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 2 - Activity 2 The rules of engagement

For this activity I had to draw a picture of my dream job. My dream job is to become a New Zealand Police officer. To work as an police officer I would have to have a lot of skills including critical thinking and adaptability. In the future I hope to get a job like this to help the community and help them from danger. 

Week 1 - Day 2 - Activity 1 A house or a home

Today for my first activity on Day 2 I had to compare a Maori Pa to my house. I have decided to create a ven diagram to show my thinking and give you a clear picture. There are some interesting differences and similarities. Today I have learnt that a Maori Pa is made out of timber, fern,rushes and bark. I have enjoyed this activity cause I learnt new Maori words for the different rooms.

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.

Day 2 - Activity 2

Activity 2: As an island nation, New Zealand is completely surrounded by water. It is the perfect place for people who like to swim or to sail! While in Dargaville, recovering from your busy day of sightseeing, you notice a number sailboats going by. One of the boats is manned by a young German girl named Laura Dekker. At the age of fourteen she sailed around the world the entire world by herself. You can watch a short video clip about her adventures here: Laura Dekker sailing trip.   

Let’s imagine that you had the chance to interview Laura while in Dargaville. On your blog post five questions that you would ask her.

1. What did you eat?
2.  Why did you pick to sail by yourself?
3. Did you ever regret it?
4.  At some point did you miss your family?
5. Why did you want to do this journey?

Day 2 - Activity 1

Activity 1: After a very busy day of sightseeing you and your group drive from Tane Mahuta to your hotel in Dargaville. When you arrive you decide to sit down and record your thoughts in your travel diary

.Before you start writing, take a minute to read more about Rangitoto island, Karekare beach and Tane Mahuta.  On your blog, tell us which of the three places you most enjoyed visiting and why.  

Rangitoto Island is my favourite place out of these 3 choices because Rangitoto has a enriched history and emerged from the sea 600 years ago. But the big reason why I chose Rangitoto because it is 259 meters above sea level so I want to experience the phenomenal view.
