Today for the summer learning journey day 2 week 2 activity 3 "I Have a Dream"

What did Rosa face that day on the bus?

That day on the bus the bus driver was being racist and telling her that she has to move so a white person could have her seat. Rosa Parks said "NAH" and refused to give her seat to them. Then she was arrested and charged with  "Refusing to obey orders of a bus driver" after that black people refused to go on buses for many months. In November 1956 the supreme court ruled that segregation on public buses was against the law so that meant that black people could sit in any seat they wanted.

Today for the summer learning journey day 1 week 2 activity 3 "Dear Jacinda".

Dear Jacinda,

I'm writing to you because I think that we should do and extra hour and a half every day at school.  So we only have to go to school  4 days a week Monday-Thursday because some of us have a lot of sports on in the weekend, so on Friday we can have a relaxing day before we do our sports. I think a lot of kids would prefer this way because it is a three day weekend and that would be awesome.

From Harrison

Summer learning journey

Summer learning journey

Today for the Summer learning journey I'm doing activity 2 swimming to safety.

Yusra was a member of the first-ever refugee Olympic team in Rio in 2016 for swimming. A year before this she fled the Syrian war she left Greece in an overcrowded boat. In the middle of the sea, the boat's engine failed so Yusra jumped into the sea and swam for 3 and a half hours in open water to stop the boat capsizing. Because of this, it saved the lives of 20 people. She has received lots of rewards. Next year she is going to be in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and I want to watch one of her swimming races.

I hope you enjoyed. By Harrison

Day 4: Individual pursuits

I watched the video on Venus Williams here are three things I learned on the video

1: By the age of ten she was able to hit the ball 100mph.

2: Venus won Wimbledon, the U.S Open and a gold medal in the Olympics in the year 2000.

3: She bet her sister in 2008 Wimbledon.

And one thing that I would still like to know is if she is still playing professional tennis.

Today for the Summer learning journey I'm doing activity 3 achieving our dreams. My dream job is to be a professional rugby player, I only want to be a professional rugby player because my mum's grandad played for all blacks in 1955-1958. My mum's grandad could help me achieve this dream by giving me tips on how to tackle and how to do really quick plays.

This is an image of him this image is from the west coast recollect.

 

Summer learning journey

Today for the Summer learning journey I'm doing defying the odds this activity is about basketball players, the players that it said are LeBron James or Steven Adams the person that I'm going to pretend I'm interviewing is Steven Adams because he comes from Rotorua, New Zealand.

He plays for the Oklahoma City Thunder, he is 26 years old and his birthday is on the 20th of July 1993. If I was interviewing him the three questions that I would ask are.

1:  What his best shot is? for example (a three, a layup or a dunk)

2: What is the hardest team you have played?

3: Did you ever think you would be a professional basketball player for a career when you were a little boy?

Summer learning journey activity 3

Today for the summer learning journey it is about what a certain charity is.

The charity that I'm going to write about is Ronald Mcdonald House south island, I have visited Ronald Mcdonald house to see one of my friends that is staying there while he is having his treatment in Christchurch hospital.

Ronald Mcdonald house is where children and their families can stay for free when they need health care in Christchurch. They also provide food for people that are staying there and help make it a little bit easier on them. There is also a lot of fun stuff to do there like outside there is a trampoline, a basketball hoop, a playground and heaps of bikes and inside there is the lounge, the teenage room, and a computer room.

It is a really good charity to donate to if you can.

Summer learning journey week 1

This week for the summer learning journey we are pretending that we are on a boat for three weeks and you have to bring 10 food items but they have to be something that doesn't go in a fridge or freezer.

1. I would have fruit like pineapple pears apple and strawberries: etc 

2. I would bring a lot of water because we are on the boat for three weeks and you are meant to have 8 cups of water a day and if you don't have water you would die.

3. I would bring lots of protein bars so I have heaps of energy.

4. I would bring lots of chips so I don't get hungry and so I have something yummy to eat.

5. I would bring lots of nuts and peanuts because there healthy.

6. I would also bring oats because they are everyday food.

7. I would bring some cake so I have something yum to eat on the boat.

8. I would also bring some more fruit so we can eat healthily and make fruit kebabs.

9. I would definitely bring a sandwich so I'm really healthy.

10. the last thing I would bring is cookies because they are really yum.

Food for thought

Today and yesterday in Ngahere we did Food for thought Yesterday I only got to do one lesson because I had to go home with a swollen eye so when I came to school today it was all better and Today we got to go to New World (the supermarket) we went there to learn how to read healthy and unhealthy food labels with Brittany the lady that was helping our class. everyday food is when the fat total is less than 10 grams unless it has fruit in it then it can be 20 grams Dietary fiber has to be more than 5 grams and salt has to be less than 400 milligrams. My group for in the car I was with my mum and Taj, Harlem and kohen when we got to new world my group was Yazmin, Meka, Luke and Kalani, and our adult was Yazmin's mum Kylie. I enjoyed going to New world because we got a lunch box and learned how to read nutrition labels. By Harrison

Lorde

Today in Ngahere we did a summer learning journey post from the teaser week today we did a famous new Zealand singer Lorde.

