Day two/Activity 3: Miracle on the Hudson

For this activity, we would like to hear about a time when you, or someone you know, was brave like Sully.Mr Chesley Sullenberger, or “Sully” as he was known, was an airline captain.He was forced to land his plane.Amazingly, all 155 people on board the A320 plane survived the landing.On our blog, we need to recount a time when we had someone do something really brave.

Recount - When I was 10 years old we were visited by a man from the New zealand army after knowing about him I went to my dad in order to further extend my knowledge on people who go to war. My Uncle Aisake,Afamasaga joined the U.S.A army. I think this is a brave thing to do because not all people would sacrifice there life just to save world or country. Now his uniform has been passed down to my uncle and now to my dad and next will be passed down to my brother.

Day two/Activity 2: One Small Step for Man

For this activity, we needed to  imagine that we were Neil Armstrong. We needed to write a short poem describing how we felt when we first set foot on the moon. Neil Alden Armstrong as an American astronaut and the first person to walk on the Moon.He was also a naval aviator, test pilot, and university professor. I really thought about rhyme it and also making my words detailed.

Poem - I step on the moon and dust came up
             Not a single sound not a single mouse
             Each step left a footstep and eyer step
             Left a remarkable mark. I'm shocked
             I'm scared what planet did I land on
             I can't take another step someone take
             Me down I can feel like I'm drifting away
             And away take me back far away.

Day 2/Activity 1: Flying Solo

For this activity we need to compare and contrast two aviators which was Jean batten and Amelia earhart.Jean Batten was a famous aviator (pilot) who was born in Rotorua, New Zealand in 1909.Amelia Earhart was an American aviator who lived at about the same time as Jean Batten. Here I needed to use the venn diagram provided to compare each aviators.  Did you know that Amelia earhart was the first female aviator to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean and that.Jean batten was the First person to fly solo from England to New Zealand

The SPCA is dedicated to preventing cruelty towards animals.SPCA goal is to protect over 40,000 animals in New Zealand every year. Animals who are sick, injured, abused or simply abandoned.

Day One /Activity 1: Setting Sail

For this activity, we need to make a list of ten food items that we  could take with us. We needed to think careful as we wouldn't have access to a refrigerator or freezer while at sea. Then we need to explain the list of 10 food items we have selected to take on an ocean voyage and the reasons why we chose these items.This was a really hard and interesting DLO because we had to try and think of foods that can't be inside of a fridge, that can be made easily and are also nice and yum.

Day One/Activity 2: Discovering Aotearoa

For this activity we need to think about our own experiences and our own cultural background. I have created a DLO to share about my culture.The stars on the Samoan flag represent the Southern Stars that were followed by the ancestors of the Pacific people to the island of Samoa. February 24, 1949 was the date the Samoan flag became official.For the dancese men and boys are topless and have a lavalava with a stringy strap around their legs. For the Girls if they are doing a siva nafi they wear a fala and they have a crown which has mirrors on which is shaped like circle. They girls are also covered in oil to make them look shiny and to stick money on when people give money the also have a necklace and have C shapes on their face. For the girls doing a normal dance they were a Lavalava a matching top and also have the c shape on their Face.Samoa is a group of nine islands in the South Pacific Ocean. Samoa is known for its beautiful scenery. There are many native Samoans whose ancestors arrived in Samoa by boat. I come from the beautiful island of Apia.
