Hey guys, we are doing a summer learning activity programme. This is just a practice one to get me warmed up. We get awarded points for doing this and also points for getting comments on our blog. This will be done during the summer holidays.
Fact #1: Today 4.4 million New Zealanders rule New Zealand. 64% are European, only 14.6% are Maori, 9.2% are Asian and 6.9% are Non-Maori Pacific Islanders.
Fact #2: Over three quarters of the population in New Zealand is in the North Island. Also 1/3 of the total population living in Auckland.
Fact #3: A person started jumping off illegal places for other people to think that it was safe for other people to do it as well. He invented the bungy jump.

I feel like this is going to be a very fun activity to do over the summer holidays. I am really excited for the holidays to come up so I can do this activity.
Kia ora Ben,
ReplyDeleteWhat awesome facts you have found. I really liked your fact about AJ Hackett who invented bungy jumping. He really is a backyard genius. This reminds me of an extreme sport in Vanuatu called land diving, which is where AJ Hackett found his inspiration. Have you thought about whether you would like to do a bungy jump?
I am so excited to hear of your enthusiasm for the Summer Learning Journey. I, too, am excited to get started on the 18th December and read all of your blog posts.
Have an amazing day Ben,
Megan from the Summer Learning Journey
