Activity 2: What's in a name

If I would have to change my name I will change it to Ava, I picked Ava because its a nice name and I've always wanted that name or something else. 


This is the second activity and its about what you would change your name to, and explain why you would pick that name. I picked the name Ava, but if it changes to something else its a alright name but I like the name Ava better. But this is a good activity to see what people would pick there names too. I kinda enjoyed this and picking a new name is fun. This activity was fun picking a new name if you could pick it. Because mine will be Ava.

Activity 1: Making the racket

This is the first activity for day 4. Its only the first week of doing the summer learning journey activities. This is the activity of women getting less paid and men getting more money and 3 facts about Venus and Serena Williams and what I want to know about tennis and other information.

Commenting

This is a different activity so I decided to comment on 5 people today but on different blog posts. I commented on Angela, Victoria, Florence, Ellenora, and Joel. I commented on their blog, but on different summer learning journey posts that they have done for the past few days of doing the activities. I commented with a greeting, then saying feedback on their posts and telling them what they should also work on for next time if they do it again. These comments were on different summer learning journey activities they have done, but some of them did commenting as well. I did 5 comments on different people and on different activities they have done, and said something good about it.

Activity 3: Achieving our Dreams

This is the last activity for today which was supporting your friends job in six different ways. I did this as well and helping my friend could be a good thing and I will always be there for her and I will always wanna help her when my help for her is needed. My friend Sakina will have her dream job at orthodontist and help people look good and better than before. This was a hard one to think of six ways to help that person and think of friends or someones dream job.

Activity 2: Defying the Odds

This is the second activity of asking players 5 questions that you want to ask them. I picked Lebron James and asked 5 questions that I've been waiting to ask him. Some of the questions were how old are you going to be when you stop playing basketball?, To be an basketball player please tell us some advice?, How many scores have you got through out the basketball seasons you have been playing?, thats some of the questions that I want to ask Lebron James. This is my DLO of asking 5 questions to Lebron James and this is day 3 and activity 2. This was a fun activity to do and asking famous people or sport players 5 questions.

Activity 1: Rugby Superstars

This is day 3 for activity 1 which was rugby stars. This DLO was about three superpowers that you would want and need. I created a DLO about the 3 superpowers that I would want and explaining why I would want that superpower, I got these superpowers cause I wanted to have it and its the 3 superpowers that I have been wanting to have in my life. This activity was hard to think about what superpowers that I want to have, but it was fun creating this and thinking of whatever superpower I want. I enjoyed doing this and explaining why I want these three superpowers.

Activity 3: Miracle on the Hudson

I remember back in term 1 when we had camp and the second activity was the high beam and everyone was kind of scared to do it because it was very high. But I was the third to last person, when I was climbing up I was kinda scary but I was brave to get up there. So I climbed up and went so slow because I was that scared to get up there and come back down really safe, because I was scared to go up and come back down the high beam. But after I come down I wanted to go back up because I was very brave to do it and have lots of fun. 

This is a blog post about someone you know or yourself that was brave to do something that you never wanted to do in your life. This was a hard blog post to do because I had to try and remember everything that I did in term 1 when we went to camp and had lots of fun. The activity that was hard to do was high beam which was hard and it looked really high and I didn't have that brave in me to do it. This was a very good activity to do but it was hard to think about. 

Activity 2: One Small Step For Man

This was the the second activity was to create a poem and image than you are Neil Armstrong. This is a DLO of the poem of me imaging that I was Neil Armstrong and I was on the moon and seeing what it was like. First I created it and did information about Neil Armstrong. This is a poem that I tried to make about me imaging if I was Neil Armstrong walking on the moon and becoming the first one to be doing it. I really had fun doing this activity because it was about being the first one walking on the moon and doing a DLO about this poem. 

