Summer Learning Journey Week 2 - Activities 3

Activity 3: Faded Glory [5 points]

The Great Barrier Reef is the world’s largest coral reef system, made up of 2900 individual reefs. It is so big that it can actually be seen from space! The reef is located on the east coast of Australia and many people believe that it is millions and millions of years old. For most of its life, the reef has been a healthy, vibrant ecosystem. Over the past thirty years, however, it has changed dramatically. Much of the beautiful bright coral has become bleached and has lost its colour. Sections of the reef have also been damaged by tourists, cyclones and the introduction of new, damaging invasive species.
The Australian government is working to protect and preserve the reef. Each year they spend about $200 million dollars repairing and protecting the reef. It is a lot of money and they could really use some help raising the money (funds) required to repair the reef. This is where you come in!
On your blog, list three different ideas or strategies for raising funds to preserve the Great Barrier Reef. What could you do to fundraise here in New Zealand?
1. Lemonade Stand (Summer Days)
2. Do the Chores for your Family
3. Clean the Neighbours Garden
4. Ask the Neighbours if they need help to do the chores
5. Garage Sales (Only sale the things that you don't need)

  1. Ka pai Helena,

    You have done a fabulous job brainstorming different ideas and strategies to raise funds within the community. These are all worth mentioning on your blog to give other students some ideas of how they can participate in raising funds to preserve the Great Barrier Reef. Lemonade stand during summer would be a total success!

    Did your family ever have a garage sale before? What sort of items would you put in your box? I would love to know.

    Keep up the good work,
    Susie :)
