Hi Amanda! My name is Mia from Yaldhurst Model School and I am also one of the participants of the Summer learning journey. Wow! you have done a great reason about logging, it is a wonderful opinion, I also think the same. This reminds me of when I was working on the greenhouse effect, I was thinking to myself 'this must also be another reason that the greenhouse effect gets worse' because we need more trees to reduce the amount of Carbon dioxide in the air. I don't really have much to say about this post, although instead of using a slide if you wanted just one page on the blog, you can use a drawing and embed it too, it can also come up bigger without going over the edge.
ReplyDeleteAwesome work!
Mia
Kia Ora, Mia
DeleteWell done for leaving such a thoughtful and impressive response to Amanda's blog post. I'm glad to see you comparing this activity to some work you've done previously before, and happy to hear that it has sparked some thinking.
Because of this thoughtful and engaging response, you've earned yourself 2 bonus points. I'll be sure to alert Emma in Uru Mānuka to let her know.
Thanks,
Jordan
Hello Mia! Thank you for the positive things you've said and for your suggestion, I'll make sure to use it in the future :)
DeleteThank you,
Amanda
Kia ora Amanda and Mia,
DeleteMy name is Laura and I am working with the Christchurch Summer Learning Journey cluster, Uru Manuka this summer.
Wow! I'm blown away with both your work on the activity Amanda, and your very thoughtful response to this blog post Mia. This is what the Summer Learning Journey is all about - sharing ideas and opinions, reading each others posts and responding to one another. You two have done a fabulous job of this and it is so great to see students from different parts of Aotearoa working together online.
Amanda, I am so happy to hear you are interested in New Zealand's environment. We are incredibly lucky to have such a beautiful country, but already there are parts that are getting very polluted.
A few years ago, I travelled to Haiti (a country in the Caribbean that suffered from a massive earthquake in 2010). One thing I noticed was how logging was destroying the natural environment there. It is called 'deforestation' - if you are interested, this would be something you could research.
Well done, both of you, for engaging so well in the topic and sharing your thoughts with each other and the rest of your readers.
Merry Christmas!
From Laura
Kia Ora, Amanda
ReplyDeleteCongratulations for another top quality response to a Summer Learning Journey activity— as you can see, it was SO appealing that you've attracted commenters from another cluster. Mia's school, Yaldhurst Model School is in the Uru Mānuka cluster which is down south, around Christchurch. Feel free to jump on over to her blog page and leave a thoughtful comment on some of her work, too.
I really like how you've engaged with this activity and given us a lengthy opinion. I appreciate your comment: "If we don't use the logs from the forest then how is furniture going to be made?"— do we make the furniture here, though? Or even the houses? Did you know that we export most of our timber to overseas countries such as Japan? The truth is, is that we don't keep a lot of the stuff that we grow here— majority of it is exported overseas. This helps to support our economy, but means that we don't have direct access to our resources. This lends a lot to think about so feel free to ask me questions or do some research yourself so that we can have a conversation about it.
Keep up the great mahi, Amanda
Thanks,
Jordan
Hello Jordan :)
DeleteI really appreciate people having the time to comment my work, it gives me more confidence to post more things and allows me to improve on making my work more outstanding.
Wow... I never knew we exported things to other countries, but do you think we should keep most of things we grow to ourselves? Could we possibly loose most of property?
If you have the time, can you please reply and answer my questions? I'm just really interested about New Zealand's environment... I mean who knows what could happen after 10 years? Animals could be dying... Trees could be disappearing...
Thank you for having the time to comment on my work :)
Amanda