Day 2: Activity 1: Flying Solo

Today was another day of doing summer learning journey activities. Today was day 2 of doing other activities, today's activity was about Amelia Earhart and Jane Batten. We needed to make a DLO and compare and contrast the both of them. What they did was fly solo without anyone. Jane Batten was from New Zealand Rotorua and her first solo flight was, England to Australia. Amelia Earhart was an American solo flightier, she saw her first plane at the age of 10 years old. This DLO needed to be about there solo flights to go around the country. Amelia Earhart disappeared in July 2, 1937, and Jean Batten died 22 of November 1982. This was a great DLO to create and learning new facts about Amelia Earhart and Jane Batten.

Activity 3: Scaling New Heights

SPCA - The SPCA help animals and its a place where they do charity where they help animals and owners with money and help if its needed. Also SPCA look after lost animals and animals that don't have owners and looks after it until the owner finds them or just keep them for a new owner. The charity that SPCA do, is give out money if people are needing to help their family or when the money is needed for something, and they also raise money for those who are really wanting money.

This is the last activity of today. This is about people making money and helping people with it. I did SPCA and talked about what they do as there job and being a charity to help people. The SPCA also helps people with their animals or when people are needing money in need. This short story was about people making charity money for others who need it in help. I picked to do the SPCA they look after animals that need help or have no owners and get charity money from them, and they also help the poor people and others that need their help.

Activity 2: Discovering Aotearoa

..................................................................................................................................
This is the second activity about discovering Aotearoa. This activity is about your family background. My family background is Tonga, My mother comes from Ahau and my father comes from Ha'apai in Tonga. I've been to Tonga for a muck around and had my best time there with half my family and some of them in New Zealand. The best food or drink to have is Otai because its just the right drink to have on a sunny day or just drinking when you want to. This DLO needed to be about your background culture and telling us a little bit about it.

She has had a positive life and I've been to where the company is and shes been a good person at where her company is at. 

This Task is based on someone who has had a positive impact of my life. I wrote to explain how my aunty works very hard and makes a lot of money. 

Activity 2: When the Rubber Hits the Road

This activity was about you introducing three students or adults, I did Sakina, Taheesha and Joel, they introduced them on a DLO and said what they are proud of and what they did in the past few weeks of learning and talking in front of teachers. I had fun doing this activity and introducing people and doing it on a DLO. 

Activity 1: Environment & Exploration

This week for day 3, activity 1 of the teaser week of SLJ, we created a DLO about the Water Project. Before that we watched a video about what the Water Project does. The Water Project is a company who supplies water to countries/communities who don't have access to water. After we watched the video, we created the DLO. In our DLO we included the goal of the Water Project, where they work and what they have achieved.

Activity 3: The Greatest Of All Times

Today I did the last activity and it was about pros and cons for the game of chess. This was a activity that needed to be done from the teaser week activities. This was a kinda easy activity to do because your pretty much talking about the pros and cons from the game of chess. This activity is about G.O.A.T, which means greatest of all times. I created this DLO to show pros and cons of what people would say out of pros and cons.

Activity 2: Equal pay for Equal Work

Is it fair? Why or why not? Be sure to explain exactly why you feel the way that you do.

Rugby men gets payed more than women rugby players. Fiao’o Fa’amausili has said that women get payed to the same equal as the men's. But women get payed to play rugby and men get payed more than women and thats why women should get payed the same equal as men. For me I think that men and women should get payed the same because its not fair for this to be happening. And I think no because the men's kinda play more than women's. But I think that both women and men should get payed the same amount of money. And Fiao’o Fa’amausili has been coaching the black ferns for quiet a long time and they haven't been getting payed that much money only men has. 

This is another activity that I got to do for the teaser week. I found out that Fiao’o Fa’amausili coaches for the black ferns and the women hasn't been getting payed a lot of money, but she has been paying the women to play rugby and other sports. It isn't fair that women and men don't get payed the same amount of money. I think that this is bad, but at the same time its good as well because men play more sports than women do. I think that this was a tricky activity to do, but I found out now that men get payed more than women. 

