End of the week S.L.J week 2

Hello darkness my old friends I've come to talk to you again 
about the end of the week challenge of week 2! It is similar to the last end of the week. I had to choose a character and i decided to  choose Jane Fonda, a American actress she is in at least 49 one of her movies which is better for kids to watch is Elena and The secret of Avalor she is the villain... well not in real life.  Since she is an actress you could go see one of her movies. I am confused with this question so im gonna say it with what my brain thinks. So Jane Fonda acts on a lot of movies` so maybe she should compare other movies and not just stick to one, she should act and more childhood movies not the old adult movies. Well thats it for today bloggers see ya with another Summer learning journey blog !

Day 5 week 2 S. L. J

Hey bloggers and welcome back to a Summer Learning Journey post! sorry I haven't blogged in a while we were busy with

Christmas and Boxing Day. I had tuns of fun building Gingerbread houses but on to the real work! I am on week 2 day 5 and the challenge for today is to write 5 ways we could support the people who are affected by the fires, especially in Australia! My first thing by supporting the fires in other countries is making sure they have a house in case they don't have the materials, maybe like letting them move in! sound creepy right but its kind to do! The second thing i was wondering to do is sending them to other

countries so they are safe there, Just not South Wales and Victoria. The third thing I would like to do is give them old reusable clothing's or leftover pillows and blankets plus the fourth one is donating money OF Course.

The last one that i was thinking was similar to the fourth reason like selling materials and food then donate the money to the people in Victoria South Wales and Australia. Thanks for listening to my long reasons and a tip for the firefighters is spread out in different places in groups and sorry poor Kangaroo island! Now blog ya later bloggers!!!!!

Day 4 week 2 Summer Learning Journey

Hey bloggers, i'm back with another interesting Summer Learning Journey post. I had to read through seven Whakatauki (proverbs or Metaphors) presented in a document. I had to choose one of the meanings for me. I had to create a poster that features the Whakatauki that features an image on the poster that represents
that Whakatauki that i chose. I kind of don't get it but heres what I 
Think what the text meant.

I chose the first text of the site that said Whakataukī are used in a range of contexts in Māori such as whaikōrero to support the speaker in making a point, a statement, aligning the present with the wisdom of tīpuna/ tūpuna. I think  
this picture represented the meanings of the text. Here are some photos and blog ya later with another Summer Learning Journey
                                             POST!

Day 3 week 2 Summer Learning Journey

Welcome back bloggers with another Summer Learning Journey  blog post. In today's one we are choosing which women in New Zealand would replace Kate Sheppard who sadly did at Christchurch, wanna hear the whole story type her name and go on Wikipedia! besides that a replacement on her famous $10 note. Don't judge because I decided to choose this person, This is her full name Dame Valerie Kasanita Adams but her name for short is Valerie Adams. She is known for shot put and thats one of my reasons why i choose her because of her strength, she could easily knock knock someone out with just a fist. Another reason why I chose her is because she is a good sport when playing. Another reason is because she is thankful for what she gets and is vert grateful like me. Well in the Summer Learning Journey text it said just a small explanation but who cares(someone) 

Well i'm gonna end this for now bloggers, blog ya later with another fun Summer Learning Journey!

Day 2 week 2 Summer Learning Journey

Holidays are here! and here comes another Summer Learning Journey post about Mr Mandela. We had imagine we were Mr Mandela and we were living in Robben island prison and I have been given a journal each night in jail.
I had to imagine what Mr Mandela did each day and jail and how he feels about it on the island. I think he would say in the journal that he would miss his family if he has one. He would also say that he feels alone and lonely because obviously he's in jail! He would also feel depressed and sad because he might as well miss something that means something to him. I think he would also be

quiet loud in jail since he is alone. I think he would look out the window if there is one and try to find a way out. I think He wouldn't get away with it and remember this is my story not yours! Well thats all it  said bloggers comment and say your             opinion of what you would do. See ya with another Summer Learning Journey post when I see you again!

Jessica Watson, Tanielu Tele'a, Sachin Tendulkar , Ann Bancroft, Kelly Slater,  Tamatea and Laura Dekker.

Day 5 Summer Learning Journey

Yay, sorry if this Summer Learning Journey is making this boring for you bloggers, I just want to win so many prizes.  I am blogging about 3 treasures that I treasure. One of them is probably all kinds of books, like drawing books, reading books, colouring books and more. I like books because they are special with facts about the topic, another reason is because if your bored you could read or draw in it like I do at home. The second treasure thing that means to me is the violin because I use to like the sound it makes, I didn't wanna really tell anyone but now my secret is not safe and exposed. I use to play it but know I forgot about it because I have other more important things me and my family need to do. The last thing that is special to only me is clothes because who would want to be naked, disgusting its also feels good in a sensible way, Well I also love my family and they are special to me so don't forget that and blog ya later bloggers!