The most challenging part was finding pictures labeled for reuse because some were bad quality.

The easiest part for me was writing her whole name because it was really long and to spell it because it was really hard to remember.

Next time I think I should write more information. the only reason I couldn't write more information is because we ran out of time.

Choose your own adventure story planner

 This week and last week in Ngahere we did our choose your own adventure story planner. The most challenging part for me was linking the slides together. the easiest part for me was writing the story and making it make sense. By Harrison

Puha making

This week in Ngahere we made puha for our Christmas float. We tried to copy Dick Frizzell's art above is a picture of Quaid's, Jari's and mine. The most challenging part for me was cutting it out with a craft knife because I've only ever used a craft knife once or twice at home but not for art so it was very challenging. we made eight puha and next week we are starting to make seven eels because that's the other thing that my class is making. For our song for our float, it is the song called a pukeko in a ponga tree. The easiest part for me was drawing the puha and painting the puha because I've done drawing and painting a lot before at home and school. By Harrison

WALT summarise

WALT summarise. Today in reading kauri we summarised the book or story called  THE FORCE.

The easiest part for me was writing the most important parts of the story and reading it. The hardest part for me was finding the most important parts because there were 6 pages in the book but there were only 4 most important parts to the story. By Harrison

Blog Analysis

Today in Ngahere we did a blog analysis it took about 20 minutes it was pretty easy the most challenging part for me was getting the data from my blog and getting the chart to the right setting. Next time I could make so the writing isn't blurry.  By Harrison 

Dick Frizzell art

Today in Ngahere we did Dick Frizzell art above is my copy of the 4 square man. WALT use Dick Frizzell's art because our school's Christmas parade float is a pukeko in a ponga tree. I enjoyed doing this because I like doing art I used pastels on the face and t-shirt and my background is dye some people used paint to do there's. I found it challenging to colour inside the lines because the pastels were very thick and that made it ten times harder. By Harrison

Number of the week

 Today I did my number of the week. I enjoyed doing this so you get better at thinking fast when you do maths and other stuff like reading. The most challenging part for me was adding all the digits together. By Harrison

WALT add and subtract decimals

 Today in Ngahere the rectangles and triangles did decimals. I enjoyed working out the questions because they were hard. It was challenging to do the last but I worked with my friends and we got it correct. By Harrison

I hope you enjoyed!!

Adventure story brain storming

Today in Ngahere we are checking what makes a great adventure story because we are going to make our own adventure stories. I enjoyed writing lots of ideas it was really good because we were in a group so it wasn't just your ideas. The bit that was challenging for me was to think of ideas that somebody in your group hasn't or already written. By Harrison 

My family

 Today ngahere made a slide show that has your parent's grandparents and your own name all in Maori. I found it challenging to put the little video on the slide. I enjoyed making the video because you had to pronounce the words before you did the video. By Harrison

Number of the week

 WALT do a number of the week so we know how to multiply by 10 and other stuff that is in the slide. I enjoyed doing this because we had to use money with the money we had to add up to our number 623. this week it was challenging for me to add up all the digits because it was a big number. By Harrison

He aha tenei

WALT ask what is this? in te reo Maori. Today we had to find the Maori word for an object and put it in a sentence. We had to describe it. I enjoyed doing this because we had to think of something and write it in Maori and English. It was tricky to think of an object to do.
By Harrison

Summarising

WALT summarise
so what we did was we all wrote 8 things about ourselves then we stood behind our desk and miss farr called out a number like six and you would write on thing on the person's Chromebook that we went to.
It was challenging because you had to think about that person and you had to read what they wrote and then you had to think of something to add. I enjoyed it because you had to think about yourself. By Harrison

Onomatopoeia

WALT write poems with Onomatopoeia 

Water drips from the tap,
birds cheep from the sky,
leaves rustle all around,
water flowing fast everywhere.

Today Ngahere were practicing onomatopoeia. Onomatopoeia is the use of a word that sounds like what they are describing we all had to make our own poem above is my poem.
It was challenging to think about what I should write about because I've nether tried to write a poem.
I enjoyed writing it because I like reading poems but ive nether written one.

Hope you enjoyed

The great pacific garbage patch

The great pacific garbage patch




The great pacific garbage patch (GPGP) is between Hawaii and mainland Colifornia the gpgp has been around since the 1950s but it was found in 1993. It’s 3x the size of France.




Each person in the world has probably put 250 pieces of debris in the Gpgp right now!. We only know were 1% of the waste is in the ocean. We don’t know how long plastic will last in the ocean.




About 70% of the ocean litter is plastic. They found a plastic crate from about 1977 imagine how long thats been in there for. That's longer than I’ve been alive. It would weigh up to 80,000 tones thats really heavy.  Today we did research on the great pacific garbage patch.
