Today for the Summer learning journey activity 3 wise words.
I got these words of wisdom from my nana
" Always treat people the same way you want to be treated"
This means be nice to people and they will probably be nice to you.

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.
I hope you enjoyed

Q How many years until I'm 25 years old?
A 16
25-9=16

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
