Activity 3: The Columbian Exchange

For the last activity for day 3 of the Summer Learning Journey teaser week activities, we had look at someone who has a significant impact on our life, which is positive. I chose to talk about my Mother because she has changed my life, for better. I've grew up being resilient, discipline, and respectful because of the life lessons she has taught me. She helps me do better everyday, and takes care of me.

Activity 2: When the Rubber Hits the Road

For this activity of the Summer Learning Journey teaser week, we looked at a girl named Marina. She didn't attend school until the age of 16 and she was the first person in her family to earn a degree in university as well. Taking from this, we had to interview 3 people what their proudest accomplishment was. I asked 5 people, which were Florence, Aung Naing, Nyjah, Fui, and Chavda. My biggest Achievement personally was earning my first C.A.R.E Award badge, which was Silver Respect. It meant alot getting my first badge, because I put a lot of effort into the activities and I was proud because I knew I deserved it.

Activity 1: The Rainman of Rajasthan

This was the first teaser week activity for day 3 of the Summer Learning Journey. For this, we worked in small groups and looked at The Water Project. We watched a video, and read the site. We explain what the goal is, what the problem was, and what the organisation has achieved. Then each group presented their DLO's.

Activity 3: The Greatest of All Time

This was the last activity for day 2 of the Summer Learning Journey teaser week. For this, we had to create a Pros and Cons list of being the best chess player in the world. An example of this person is Garry Kasparov who is said to be the best Chess Player in the world. 

Activity 2: Equal Pay for Equal Work?

The black Ferns have only recently become 'professional' rugby players who are paid to play rugby. Although they are paid, the Black Ferns make less than members of the men's professional rugby team - the All Blacks. This difference in pay is often called 'gender pay gap' and it is not uncommon in sports. My thoughts on this are very biased. I don't think it's fair female Rugby players are payed less, because they are different genders but play the same sport. They should be paid equally because they're doing the same things.

For this Summer Learning Journey teaser week activity, we had to give our thoughts and opinions on the situation of equal pay with the Womens and Mens rugby teams in New Zealand. I explain what's going on in the description, and my point of view.

Activity 1: Faster than a speeding bullet

Shelly-anne is as fast as bullet.

Shelly-anne is as tall as the neck of a giraffe.

Shelly-anne is as slim as a belt.

Shelly-anne is beautiful like a model.

For this next Summer Learning Journey teaser week activity we had to complete these four similes about Shelly-anne Fraser-pryce who is an athlete (sprinter). I created my own version of some of the starters, and thought creatively to make them my own.

Activity 3: Big Friendly Giants

This was the third Summer Learning Journey teaser week activity for day 1. We had to listen to a reading of a short clip of the BFG. Then we created a descriptive paragraph describing the big friendly giant and creating a picture of him.

Activity 2: Exploring Our Roots

This was the second Summer Learning Journey activity for the teaser week. For this activity we had to create a Pepeha in Maori, of our background. We looked at an example of a what was expected, and had to make ours more interesting. I decided to make it personal, by adding a background of the sky tower and Tongan patterns as the frame.

Activity 1: New Zealand Royalty

                                

This was the first activity of the Summer Learning Journey for the teaser week. We created a profile page about Lorde, a popular female artists from New Zealand. I've included a biography, description, and fact page about her. The most interesting thing that I found out during this activity, was how she started professionally singing at such a young age. For this Summer Learning Journey, the prize for first place is a Nintendo switch. The programmer is officially starting on the 16th of December, and going on for six weeks.
