Summer Learning Journey - Week 4 - Day 5 - Bonus Activity

It's been a wonderful journey during the Summer Learning Journey. It's been great travelling through times and learning about over 200 years of New Zealand history. For the last Summer Learning Journey I had to write a description of what New Zealand will be like at the time (80-90 years from now). In my description I have to write what kind of houses will people live in, what people eat and where will people work.

I think 80 years time houses will be two story and have elevators in them. I also think there going to be more bigger rooms with more closets. I think food will be more expensive. I think the pizza we eat will be more big. Maybe there will be machines that prepare your breakfast, lunch and dinner. I think people will work late and finish late. I also think people will be working in good and stylish buildings. The one thing I am always thinking about in the future is having cars to fly.

Summer Learning Journey - Week 4 - Day 5 - Activity 2

Today for the Summer Learning Journey I have completed activity for day 5 of week 4. For this activity I had to pick out of three cars and tell why I picked that car. The three cars below are the three I had to choose from. I decided to choose the flying car on the right.

I would like the flying car because it can take me too places that are pretty far. If I have to rush someone (e.g birthday) the flying car can use its speed to take me quickly to the birthday. I would like this car because it looks stylish. My last reason on why I like the flying car is if there is traffic and I need to rush to school the flying car can fly over the cars and would take me to school quickly and safe.

For this Summer Learning Journey activity I had to think about my future. What would I like to do when I finish school? Would I like to work in a specific job? Would I like to study at university? What would I study? Maybe I'd even like to move overseas.

When I finish college I would like to go to University to go study to become a pilot. This was my dream job since I was a little kid. During my rugby games there would be a plane flying pass the rugby field and instead of concentrating on the game I looked up to the plane. I want to be a pilot because I want to travel around the world.

For this Summer Learning Journey activity I had to choose my favorite song and write down the person who wrote it, the name of the song and the lyrics of the song. To earn full points for this activity I had to write down lyrics not copy it from a website. My favorite song is don't give it up. When I hear the music I can't stop singing it even though I don't know that much lyrics. 

Song name: Don't give it up

Song writer: Six60

Lyrics:

Don't give it up

I'm telling you

Telling you

Telling you, I

Won't give it up

No, no, no

So don't even

Don't even

Don't even try

People lie all they do is dance between the lines they wont change fake gold chains and shades to hide those eyes

I can't complain

Its just the nature of these times, times

Don't give it up

I'm telling you

Telling you

Telling you, I

Won't give it up

No, no, no

So don't even

Don't even

Don't even try

I was you, trying to find a way

To waste my youth

Ups and downs

Round and round

The world, it turns on you

I can't complain

Its just the nature of these times, times

Don't give it up

I'm telling you

Telling you

Telling you, I

Won't give it up

No, no, no

So don't even

Don't even

Don't even try

Summer Learning Journey - Week 4 - Day 4 - Activity 2

For the Summer Learning Journey I have completed activity for day 4 of week 4. For this activity I had to watch a a little clip from Country Calendar. After watching the clip I had to give at least two reason on why/why not I should be a farmer when I get older.

For me I would like to be a farmer

WHY?

1. I wouldn't like to become a farmer because it doesn't look fun.

2. I wouldn't like to become a farmer because its not my dream job.

3. My last reason on why I don't want to become a farmer when I grow older is because I don't want to drive big trucks.

Summer Learning Journey - Week 4 - Day 4 - Activity 1

For this Summer Learning Journey activity I had to watch the trailer for Moana and then write a summary of the movie on your blog. If I've already seen the movie which I have, I have to include my favorite part!. I have to tell what the movie is it about? Who are the main characters in the movie? What do they do in the movie? Where do they go?


I've seen this movie times now. My favorite parts is when Maui and Moana was fighting the shinny crab. In this movie is all about a Polynesian girl called Moana from a island far far away called Motonui. The Main Characters are Maui and Moana. Maui is the big man with the moving tattoos who has a big hook. This hook can make him turn into anything. This movies is about Moana going on missions and adventures trying to save her people. One day while Moana was on her journey she met Maui. They both sail together across the sea and fight big monsters like the shiny crab. This is all I know about the movie Moana.

Bonus Activity: Shake it Off

In recent years, many New Zealanders have embraced a new form of exercise called Zumba©. It was developed by a man named Alberto Perez who lives in the country of Columbia. He created Zumba by bringing together many different dance styles including: cumbia, mambo, hip-hop, soca, samba, salsa, tango, merengue and mambo.

            The Merengue                                      The Tango

Choose one of the dance styles mentioned above and click on the name to read more about it. Once you are done, post three interesting facts about the dance style on your blog. In which country did it originate? Who originally created it?  

I decided to choose samba.

1. Samba is orignally a Brazilian music genre and dance style.

2. Most of the Samba drum is made out of light material so its easy for people to carry it on long parades.

3. Bands traditionally play Samba, which is carnival rhythms, in Brazil.

He played for the 2017 Mate Ma'a Tonga team last year. I was so proud that they made it to the Semi Finals with England. In 2016 he was named the RLPA (Rugby League Players Association) player of the year.

Activity 1: Chasing Great

Over the past 17 years New Zealand has experienced a number of sporting highlights, perhaps none larger than the back-to-back Rugby World Cup victories in 2011 and 2015. In both competitions our national rugby team, the All Blacks, was captained by a man named Richie McCaw. He is arguably one of the best rugby players of all time. A movie called Chasing Great was recently created to document his incredible rugby career.

Please watch the trailer for Chasing Great and read about Richie McCaw online. On your blog tell us three things that you learned about Richie that you did not know beforehand. What else would you like to know about Richie?

What I don't know about Richie McCaw?

1. I didn't know that Richie McCaw was born on the 31th of December 1980.

2. I also didn't know that McCaw was the first All Black to reach 100 caps, and the first rugby union player to win 100 tests.

3. I didn't know he had a movie name Chasing Great.

What else would I like to know about Richie?

1. I want know what his dream job is

Summer Learning Journey - Week 4 - Day 1 - Bonus Activity

Today I have decided to complete the bonus activity for week 4 of day 1. For this activity I had to take a selfie of myself and post on my blog. I had to try to Try to show at least one of my hobbies or one or my favorite things.


One of my favorite things to do is look  at previous photo like the one I'm holding below. That photo was taken during school. I like looking at photos because it takes me back when I was a little kid. I think looking at photos is a really amazing hobbie for me. 

Summer Learning Journey - Week 4 - Day 1 - Activity 2

Today I have completed one of the Summer Learning Journey activities. For this activity I had to Imagine that instead of Peter Jackson spending the money on the movies (Lord of the Rings) he decided to give all of this money to me. I have to tell what I would do with $300 million dollars.

For me I would half the money for the poor people and half for me. So the poor people will have $15,000,000 dollars and I will have the same amount as well. I would spend this on my school fees and school stationary. I would also spend on getting a new Chromebook for school and a new uniform for school. The last thing I would do with my money is buy new clothes and shoes.

Summer Learning Journey - Week 4 - Day 1 - Activity 1

Today I had completed one of the Summer Learning Journey activities. For this activity I had to tell what my family would usually do on special events such as birthdays or weddings. I have to tell what my special meal my family eat or if we go to a specific place. 

In our family our traditional birthday food is usually Tongan food like Faikekai& Lu Sipi, Otai. We sometimes celebrate our birthdays by eating fast food (like pizza) and normally eat cake with ice cream. Sometimes we go out places like our family members house.
