or the winter?
