Activity 3: Weird and Wonderful summer learning journey

In an normal year there are 365 days. If you water cacti 3 mls each day you will need. 365 days x by 3 mls of water so that it doesn't die.
 3 x 5 =15
3 x 60 = 180
3 x 300 = 900
900 + 180 + 1115 =1095
i checked this on my calculator and it was the same answer and i new it was right. in a leap year it has one day more. So it will be 1095 + 3 = 1098.

Activity 1: In the Beginning. Summer learning journey

My first fun fact for New Zealand is based on 'God saved the Queen' is a national anthem for Britian and for New Zealand. There are two words that I didn't know what there meaning was, one of the word is reign i now know it means it means rule as King/Queen. The other word is knavish which means dishonest.

The sky tower is in New Zealand and it is 328 meters high it is a great view my great grand dad helped them to draw the sky tower for a better look, my great grand dad was an architect which means he draws buildings and helps them make it.

My last fun fact is a third of New Zealand is forest.
