Destination New Zealand
Complete one holiday destination per week. Due date each Friday starting 22nd May.
Objective: To present an interesting brochure, advertisement, poster or blog post, celebrating the uniqueness of your chosen place in New Zealand.
Over the next 5 weeks your home study challenge is to become more familiar with Aoteroa – New Zealand and discover just how enterprising our country is.
Here’s how to do it.......
1. Choose anywhere in New Zealand you would like to go on holiday. Name this place.
2. On a map – locate your destination. Place this in your home study book.
3. Decide how you will get there – fly, bus, car, motor bike, cycle. Any mode of transport you wish. There is no budget. Research how long this would take and the cost.
4. Using the internet or other reliable sources research what this destination is known for – what it markets itself as to attract the tourist. Write this in your home study book.
5. Decide what you want to do at this destination and how long you will stay there. Make a list of your choices, including costs and a time table of activities. Write this in your home study book.
6. Check out the accommodation at your destination – and make a choice as to where you will stay. Again include prices.
Now that you have all your data, present this information in an interesting way e.g. as a brochure, advertisement, poster, blog post (presentation is important) (In your home study book is fine). Check your spelling of place names and activities. You may want to create a budget using an excel spread sheet.

Today we explored one of the key competencies - participating and contributing. This is our focus for the next 5 weeks. Think about what participating and contributing look like, how important these skills are for a learning environment and what each of us needs to do to make this part of our class culture.
Your challenge this week is to write a script (play) on a group of students participating and contributing. It can be in any learning area. To make it easier you can think of a fairy story - and use this as the structure, showing how a main character was participating and contributing.
This script is to be a maximum of 3 minutes long, and have 4 main characters.
