Living on the Edge

Dear AJ,

I just went on a school trip to the tundra.It was so cold and freezing.I think the temperature was -28 degrees.It was really dry because it hardly ever rains just like a desert.It was so strange to see no trees at all.I'm glad we went in summer because winter is so much colder and lasts for 8 months.Sometimes the sun doesn't even rise for weeks.I am so glad to be at home now.I really enjoyed visiting the tundra.

love Te Raumati  

Towering Timbers

I think logging shouldn't be allowed in NZ because it wrecks animals homes and kills the trees.It's not good for mother nature and it doesn't look nice. 

Salt and Pepper

I would make my hotel out of flowers because they are beautiful,colourful,fresh and they give the hotel a good smell.
I would build my hotel somewhere that is warm and rains sometimes because this weather will keep the flowers nice and fresh.
