Summer Learning Journey Week 1 Day 2

Kia Ora Bloggers! Today I will be blogging my 2nd day doing Summer learning journey. I really hope you read my other blog and enjoyed it. Hope you like this to.

Activity 1

My activity for today is to compare and Contrast two amazing and famous pilots. They are both female. Jean Batten and Amelia Earhart which they are both famous for flying a long distance. Sadly Amelia disappeared trying to fly around the world. Jean Batten did well and she flew from England to Australia and from England to New Zealand. Both are very famous for doing all of the long distance flights they did. 

Here is my compare and contrast link   

 

Activity 2

Hey bloggers! My second activity for today is a poem. This poem is of my chose and my task is to write how I think Neil Armstrong felt when he went on the moon. I chose to do a acrostic poem. Just in case you don't know Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk on the moon. He was a very good inspiration to many people. So here is what I think he felt when he was on the moon. I hope you like it!!

Activity 3

This activity was really funny when I read what I had to do. This task is to tell you when I did something really brave with someone I know. So I will tell you something brave I did at camp.

So this year I went to snow camp where we went to Mt Ruapehu. Mt Ruapehu to those that don't know what it is its a snow mountain. This was the first time I touched snow and I was really excited. On the second day I went we got to go on the Chairlift. A chair lift is a chair that goes up the mountain and really high. You have to make sure you get off at the right time. When I went on for the first time with Hosanna a string on my jacket got caught in the side on the chair and I didn't realize till when we had to hop off. I got off but the chair dragged me with it. I was so scared and I was laughing. The brave thing I did was go on again and this time I tucked the string in my pocket. Oh and when I was dragged the man had to stop the chairlift all for me. The embarrassing bit was that my class mates saw and were laughing

Summer Learning Journey

Kia Ora Bloggers!

Today I will be blogging about Summer learning journey. Summer Learning Journey is a fun way to learn in the holidays. Also in the holidays it keeps your grades up in stead of going down. It is a great way to learn and have fun. This is the 2nd time I will be doing it. I really love this opportunity. It keeps you from slumping. Slumping is when your grades go low.

Activity 2
This activity is my favourite. I get to tell all you people reading my blog about where I am from and my culture. Where I originate from, What I love about my culture, What language I speak and what is special or important to me. So today I will tell you all about the great and fantastic island....... SAMOA!!! My amazing homeland which I hear is amazing. Sad thing is I have never been I was born and raised in New Zealand. Here is a little bit about this superb place!!

My Family comes from the island of Samoa. Both my parents come from Samoa. My Mum she is from Samoa but my Dad is from American Samoa. American Samoa is called this because that part of the country is owned and belongs to the America State. The important things to my family is Church. Church and the gospel is one things that is important to us. Something else that is special is our *aiga. *Aiga in English means Family. Family is the most important thing within our family. Everyone in our family means a lot to all of us. Well as you can see I am from Samoa so the native language in my county is Samoan. I, myself speak English and I know some things in Samoan like Sau ( Come ), Fa'amolemole ( Please ) ect. My Parents speak Samoan fluently since they grew up in Samoa then came to New Zealand. Sometimes when they talk they say things in Samoan and then tell me what it means after I try think what it means (Get it wrong 75% of the time). Everything I know about my culture is amazing things. My favourite thing about Samoa is the clear water. It's Amazing!

I hope all the people in Samoa are okay as there is a measles out break!

*Aiga This means family. You say it like         I - ing - a


Activity 3

Hey bloggers! This activity actually has to be my favourite. For this activity I have to choose a Charity that we are interested in. Then tell you all the awesome things they do for people or animals. The one I want to do is SPCA. The reason I chose this one is because it is an amazing thing they do for animals and because I love animals.

The things that the SPCA do is amazing. They help animals that have been treated bad, injured, or just abandoned. SPCA stands for the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. They help animals and that is the thing I love about them. Did you know that they save 40,000 animals every year. They are really cool and something even cooler is that they don't get paid for what they do because it is a charity. SPCA also relocate animals that aren't being treated right. They call it Shelter, rehome, Reunite. They are fantastic and they relies on us to help because they don't get government support in money so when you donate you are saving the lifes of animals.
SPCA are just great people who save many animals so please donate to them!!

