Activity 3: Picture Perfect 

It took a long time to get to the view.  I had to drive to get here and when I arrived I decided to take a selfie and when I looked into my phone I thought it looked beautiful. 

Then I saw someone else doing what I was doing and I asked her how did she get here, and she got here the same way I did. I asked her how her travels have been.  I also ask where she was from. She said New York. I thought that was cool. We formed a friendship and we went around the world visiting exciting places together. 

Day 3 First you 'sea' 'Me, Now You Don't...

Activity 1: Night Owls 

Are you a night owl or a early riser?

My sister and brother are night owls because they are all ways talking to each other at night.

My sister is also a early riser in the morning.

My dad is a early riser because he has work to do on the farm he wakes up about 4.30 am in the morning.

Activity 2: A Local Delicacy

My favorite food of all is my mum's chocolate brownies.
The ingredients are:
Butter, Cocoa powder, eggs, caster sugar, vanilla essence and self-raising flour.

Activity 3: The midnight Zone
500kg / 25kgs = 20 adults
500kg / 15kgs = 33.33 but you can't have .33 of a child
Change to 495kg / 25kg = 19.8, can't have .8 of adult,  so will take away .8
25kgs x 19adults = 475 + 15kgs = 490
25kgs x 18adults = 450kgs
495-450 = 45, 45 / 15 = 3 children
18 adults x 25kgs each = 450, + 3 children x 15kgs = 495kgs
18 adults and 3 children.
I had to have help from mum and a calculator as I found this hard.
