Who enjoys a delicious beef burger? How about a juicy steak on the BBQ? Many people in New Zealand enjoy eating meat, however, about 10% of New Zealanders are vegetarian. Vegetarians don’t eat any meat or meat products. Instead, most vegetarian food comes from plant-based products.
Pat Brown is the founder of Impossible Foods - a company that makes food (“meat”) from plants. They have discovered a way to genetically engineer plants to form a product that tastes, looks, smells and feels like meat. Pretty amazing ‘eh?!
Let’s look at the nutritional facts for two of the burgers made by the Impossible Foods company - the New Impossible Burger and the Original Impossible Burger.
- The new Impossible burger has 240 less calories than the original Impossible Burger.a
- The new Impossible burger has 40% less of the daily value of saturated fat than the original Impossible Burger.

Day 4 Activity 3 (Teaser Week) Summer Learning Journey
The current President of the United States of America (U.S.A.) is a man named Donald Trump. He was elected President in 2016. At the time, he promised the American people that he would build a wall between the U.S.A. and Mexico - the country immediately south of the United States. He made this promise because he wanted to stop people from crossing the American-Mexican border.
Earlier this year, a migrant caravan (people moving in a large group) came through South and Central America on its way to the Mexican-American border. The people in the caravan were heading to America to find jobs and build a better life for themselves and their families. You can learn more about them in this video.
Donald Trump’s plan to build the wall is very controversial (some people strongly agree with his idea and others strongly disagree).
I Think It's A Bad Idea Building A Wall Between Mexico And America, Because People Are Allowed To Travel Where Ever They Want and It's Really Stupid That Mexicans Are Not Allowed To Access America. So I Disagree With His Idea.
Day 4 Activity 2 (Teaser Week) Summer Learning Journey
Mahatma Gandhi was an activist best known for his role in helping India become an independent country in 1947. Prior to this, India was under British rule. During the fight to become free from England, Gandhi (and others) led peaceful protests, marches, and hunger strikes in India. His birthday (2nd October) is widely celebrated in India as the International Day of Nonviolence.
Gandhi originally studied to be a lawyer in London, England. When he completed his studies, he got a job in South Africa where he saw that people were treated differently because of their skin colour. He thought this was unfair and wrong, and so he organised protests to highlight the rights of Indians living in South Africa.
Gandhi impacted the world by using non-violent protest to bring about change. Recently, school students around the world have followed his lead and participated in peaceful protests about climate change. These were started by a girl called Greta Thunberg who, like Gandhi, is using nonviolent protest to try and make a change.
I would choose non violently, because violence is a serious thing around the world. People daily get beaten up either by gangs on the streets or in their own home. That is why I have chosen non violently because it helps stop violence around the world.
Day 3 Activity 3 (Teaser Week) Summer Learning Journey
Christopher Columbus was an Italian explorer born back in 1451. He started sailing when he was 14 years old and spent a lot of his life looking for a passageway from his home continent of Europe to Asia. He never found one. Instead, he spent much of his time in the Americas (North, Central and South).
Christopher Columbus was, and still is, a very controversial man. Some people would even call him ‘infamous’ (well-known for doing something bad) because he spent much of his life sailing around the world, enslaving innocent people, spreading diseases and taking natural resources from the countries that he visited. His actions had a significant impact on the lives of others. Who has had a significant impact on your life?
Jimmy Donaldson also known as MrBeast has been my inspiration since day one. I have looked up to him my whole life and the reasons are pretty easy. If you don’t know MrBeast has been partnering up with Arbor Day and has made a site called team trees, and you can simply donate any amount of money that amount of money will be the number of trees planted. So far this has been the biggest charity event ever. The second reason is that he is so selfless with his money and either gives it away to the homeless or his friends.
MrBeast is my biggest inspiration and if it wasn’t for him then there would be no more trees.

national women’s rugby team, until 2018. The Black Ferns have been a very successful team,winning the
Women’s Rugby World Cup a record five times. Wow!
Women’s Rugby World Cup a record five times. Wow!
Despite this success, the Black ferns have only recently become ‘professional’
rugby players who are paid to play rugby. Although they are paid,
the Black Ferns make less money than members
of the men’s professional rugby team - the All Blacks.
This difference in pay is often called the gender pay gap’ and it is not
uncommon in sports

I Agree that all Athletes Genders should get the same amount of payment that every other Men Athletes receive,
Because It’s not fair that Women Athletes wins a tournament and does not get the less payment than the men.
