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 3 - Day 1 - Activity 1

Today I did the Summer Learning Journey. I have completed week 2 and now coming to week 3. I have completed activity 1 for day 1. For this activity I had to say weather I like it or not with the meat and three veg rule.

I think the meat and three veg rule is good. I would enjoy a delicious meat with three veg. I like it because it means I don't need to eat more veges than I do at home. I usually eat 5 veg which is usually tomato, lettuce, broccoli, carrot and potato. The meat and three veg rule is great because if you want to loose weight this can be a good diet for you.

For the Summer Learning activity I leanrt that women in Saudi Arabia weren't allowed to vote until 2015.

For example womens should get paid the same amount as men.

In Flanders Fields

BY JOHN MCCRAE

In Flanders fields the poppies blow

Between the crosses, row on row,

    That mark our place; and in the sky

    The larks, still bravely singing, fly

Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago

We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,

    Loved and were loved, and now we lie,

        In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:

To you from failing hands we throw

    The torch; be yours to hold it high.

    If ye break faith with us who die

We shall not sleep, though poppies grow

        In Flanders fields.

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

Summer Learning Journey is on its way. Today, I did the activity for day 1 of the Summer Learning Journey. For this activity I needed to read story about Maui and the giant fish. After that I had to find three facts about Maui's giant fish. Below is three facts abouts Maui and the giant fish. I think this is a really intresting Maori story to read.

First fact - Maui would always beg his brothers to go fishing with him but the eldest brother "You're so skinny we might mistake you for some bait and throw you overboard for the fish to eat."

Second fact - During one night Maui secretly snuck into the hull of the brothers canoe ready to go fishing in the morning.


Third fact - When Maui caught the fish he told his brothers to guard the fish while he went to get their people.The problem was as soon as Māui had gone, the brothers began cutting greedily at the huge fish.