Activity 1: Faster than a speeding bullet

Task: Come up with 4 new Similes that you could create.

Now shes in the Olympics and beat the 100m sprint. Shes now 32 years old and still going on with the Olympics. I picked to do very simple sentences to make it easier to understand. In these sentences I used different parts to describe her in similes. I had fun doing this simple activity we got to do. 

Activity 3: Big Friendly Giants

Today we got another teaser week activity about the bfg. First we needed to watch a short clip of something reading the book of the bfg. After you watched that we needed to draw the big giant and have 10 descriptive words to go with it. So I watched the video and did the drawing of the bfg and kinda tried my best at doing it, but I tried though. I enjoyed and had fun doing this activity because it was using google draw and drawing the bfg using the drawing tools in google draw.

Activity 2: Exploring Our Roots

This afternoon we have been learning about a pepeha and the purpose of doing it. A Pepeha is simillar to a mihi it is a phrase of welcome and identity. My pepeha is about me and my mountain, river, name, country, and etc. I have these in Maori and in English, and have pictures on the side so that it becomes more understanding. I enjoyed doing this activity and learning about what a pepeha means and understanding what it is.

We enjoyed doing this and helping each other do this DLO. 

Leader Script

Why I should be Head girl for 2020

Malo E Lelei, Kia Ora, and greetings to you all. My name is Miiana and I want to become Head Girl for 2020. I think I could be Head Girl because I have shown leadership this year by helping room 5 make their hovercraft and I relate well with both the younger students and my classmates. I also work well in collaborative groups and this is an important part of being a good leader. I show respect to teachers when I speak with them and work well in group situations. I am kind of a shy person when it comes to talking to the whole school, but I see it as a challenge to become more confident and know I can overcome this. This year I have become more confident and have presented in front of my class. I think it is important to demonstrate the CARE values and I am working hard to complete my CARE Awards. Recently I have earned my first badge but I’m still working hard to finish my other activities. As Head Girl I would like to inspire others and represent our school with pride.
Thank You

This is my speech about, why I could become head girl for 2020 leader script. Today was the day that we got to say it in front of Mr Johnson, Mrs Kiripatrick  and the rest of the other year sevens. My speech was about being head girl for 2020, and also their was other roles that we could do which was manaiakalani leader, head boy/girl, and sports leader. I picked a role which was head girl and no matter if I don't get it , there's other roles I could do. But I was hoping I could be a head girl for 2020 but it doesn't really matter, because I could also go for any other roles that are there. I enjoyed reading my speech to Mr Johnson and Mrs Kiripatrick and I wasn't shy to say just stand there. I enjoyed doing this, but I really don't care if I don't have a role.  

Phonics

Today we got another lesson with Mrs Linda for phonics, but we got a different type of lesson today. We needed chunks of sounds and the sound I got was ick and the rest of my group got a different one. Once we got our chunk words, Mrs Linda got us to write words in 2 minutes. We all got our words and put it in alphabetical order and let Mrs Linda check it to see if we got it correct. Later on after a few minutes we used one of our words to make a paragraph.

Market Day Evaluation

On Friday Afternoon, LS2 sold  a range of 99 rainbow crayons, that were molded into different types of shapes. Instead of  just melting a single color of crayons. We melted color crayons that would go well together. We used the digital color wheel to help us find the colours opposite each other. For example, Green and Red. Some of our colored crayons were melted in several colours from black, pink and white. We made different types of crayons, ones that will attract boys and  girls. When it came to market day our whole store sold out leaving us with total cost of $88.00 dollars. So was our Ideas viable, Yes, Because we caught customers attentions which helped us make a profit + We made our price cheap of just $1.00 dollar. Our Net profit was $96.00, the costs were $8.00 minice 96-8 gives us 88. We made an impressive amount of money + instead of just paying cash we exchanged tokens to buy the item.
