Auckland Islands Presentation

Hi there, today I am going to tell you about The Auckland Islands. They are located 465 kilometres south of the South Island, NZ. We did a Maths activity We had to use maths clues and road tips to help us solve several problems and equations. We had to learn about different parts of the island and mark them down on a map while we worked. It was really fun.

We learned about failed settlements, castaways and shipwrecks and subtraniac islands. I learned to use morse code. Morse code was used in war times when countries were worried that their letters and battle plans might be take by enemies. Each series of dots and dashes mean a different letter or number. I pretended to write a letter to someone using morse code. 

One of the  New Zealand penguin species are the Yellow Eyed Penguins. Which live on the Auckland Islands. We had to use the math clues, which was an algorithm method. We had a multi choice answer =

  1. Hi Nellie,
    I really enjoyed your blog post. We read about morse code in our reading group as well. You could explain about what the failed settlements were or why they failed. It was really hard to give feedback because I think that it is really good. Overall you have a fabulous blog post.
