Summer Learning Journey: Week 1 Day 1

For this activity, make a list of ten food items that you could take with you. Please think carefully about what you will take as you won’t have access to a refrigerator or freezer while at sea. Please explain why you would select each item.

On your blog, post your list of 10 food items you would take on an ocean voyage and the reasons why you chose these items.

1. A Pineapple - Because they taste nice.
2. Canned Food - Because they last long.
3. Canned Peaches - Because they last long.
4. Canned Spaghetti - Because they last long.
5. Canned Tomatoes - Because they last long.
6. Canned Beetroot - Because they last long.
7. Canned Tuna - Because they last long.
8. Canned Corn - Because they last long.
9. Muesli Bars - Because they have lots of protein.
10. Trail Mix - Because there's lots of protein.

For this activity we would like you to think about your own experiences and your own cultural background. Where does your family come from? Do they come from Europe like Abel Tasman, Polynesia like Kupe, or somewhere else?

On your blog, please tell us about your cultural background. Where do you and your family come from?

My family has two different sides; My Dad's side is mainly European (English & Irish), and my Mum's from Samoa.

For this activity, please select a charity that you are interested in. You may choose your own or use one from our list (below). Read about the charity.

On your blog, write a short explanation of what the charity does.

I picked the SPCA, the SPCA is an animal charity that helps stray and injured animals find a good home. Over 40,000 pets are adopted from the SPCA every year in New Zealand.
