Summer Learning Journey: Day 3: Activity 1

It wouldn't really be hard to describe how I feel about having  big family because I already have a huge family. I would mostly feel like I have plenty of people to play with and talk to when i'm bored.  But it would probably be hard getting some alone time to read a book (if my family was all living together).

Summer learning journey: Day two: Bonus blog post

Since I love all food i can't choose just one so here are my to three favourite meals

1. Lasagne. This dish is at the top of the list because I love the way the melted cheese comes off the pasta and the way the mince is perfectly cooked with the peas and carrot. I cannot get enough of the way the top layer of pasta is so crunchy.

2. Pizza. Who doesn't love pizza? This dish is delicious and super fun and easy to make My fathers pizza's are my favourite dish to make and they have such good combinations. Theres not much more to say now.

3. Butter Chicken. My favourite Indian dish would have to be creamy butter chicken. I love the orange colour it gives off and the way it just inflames my taste buds with an explosion of flavour. I love the way the the chicken is perfectly cooked.

The main reason I love these three dishes more than anything is because I have never ever ever had a bad lasagne pizza or butter chicken.

Summer learning journey: Week 1: Activity 1

The summer learning journey gave me a link to a story about a boy called Maui who goes on a fishing trip with his brothers and fishes out the north island of New Zealand. The Summer learning journey told me to find three facts about Maui. This is what I found out.

1. Maui is a very determined boy: He is willing to do anything to prove that he can be as good as his brothers at the least he would even make his nose bleed

2. Maui Can get really angry: In the story his brothers anger him by telling him that they will not let him fish with them because he is too small but they were probably stopping him from fishing with them because he hasn't had any experience and he was younger.

3. Maui was probably often stressed: Because he probably lived in the shadows of his older brothers meaning he was probably always trying to live up to the peoples expectations that he could be as good and maybe even better than his brothers so it was probably stressful when people were comparing him to his older brothers

Where I Would take a Visitor from Another Country

If I were to take a visitor from another country to popular places in New Zealand I would take Him/Her to the sky tower in auckland to the lighthouse in Cape reinga and to the southern alps in the south island. Why? Because i find those some of the most famous landmarks in New Zealand

Where i Would Like to Go

In mexico the landmark I would want to go to is the Grutas de las Canicas cave because I would want to see the pearls and sometimes natural things can look better than manmade things it is true. Plus I like to go inside caves.

The National Day of Mexico

How I Would Feel

If i was living one hundred years ago and had to leave school at the age of 12 i would not like it and i would feel pretty confused.

My Art Opinion

I don't really like the art called swinging because the picture is confusing. If i could buy it i would give it to my Nana and pook (Pook is the nickname of my step grandad) because they like to have confusing pictures.

I would like to be Prime minister

When I grow up I want to be the prime minister because i could do so many things to improve the country I could stop pollution. Make moving around the city much more fun (riding around on horses) and take the salaries of people who work hard and don’t get enough money to get enough money.

Hilary Clinton

After serving as a congressional legal counsel, Hilary Clinton moved to Arkansas and married Bill Clinton in 1975. As First Lady of the United States, Clinton fought for gender equality and health care reform. Running for president in 2008, she won far more delegates than any previous female candidate, but lost the Democratic nomination to Barack Obama.

My Womad Decisions

One band i would bring to Womad is Devilskin which is a rock band from New Zealand Hamilton the Woman singing it is really good and talented. The second rock band i would put in is Shinedown from America Jacksonville Florida My favourite song from Shinedown is Cut The Cord which is a very good song.

My music Opinion

For my opinion on the music here are my results.

1. Sorry : 2
2. Love yourself : 1
3. Baby : 3

A Popular TV Show

I chose the Moe show because it is a classic NZ show and it is being watched by lots of Kids around New Zealand. In the clip Moe is exploring the supermarket.

My Favourite Television Show

My favourite television show is Kickin it. It is about these teenage Karate kids that face some pretty weird problems. It is quite funny.

My Sport Opinion

I think that Netball is the best sport it has a combination of running Jumping bouncing and lots of arm movement. It is a great way to make new friends and work on skills together. You can improve your footwork and it can make you warm up on cold rainy days. Netball puts me in a very good mood and that is why I like Netball.

My Sports Hero

Valerie adams would have to be my sports hero because she has gotten many medals and has represented our country very well she is very  strong and is the first woman to get four consecutive and individual titles at the world track and field championships

My sport I Chose

This is me playing some rugby. I chose rugby because I play it a lot with my brothers and i consider it fun.

The Mexican TV Channel

Here is a link to the Mexican video. I liked it because it was quite funny. But it was in Mexican so I couldn’t understand it. I think I will give Maria Belen four stars ****.

New Zealand Food

This is me eating a delicious hokey pokey ice cream
