SUMMER LEARNING JOURNEY: Like A Scene Out of A Movie ⚡

Welcome to 2019! I'm already feeling amazing as the year begins, and I hope you are too! I spent New Year's in Caroline Bay (Timaru) with family and friends, what did you do for New Year's? 

Activity 1: The Southern Lights [4 points]


Once in a while a very special event takes place in New Zealand. It is a show of beautiful, bright lights that appear in the sky over the South Island. The lights are called the ‘Aurora Australis’ or ‘Southern Lights.’ They are similar to the ‘Northern Lights’ that are often seen in places like Northern Canada, Iceland, Sweden, Finland and Denmark. The southern and northern lights are so stunning that they often leave people, who are watching them, speechless. 

MY NOTE: I'm really interested in the Northern Lights, but it was the sound of it that got me hooked. These are the unique, mysterious sounds of the Northern Lights. I have to admit, they're pretty freaky!

For this activity, you are to write a short acrostic word poem about the beautiful lights.

Activity 3: Crazy, Cool Clouds [5 points]

Have you ever looked up into the sky and seen a cloud that had a really cool shape? I certainly have, and so have dozens of other people. Take a look at the three pictures of crazy, cool cloud formations below.

Clouds are formed when small drops of water stick together. To learn more about clouds and how they are formed, you can watch this cool video. Once you have learned about clouds, please choose your favourite cloud picture.

On your blog, tell us what you see in the photo. What shape(s) do you see? Be sure to tell us which picture (1, 2 or 3) you have chosen and describe what you see in lots of detail!.

I chose Picture 1 (the rabbit) for this :) 


Fur looking as fluffy as ever, ears perked and tall as if it has just spotted a carrot... the rabbit is perched with her paws at her chest. The white cloud contrasts against the dark blue sky like black spots on a white rabbit. It's as if the sky is swallowing the bunny into heaven as it fades away into nothing but white swirls of nothingness. The dense cloud is shaped perfectly like a bunny, with shadows to add dimension to this furry creature. The sun makes the bunny glow at a certain angle making it even more beautiful and captivating. Life is good.