Day 4 Summer Learning Journey

Another blog about the summer learning journey. I just want to come 3rd 2nd or 1st, that would be wonderful. Today I am posting a blog about two famous siblings who play tennis. I had to watch a video and I have learned 3 new facts about them. One of my facts about them in the video is that there were one of the women top earning famous athletes, I was so surprised! The second fact I learned from the clip is Venus Williams ranks fifth among  highest paid women athletes. The third fact that I learned is nothing really but I learned that they play tennis together and are both sisters. The last question that I was suppose to answer was what would you like to know about these people, well I want to know who starting playing tennis first and what wanted to make you be together in it.

Well sorry for this long blog bloggers, Blog ya later with another Summer Learning Journey post.

Hey and welcome back bloggers. In this blog i'm doing another Summer Learning  Journey about team players. If we had superpowers we got to decide which superpowers suited us in a game. I wanted to choose invisibility so no one could see me, the second one would be speed so anyone couldn't catch up to me just see my speed lines.  The last both super powers I want in a Rugby game is invisibility so I never die and anyone won't touch me with their filthy hands, and the last super power I want is flying just because I want to see annoying seagulls and more birds. Well I had fun writing and choosing some super powers, I will see you later bloggers blog you later!

Big foot Biking

Hey bloggers , on Thursday the 28th our class Hauraki had our turn learning how to ride a bike. First we had to learn the different types of material on the bikes, the bike coaches taught us how to be seen when your on the road with a bike. After that we put our helmets on and learned how to put it on and keep it tight on our head, especially the forehead.

The the coaches told us what size of a bike we could have, then we rounded  around the courts high fiving  the coaches and went around each corner signalling with our hands. A while later we played a lot of fun games. The first game was in the box, you had to ride your bikes inside the box and not put your feet of the pedal or you were out or ride out side the outline of the box.

Then we played around the courts with our bikes for free time and have fun. After we had prize giving and got free pencils and a bike badge. We had a fun time and I learned how to balance on the bike. We had a lot of fun riding with bikes and learning to tricks and games. Blog you later!

Creative fun

                            Creative Fun
Hello bloggers, this week we did fun activities for the whole morning, there were nine activities Making butter, Origami frog, Marshmallow maths, Pavement art, Lego scene, Plasticine character, Plaudough insect and paper planes. At each station there were clear instructions, my favourite activity was the Pavement art because of the cool colours and blending. In the Marshmallow maths you had to pair up and make the tallest tower. In the Pavement art we have to draw on concrete and blend the colours in with your drawing. In cutting patterns you have to fold the paper and cut different shapes out, if you open the paper all the sides will be simaliar and have the same patterns. 

On making butter we just had to get cream and put it in the cup and shake until it separated. In paper air planes all you have to do is fold the paper and follow the instructions. On Plasticine character you just have to make something with clay as well as play dough insect just with play dough.

I had fun and learned how to make a lot of things, Well thats it for today bloggers, blog you later

Cultural people and garden opening

              Opening 
Hello my lovely bloggers, on Monday near the afternoon we had  a very exciting opening and a new song. We first practices the songs a few times then sat outside in our house groups to sing our lovely new song for the beautiful garden. After that the oldest person in the school to the youngest had to cut the ribbon together and finally open the garden. In the garden was the shimmering stones and the wonderful path way to the seat of friendship. The most special thing that was in the garden was the kowhai tree to remember all the victims who past away in Christchurch.

After the beautiful garden we moved and sat near the amazing cultural people designs that were covered up with purple sheets. They called up two students from each class to come up and pull of the sheet to show their incredible design. There were twenty cultural people and in order were the New Zealand girl, berm boy, Taiwan girl, Latin American girl,  Fijian boy,  Afghanistan  boy, Samoan girl, New Zealand boy, South African boy, Coco island boy, Malaysian girl, Niue girl, China boy, Maori girl/ Aotearoa,  Indian girl, Iranian boy, Pakistan boy, Tongan boy, Sri Lanka girl and last be not least Maori boy.

I loved the cultural people and the garden and I hope you enjoyed reading and looking at all the picture, Blog you later!

Beach Clean

Beach clean

Hey bloggers, in term 3 at the end of the term the hole senior syndicate went down to Waikowhai Bay to collect rubbish. We did this for climate change to help save the earth and animals. We walked down chanting with our signs and arrived at the beach. We split into groups of 4 - 6 and picked up rubbish with an adult. Each child and adult got gloves and separated  in different places of the beach We were the group who was on the main surface of the beach picking up rubbish near us. Our goal was to find small and tiny rubbish, Especially the ones that animals can spot.


We had large bags and found a lot of crabs behind rocks. What I found was some bras and some undies, I was very interested with who did it and who left it there.

After the long day we took a photo then we headed back for a delicious Ice block, then we finally went home.

Today's blog done guys blog you later!
