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. People often volunteer to help these poor animals. Did you know over 40k have been rescued.

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.

Garry Kasparov

This week for the Summer Learning Journey it is the teaser week. We have decided to do the teaser week for practise for the real activity's.He has been the top-ranked chess player for 15 years straight ( 1985 - 2000 ). He is also known as G.O.A.T which means greatest of all time. He had started playing chess when he was 17 years. He practised every single day and hour. Here is mys story:

Pay Gap

The Black Ferns have been a very successful team, winning the Women’s Rugby World Cup a record five times.Although they are paid, the Black Ferns make less money than members of the men’s professional rugby team - the All Blacks. I think that The women should get the same amount of pay as the the all blacks men. I think that this is unfair as both teams are playing the same rugby therefore they should be paying both teams with the same amount of pay. I don’t think that giving the women team members and lower amount of pay is fair because it means that the women's team is not important or useful.

Faster than a speeding bullet

Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce,  is a Jamaican track and field sprinter. Born and raised in Kingston, Jamaica.Shelly, who trained for the Olympics with teammate Asafa Powell, became the first Jamaican woman in history to win an Olympic gold medal in the 100 m sprint. For this activity.For this activity, we need to  create four new similes on shelly ann fraser pryce

BFG

BFG is a Big Friendly Giant. He’s a giant yes a giant and he lives with 5 ugly,mean and dumb giants. All of these giant's hate humans but BFG does not he actually sees humans all the time at night as he is the keeper or the person who stores your dreams. BFG is really big and looks old. I imagined he smells like snozzcumbers and frobscottle as he always eat that. BFG is a brave person in one part of the movie he meets the queen. It hard to see someone special when you are different. I would use Big,Friendly,Giant,Funny,Crazy,Brave,Weird,Old,Helpful and kind hearted to describe BFG.

My Pepeha

This week for the summer learning journey . It is day 1 and I have completed activity 2.for this activity, we needed create your own pepeha. You can write the pepeha in any language that you wish. Pepeha is like a mihi that tells other people more about you.  My pepeha explains my name,family,culture,my mountain and my river.

Gifting Rainbow Crayons

To pay it forward LS2 has donated some crayons to somerville. This is a photo showing the crayons we have created. We thought that we could gift some of our crayons to somerville kids because we thought that this would make people feel happy. We packaged these up and sent them to somerville. We thought that the somerville student would love the crayons because of the bright colours and all the gillter. We would like to thank Mrs linda for her help and also like to thank the girls who helped as well as Mrs Anderson.

Tesselation

This week for math we were looking at Tessellation.  Tessellation is an arrangement of shapes closely fitted together, especially of polygons in a repeated pattern without gaps or overlapping. This is my Tessellation. I have thought about my colours to show my pattern in a certain way. I have picked the Crossed liked shape in order to make my pattern. The aim was to cover as much of the white squares as possible. Doing this I noticed that I picked a small shape which was harder because the smaller my shape was the more I need to think about where I could place it. But if I picked a Wider shape if would pretty much cover most of the white squares. The colours I used was dark magenta 1,2 and 3. Next time I think I would use more brighter colours and a wider shape.

Rainbow crayons/Fake Instagram advertisment

This is a fake Instagram template we have created in order to get customers.First we email all teachers at the school asked for permission for us to come and collect some old crayons they aren't using. Then we need to color code then and also cut them so that when we placed it in the mold it would fit.Next Me,Haylee and Avalon were sent to the school kitchen to start making the crayons. What we would do was have stations, (Filling Mold,Melting and also the fridge) We worked well and managed to make 99.After that we then need to package them. We used clear packaging. We careful packed each crayon as we didn’t want crayon all over the packaging. Then we need to work on our banner.We then started to work on making a banner and decoration for our stall. We have created rainbow logos and used a lot of colors. We then have taped then together to join it.To make it interesting some girls have put together a playlist for our stall.

Then after that we moved onto discus there were 3 different kinds of spots to throw the hop over and they were point 1, 3 and 5 we tried to stick with 1, 3 because it would be easier for use and because at the end of the game we won with 31 points.

We each had a script which we had to say when we were recording the chatter pix. We also added some facts and information about William Shakespeare and how old he and when he died. 

Helping Room 2!

Today I went to room two to help some of Mrs Pydres Student. Here is a photo of me helping Tonga and AJ learn the alphabet. I first gave them a tip which was to sing the alphabet to help them remember each letter. Then we practiced writing each letter together I used some simple words to explain how to draw each letter. After writing each word I would get them to make a sentence and then sound out the letter. I really liked how AJ and Tonga were really respectful and if they had a question they would always raise there hands. Thank you to Mrs Pydres for helping me achieve one of my activity to earn my fist gold badge

Personification Writing

The morning shines upon my face and the thick glass protects my face from the roaring wind. People stare and people laugh but all I do is glare right back while they pass. Then all of a sudden I hear a ring by the door and someone puts their hand on my face. But I wonder if they ever use soap..I get shoved in a box then I peek through the whole and see the things I’ve never seen before. After days of being loved, things started to change. My hand tied in a not no longer able to undo and my feet begin to feel poor as I’m thrown in front of the door.  I see the Sun I see the night I see what goes by me whenever I am left alone. As I touched the brown muddy black puddle my holes give way for the brown water this makes me drown and I hope for a bath. My ripped holes make all the water come threw l am scared what to do. My hands aren’t tied l am being dragged through the black muddy water l can feel the rocky muddy ground as l went under for a second dive. Still waiting for that bath!The last thing I heard was the roaring wind across my face the last thing I knew was it was time to say goodbye and off to the bin I started to cry being all alone broke my heart but being unwanted tore my apart.

This week for writing we focused on Personification. Personification means giving a non - living object human qualities. For today's class we needed to find partner. Then we need to sit back to back and try and write a personification writing with out talking or looking at each other.We thought about personification and the 5 senses to help us write a shoes journey. My partner was Avalon we mange to write 11 sentences. It was hard because we couldn't communicate as we both did our own things.

Reading Presentation

Me and Avalon chose School as we are in school as well. This first slide explains about the usual and horrible names that were given to children. Queen Victoria didn't like children so she used daily words to name children. The next slide talked about school punishments. Did you know that if you spilled ink on your piece of paper of if you made finger marks your hand would be caned until they were sore. The next slide talked about the school teacher. Did you know that men teachers were paid more that women teacher. The last slide is some interesting facts about queen Victoria. Did you know that On Christmas her and her husband would send decorated trees to school to help celebrate Christmas. People thought of her as a Royal Disease. She had 9 children and she married Albert,Prince Consort. Did you know that she ruled for over 63 years and died at the age of 81. A lot of people didn't know that her real name was not Victoria.
