Our Travel Bugs

We have three travel scrapbooks that have been started this term.  Each of us will have a turn to take one of the books home so that we can add some photos and text telling us about a trip we have been on.  This not only give us an opportunity to do a speech and present to the class, but we all get to find out more about places in New Zealand and in other countries.

An added bonus is we get to locate these wonderful places on Google Earth and it's great having a bird's eye view of the place as well as a street view.  We sure are learning a great deal.

Here is Ella sharing of her regular trips to National Park where her family have a house.  We enjoyed seeing photos of the big carrot at Ohakune, some beautiful waterfalls and photos of the snow covered mountains - Mt Ruapehu, Mt Tongariro and Mt Ngauruhoe.

That was so interesting, Ella!

Charlotte told us all about her big move from Christchurch to Auckland.  While she travelled by plane with her mum, her younger brother and big sister, her dad and big brother drove up by car.  They crossed the Cook Strait on a ferry and were lucky enough to see some dolphins.

Caleb wrote his own notes!  He told us all about the wonderful holiday he had in Rarotonga.  

They spent lots of time at the beach and also enjoyed exploring the beautiful tropical island.
