Summer Learning Journey: Day 1 Activity 2

Today I did my 2nd Activity for Day 1 and this is about sailing. Leaving your home and crossing a thousand miles in a Waka getting to New Zealand. We also had to send a short letter to a friend of what we feel while crossing a thousand miles.

Dear Friend, we have finally landed on New Zealand, throughout that whole journey it was rough. Comparing to our homeland they are already starting winter. There are also some people who are here as well. I'll admit....... it is kinda rough and uncomfortable here. People have been camping and hunting here. PS: there a bird with a long beak and no tail without wings. Weird am I right. 

Bye.

Summer Learning Journey: Day 1 Activity 1

Today I did the first activity for the Summer Learning Journey, our activity was to read a story (Maui and the Giant Fish) and had to find some interesting facts, then write it down and blog it.

1. The Giant fish came from their Grandmother that said it would be gifted to them.
2. Maui's brothers are really selfish.
3. Maui's brother also wouldn't let Maui go fishing with them.

Summer Learning Journey: Day 1 Bonus Activity

Today I am doing a Bonus activity. I had to blog if I ever wanted to participate in Waka Ama one day, Why/why not.
I would definitely do it so I could experience what it is like to be in the race, and also because I want to be fit. To my thought I think it is really intense. Is it fun? Is it tiring?

This week was the final session for the year. It was really sad because badminton was so fun. But the beginning was "I am so bad!", but now I am like "I am so good!". So for the last session we played a warm up game and that game was Octopus. Me and Charlize were the taggers. We nearly got everyone out except Karlos and Matthew. After that Kevin (Kiwi Sport Teacher) showed us a cool trick. I barely do it. I only did it twice IN A ROW but no one SAW! After that we played One v One/1 v 1 if you lose one point you are out, but if it hits the ceiling or roof, replay, if twice that means you are out. Next we did Two v Two/2 v 2 if you lose two points you are out. When we did that for a few minutes it was unfortunately the time to go back to class. Before we went we said "Thank you Kevin!", and gave him a applause.

Remake the Night Before Christmas

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house, you could not hear a sound, not even a mouse.

We put something on the floor to hear someone's footsteps, before that we had everything prepped.
We were excited and were shot up with glee, we wanted to see.
We wanted to see that fat jolly man, we tried everytime we can.  

The children were tight and nestled in their beds, while dreaming of the beaches around their head.
While mom sleeps in peace I didn’t want to take a nap, but had to stop and think and went for a good summer nap.

There was a creak and something was swinging.
I saw a swinging window, I went and threw the pillow.
It was my little sister messing around with her blister.
She tripped and accidentally opened the window

If you thought that was going to be Santa, well guess what he is a Fairytale, you are probably crying and looking pale.
If you don’t believe me those presents under the trees, are from your parents.
Sorry that I ruined your childhood.

“Happy Christsmas to you all, and have a good night!”.

Next game was we had to get in a circle and a person from the other team had to go into each others team and had a cone to guard.

Today I did one of my Daily 6 and it was Keyborading Drills. It is really hard to type fast cause some times you make mistakes. 

Kiwi Can

LI: to learn how to respect each other no matter what
This week I went to Kiwi Can with Group A and we got into groups. I was in Group 2. The first thing we did was talk about what was the Topic? What is Respect? How do you Respect? Also why do we Respect each other?
Then we went to do a energizer is Greetings. When we would do the greeting we would have to do a action.
The first greeting was Hello, when we would say hello we would shake hands. When we would say Bula, we would have a big smile. When we would say Namaste, we would bow down.
Next was a game that we would have a object and turn it into something else. Like for example a mini Beanbag could be a waffle the square ones. We only had two equipment for this one, so it was the beanbag and a soccer ball. We all really opened our imaginations. Then we had a elimination game. I LOVE elimination games. They are so intense, your really focusing on trying not to get out. So we had to be in partners and form a circle in the inside and one on the outside. Miss Latoya would say "Buddy Up!" and we would have to switch places. If Miss Latoya shouted out "Buddy Down!" we would have to get down. If Miss Latoya said "Buddy Right!" the person on the outside circle would have to run around the circle and go back to their spot. Last Person is eliminated #him or her and their partner. If Miss Latoya said "Buddy Left!" the person one the outside would have to run to the left and go back to their spots. Last person is eliminated him or her and their partner. Unfortunately that was all the time we had so we had to go to Morning Break.

Then after we finished we would swap and then Mr Wong showed us how to make a data of it. We had a heap of choices but we wanted to pick the Pie Data.

Kiwisport

LI: to learn how to play badminton
Today I went to Badminton with Group A.  Then first thing we did was play a warm up game with Kevin (who is our Kiwisport Teacher). Our warm up game was Octopus. The rules of Octopus is:
Get a group of people that are more than two.
Pick a person that is the tagger. (If you have a lot of people maybe you should have two or three taggers)
Start game
The taggers have to pick a category for example: Whoever has blue on their clothing or the Taggers shout out "OCTOPUS!". That means everyone has to try to get past them.
After that we got taught a skill from Kevin called "The Forehand Lift". It is a skill to beat your opponent. While the opponent serves you hit the shuttle at the far back of their side so they can't reach. It is kinda like the Fore hand serve instead of you dropping it, it comes to you.
Then we went with pairs/partners/buddies to practice the Forehand Lift. The partner would be underarm throwing the shuttle at you and you do the Forehand Lift to try to not let them catch.
After that we did a one on one rally with each other. I got really excited to do this by myself. Luckily I bated a couple of people , but still unfortunately lost a few games.

Firefighter Visit

LI: to learn about firefighters
This week Tuesday I went to the Fire station at Panmure in Pilkington St for a trip with Learning Space One. We first had to walk to the Fire Station and it took 15 minutes to get there. It was a really exciting time going there as well. The first thing was that the Firefighters introduced themselves. First thing that we did was asking questions about what they do on a daily or regular basis as a Firefighter. I asked them how long  have each of them done the job? They answered "I have been doing this for ten years/decade, he has for thirteen years, he has done it for twenty years/two decades, and he did it for twenty eight years." I was really shocked of how much each of them done the job for so long.

Next we went outside to talk about the Fire Truck, uniform, hoses and more questions. He told us first about the uniform he and the other Firefighters wear when they go to a fire. After that they showed us bits and pieces and things about the truck, we also asked more questions talking about the truck. Following on he showed us three different hoses. There was a small hose that sprayed out a little bit of water but with a lot of momentum, force, and pressure. Next was a hose that was big hose that shot out a huge pile of water but with little pressure. Later on he showed us another hose that was like a machine gun. He also sprayed some water on us. I was so glad because I was so burning hot, I was sweating. Then we thanked them for letting us join them and went back to school.
