Last week friday we had the Summer Learning Journey cluster come to Panmure Bridge School to give out certificates and prizes to everyone who took part of the Summer Learning Journey from 2019 to 2020 over the summer holidays. First we had them come up and said thank you to everyone who participated in the Summer Learning Journey, and then showed us a video from 5 or 4 years ago. After that they came with the certificates and said everyone's names and went up and stood on the stage, then took pictures and then they called up the top 20 or 10 people who won there prizes. And then said the people that came first, second and third. And then everyone got to sit down while we finished off assembly.

The people from the SLJ we proud because our school Panmure Bridge School has won 5 years in a row and that everyone was so happy about it. Then Mr Johnson was talking about how we did a good job and that nearly the school school got prizes or certificates for participating in this holiday activity.

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. I did this activity by watching the videos that were given and write down 3 facts about the two videos that I have been watching and learning new information that I didn't. 

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.

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

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 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.

Cactus

This week for a different task for the summer learning journey. We had to solve how much water that the cactus drink 3ml a day and we had to solve the answer for the problem. So I searched up the answer on google for 3ml and I times it by 3 and I think the answer it 900ml a year for cactus drinking water every year. What I did was searched up how many days in a year and it told me how much it was then I multiply a number and it was 300 times 3 and I got the answer 900 and I think the answer is 900ml or it can be a different answer but atleast I tryed to figure out the answer. I learnt how to make a screenshot of the cactus image and then solve the problem of 3ml water they drink every year and day.

Forest Life

This week I did that last task and the last task was if I wanted to visit the Tane Mahuta in Northland and we had to write down if we wanted to go visit there or not and we had to explain that. Why I don't wanna go there is that it's far away and its at North land at the Waipouna forest in Northland that's why I don't wanna go that far just to visit the tree but one day I might. Why I wanna go there beacsue it sounds intereasting and that it looks so cool and that I wanna go there but its just a bit too far to drive to Northland or go on a plane just to visit that tree, also to me it looks very important to New Zealand and that everyone wants to visit it but they can't because its far away. After I did that I had to do a blog post about the Tane Mahuta. I learnt how to make a blog post about the Tane Mahuta in Northland and explain why I wanna go there and why I don't wanna go there.

Later On I had to put it on my blogger and make a blog post about it, and why they look so nice also it was a word that had fern in it and the images I got was black ferns, white ferns, and the football ferns, those are the images I got that had the word fern in it.
