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.

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.

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.

Today for the Summer Learning Journey I have come activity 2 for day 5. In this activity I have learnt what men and women wore to cricket games back in the 1940s. Men use to wear suits and hats and women wearing dresses, hats and gloves. For this activity I had to compare the clothing that was worn in 1940 and the clothes that I wear now. I also had to tell which one I would prefer to wear.


The clothes I wear clothes is way different from the 1940s. I didn't wear suits and hat to any sporting games. I usually wear shorts, t-shirt and a jacket. I don't really wear hats to sporting games as well. For me I would prefer the modern style clothing because it is more stylish and their is more brands like Nike, Puma, Adidas, etc.

For this Summer Learning Journey I have completed Actvitiy 2, Day 4 for Week 2. For this activity I had to go on this link to find a list of VC winners from World War 2.VC means Victoria Cross. VC is a special medal awarded to those mens who participated in World War 2 and did unique things during the War. I decided to choose a men name James Allen Ward. James Ward was the first New Zealander airman to win the VC medal. Ward joined the the RNZAF in July 1940. I have learnt that James Ward was born in Wanganui where he was educated at Wanganui Technical College. James Ward was awarded his VC medal because of his braveness. Jame Wards Vickers Wellington bomber was set on fire by an enemy fighter plane. Ward decided to climb out of the plane and onto the burning wing and tryed to smother the fire, but unfortanetly he couldn't block the leaking petrol pipe. I think James Ward was a brave New Zealander airman.