I hope you liked my first blog post I will do my second one tomorrow stay looking. I will post 3 activities everyday. Feel free to comment down below!!!

Choir

APPA Choir

Hey bloggers today I will be blogging about Choir. We did Choir on the 26th of November. We had our Choir in the city at the town hall. Miss Mcgrath was our Choir trainer and the assistant conductor for Mr Jonathan Lambert also guest conductor Ms Mountcstle. We had to put a lot of commitment into this and we had to make sure we showed up to all the rehearsals. It was hard and fun at the same time. The hard bit was getting to school early and making sure you had everything, the fun bit was that we always sang songs and laugh all the time.
On the night we first sang Dona Nobis Pacem which it literally means Peace. The rest of the songs were good but my favourite one is The Eye Of the Tiger. The best thing about choir is even though the rehearsals are long and sometimes boring I get to sing with my friends and Ayva who is very funny. When we were singing on the night a kapa haka group came on it was so cool to see their pis and sticks. I had such a good time and I am glad that I joined. I would do it again anytime.

Thank you bloggers for reading my blog!!

Athletic's Day

Athletics ♡
On the 17th of November we had Athletic's day. Our whole school had been preparing for weeks. We had 12 events that we did through out the day. They were Shotput/Discuss, Fun throws, Sprints, Long jump, High Jump and more. My group was the 10/11 year old girls. 

Our first events were Shotput/Discuss but we didn't have time for Discuss. We had fun and we all went really far. Miss Butler was running the Shotput. Then we went to Louise for fun throws. At fun throws there are different things to throw. My favourite was the rainbow one because it is very easy to throw and it goes far. I loved all the other events but my favourite was sprints. I found it very easy. I very liked the House rely's. Kea kept on winning but in the end Tui my team came 2nd. I had so much fun through the day and I can't wait for next year and zones.

Vector Epro 8

That was tough!💪

Talofa Bloggers! Yesterday on the 7th of November we went to participated in the Vector Epro 8 semi-finals heat. We had been practicing a lot for this day. Twelve teams had made it through to the semi-final and we were one of them. Once we got there we had to choose a song for our button. It took us a while but in the end we quickly put our team name next to Pink Fluffy Unicorns Dancing on rainbows. Miss Daly HATED it. Miss Daly is our teacher that takes us and trains us. It was time all the other teams were there. 5, 4, 3 2, 1 GO! Everyone went to their station and chose their challenge. There was a juice maker and with this task you had to pour it and more. Apple picking you had to make a tool that could pick the highest apple on the tree and the last on was a conveyor belt. You had to make a banana move on a conveyor belt.Our team first chose the Orange Juice Challenge but it was to hard and the instruction didn't seem clear. We changed after 20 minutes we were BEHIND! Then we chose the Conveyor belt it was very hard. We went well and just had to fix a few things. The worst thing that happened was when our gears got caught and it wouldn't move. Also when Andrew our host came and checked our work then broke our motor. At the end we had to do apple picking and put our assignment aside. We didn't get to do it in time. I think we did very well and that we can try again next year. We came 6th out of 12 groups. Last year they also came 6th. I had a wonderful time and my favourite part was trying to get the lasers in line. I had a fun time and hope I can do it again!

I hope you enjoyed my blog post!

Futsal

Futsal! 😛😉

Kia Ora bloggers! Today I will be blogging about Futsal. For the past three weeks we have been doing Futsal for our kiwi sport at school. My class does it every Wednesday after lunch. Our coach is Kingsly and the other one is Coach Leon. We are doing futsal for the rest of the term. The first lesson we did Kingsly taught us how to dribble the ball and to juggle. We juggled with our knees and our feet. Then we played numbers, it is a simple and fun game to help with Futsal. Kingsly gave us a number and when he called it you run up and verse the other team the has the same number as you. Th next lesson was fun we dribbled as a warm up and then we played head and catch with kingsly it was so fun Nikhil and Jia won so they versed in the final. Jia won.The last one we had this week was we dribbled and played a game called shark attack. Shark attack is where 4 people where a bib and they have to try stand on the other peoples ball. We played for a while then we had to go. I love Futsal and it is so fun.
