Week 1 - Day 2 - Bonus Activity Special Meals

For my bonus activity I had to find my favourite meal and find the recipe. My favourite food is butter chicken but bought from the shop. This is my favourite food because I love eating chicken and rice together. I have found a recipe of how to make easy butter chicken.

Step 1 : Place yoghurt, garlic, ginger, cumin, coriander, garam masala and chilli powder in a glass or ceramic dish. Add chicken. Stir to coat. Cover. Refrigerate for 2 hours.

Step 2 : Heat oil and butter in a heavy-based saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 4 minutes or until softened. Add chicken mixture to pan. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until chicken just starts to change colour. Add tomato puree and stock. Cover. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes or until chicken is tender and mixture has thickened slightly.

Step 3: Stir in cream. Simmer for a further 5 minutes or until heated through. Serve with steamed rice and coriander leaves.

Week 1 - Day 1 - Bonus Actitivity Waka ama

For this activity I have to write why or why not would you do this activity.

I would love to do this activity because it looks like a good exercise. I love trying new things and playing new sports in my spare time. If i did a waka ama race I would meet new friends and learn to use team work and communication to win. This activity looks really fun but difficult at the same time. I wouldn't enter a real race unless I get a life jacket because Unlucky for me if the waka tips over I cant swim.

Kelly Tarltons - Bonus Activity

For this Bonus activity our challenge was to write down all the prices for Kelly Tarltons. Me by my self will cost $22 and going with my whole family will cost $105. Family A pass is for families that have less members in their family and is cheaper by $31. Family B pass which is my family cost $105 which is $31 more then family pass A.

Sky tower - Bonus Activity

Adults wanting to try out sky walk will have to pay $150. If your a student or a backpacker with ID it will be cheaper then adults by $20. Kids 10 - 15 will be the cheapest at $120 and a family pack with 2 adults & 2 children will be $420.

.

I have chose sky walk instead of bungy jump because I will never do that in my life. It is also really scary for because heights is my worst fear. I decided to do sky walk because that will be the only thing to conquer my fear. This event is more safer and cheaper then sky tower.

Rainbows End - Bonus Activity

For this bonus activity I have to write a 25 word summary of why I picked this ride and how I might have felt.

I have chosen the invader because this ride does 360 turns that goes faster and faster. I will be feeling anxious, but excited as well.

Day 6 - Bonus 8 points

Read about the Matariki festival at Te Papa.  There are so many different things to see and do at the festival this year. On your blog, tell us about three of the events. You can choose any three events that you wish.

Bonus Activity: As part of the Matariki festival, there is a two day Kapa Haka competition. The haka is a traditional war dance that Maori performed before going into battle. The haka is now performed by children/adults in the community and by professional sporting teams, including our national rugby team, the ‘All Blacks.’  The All Blacks have performed various haka over the years. Watch the following three haka videos (1 – 3) and, on your blog, list the haka videos in order from best (#1) to worst (#3). There are no right or wrong answers ☺

Day 5 - Bonus 10 points

Bonus Activity: You and your tour group have enjoyed your day in the mountains but you’re ready for a change of scenery. You ask Curious Kiwi to take you to Central Otago, a region of the south island with lots of rolling hills and flat, brown grasslands. While in Central Otago, you decide to join the Otago Central Rail Trail – a 150 km long cycle trail. Curious Kiwi and I (Rachel) cycled the Rail Trail in April and we loved it!

On your blog, tell us whether you would like to cycle the Otago Rail Trail one day. Does it sound like fun? Why or why not?

Yes I would really like to join the Otago Central Rail Trail and do a 150 km long cycle trail because it sounds really fun. I would want to do this because I would want to lose weight and to be better at cycling. This will push me to a higher level at cycling and maybe I might enjoy it and do it more often.

Day 4 - Bonus 10 points

Bonus Activity: Hector’s dolphins are a very special native animal found only in New Zealand. They are the smallest dolphin in the world measuring 1.5 metres long and they are quite rare. Sadly, many Hector’s dolphins are killed every year when they get caught in large fishing nets and can’t escape. Some people have argued that fishermen shouldn’t be allowed to fish in Farewell Spit in order to protect the dolphins living there. What do you think? On your blog, tell us whether you think that fishing in Farewell Spit should be banned (stopped).

Yes, I think fishing in farewell spit should be banned because hector is part of our land and culture and to kill them with fish nets is a horrible death. Fisher mans should well be banned from farewell spit and to never fish or net there ever again for the hectors safety. I want to be able to tell other people that the smallest dolphin (The Hector) is well being looked after and still healthy and safe.

Day 1 - Bonus Activity 8 points

Bonus Activity: Now it’s time to start your tour! Curious Kiwi decides to start by taking you on a short tour through downtown Auckland. You stop at the Sky Tower, the tallest building in all of New Zealand. When you look up, you see a huge New Zealand flag on the top of the tower. This flag was created back in 1902. That makes the New Zealand flag 115 years old!

Last year, the Prime Minister of New Zealand suggested that we should replace the flag with a new, updated design. He invited everyone in New Zealand to come up with their own flag design and submit it.

For this activity, it is your turn to design a new flag. Use any drawing programme that you wish. I would recommend the Flag Designer website. It allows you to create a flag in three easy steps. When you are done, take a screenshot of your flag and post it on your blog.

This is my flag that I have made the app flag designer. I chose to create this flag because the symbol almost looks like a poppie so that this flag remembers the brave women and men that thought in World War I.
