Day 3: Team Player
This is the third day, and the first week of the Summer Learning Journey. I'm so excited to go an amazing journey once again. I did struggle a bit yesterday but let's hope we do better today. Today is mainly focusing on sports and physical activities.

So Far this week we have learnt about a Polynesian voyage, exploring and looking into our diversities and backgrounds and giving to charities and people that need it. We have also learnt about persevering and chasing our dreams and to never give up. Yesterday we learnt about 3 brave people Amelia Earhart, Jean Batten and Neil Armstrong. But let's get on with today!
For this task we were asked to imagine what we'd do if we were a superhero. What are three superpowers we'd have and what we'd use them for?
Jonah Lomu is a Rugby Superstar and is considered a real life superhero. He's strong tall and fast. He was also one of the youngest All blacks player, he started at age 19. Jonah grew up in a Tongan family in the South-Auckland Mangere. He played touch and league in school but changed to union in order to rise to fame.
Another real life superhero is Riche McCaw a famous and my favorite rugby player. He was the captain of the All Blacks 2004-2015. He led the All Blacks to many great victories and gave us all something to celebrate. He was, hard working and served the team well. He was a real team player!
If I were a superhero I would want strength, both physically and physiologically. I would want to be able to come up with ideas and have the strength to make them become a reality. If I needed to burst a pipe deep underground, to stop a fire in the building. I would have the strength to do so.

Lastily I would like to have a ability to change my pace, so when needed I can be super fast at any task anywhere, or I can be super slow. I don't see how we'd ever need to be slow, except when being patient. But being fast can have it's perks I could catch bad guys, and stop things from happening just before they're about to happen. I'll also be able to get more task done in a small time frame.

That brings us to an end, of today's summer learning journey activities. I did enjoy these tasks and found them a lot easier to do. However, I did have to put in a lot of thought and still worked hard. Overall can't wait to do more!
