Throughout this week, we are going to be learning about, how people changed the world through sport and exploration. These people are both inspirational and influential and have some amazing lessons too teach. I'm very excited, let's start!

Activity 1: Setting Sail
Our first task is too make a list of the ten food items I would take on a three week voyage.

This voyage took place way back in the 70's when our ancestors invisioned and built this an amazing canoe says Nainoa Thompson. They aren't here now but, their creation has gone a long way. It's been on many voyages one being the Naoni a three week voyage, at which you will spend at sea. This voyage to 16 years of consideration before it was decided that they will actaully carry out this task.

Almost 3 years ago, Nainoa Thompsan arrived at our very Pt England Reserve. Yes, the one that we go to every year for our annual picnics. The one we had gotten our flounder from, and place we saw the Hikianalia and Hōkūleʻa. I was in year 5 and remember it like it was yesterday. That was a truly amazing day, and it inspired our school so much we named our sports houses after the canoes, Hikianalia Hōkūleʻa, Hine Moana and Te Aurere/


One this voyage if I could take ten food items it would be, pasta, nuts, dried fruits, cows, milk, rice, eggs, canned food, cookies and lollies. some of these items seem quite absurd and crazy, but since im a picky eater, I have to make the most of what I do eat.

I would take pasta as you can make many dishes with it easily, and it won't go bad over a long period of time, in this case three weeks. Nuts and dried frust are also a good idea because of the fact that they are delicous healthy and there's not much work to do in keeping the fresh and good to eat. I would believe it or not take a cow on a voyage. It may take up room but it will give us milk when it's alive and meat later. Rice is a good item to take overseas to as it's dry and easy to transport. Canned food, may not be the healthiest but it's easy to keep edible. Cookies and lollies are probably not a good idea but a snack from time to time is needed.

Activity 2: Discovering Aotearoa
For this task we are asked to, search our family backgrounds and share the varieties of backgrounds we came from, and where your family dates back too.

Most of my family comes from Fiji, may parents are from fiji and so are my grandparents, great grandparents and event here parents. So my family has goes back generations in Fiji, I couldn't orginate where exactly they where from before there cause my family has lived in Fiji for a long time. However me and all my siblings are the first generation to be born overseas. The only reason I was born overseas was because my grandfather had come here as a kid with a reason regarding buisness. This was quite interesting to find out!

Activity 3: Scaling New Heights
In this task we are asked to chose a charity from the 4 options we were given. When then had to read and learn as much as possible about the charity of our choice. 

The charity I chose is the SPCA, a charity that helps rescue and find new homes for animals, that have gone threw some hard times. There are many animals and the money they get from giving aways these animals to good owners is used again to rescue other animals in need.

And that concludes the first day of the summer learning journey. I have already learnt heaps and can't wait to learn a whole lot more, throught a course of the next 6 weeks.

SLJ-Teaser-#Day 1

Today is the first day of the summer learning journey teaser. School isn't out yet, but the time is coming soon. We are lucky enough to be able to participate in this years summer learning journey. This teaser is to give a, small taste of what's it's like to be in the summer learning journey. Enjoy!

Task 1 New Zealand Royalty

Our First task was to create a profile page for the famous popstart Lorde. We included facts about her family, age, occupation ect. I had fun with this task, and learnt heaps about Lorde. I am most fascinated by how her talent was discovered.

I do not own the pictures and most information was found on
This Website.







Task 2 Exploring Our Roots
This task required us to make ourselves a pepeha.

Task 3
Our task was too desribe what we imagine the BFG (Big Friendly Giant) looks, smells, sounds like. In the begging I got stuck with this task but I made it in the end.

The BFG was calmly seated at the table in his homely cave, peacefully working away. The little girl Sofie, sat there with her legs crossed watching as The Big Friendly Giant carefully sorted the dreams. Sofie was fastinated as The BFG attentively, recording something on peice of paper. The old fragile creature, meteculiously labeled each bottle. "What are you doing" asked Sofie in a soft tone "Sorting the good dreams, so we can tell which one we are watching" The BFG replyed in a shaky tone.

Term 4 Reflection (Extension)

This term in extension we are learnt about UV light, and a man called ray even came in to work with us. We made UV sensors and learnt about the ozone layer and some of the effects of climate change.This didn't relate to our school-wide theme for the term but we still learnt heaps.

We did however visit K.P.M.G in week 3. At K.P.M.G  we learnt all about drama. We rewrote Romeo & Juliet in 5 sentences, we put on a play, and did heaps more. As always we all had a lot of fun and it was very educational. I can't wait to visit them again next year, to learn about more.

We made UV Sensor in extension this was all possible because of ray. UV Sensors detect how powerful the uv rays from the sun are. This allow us to be sun smart, and take precautions. Especially for people in place like New Zealand. Where there is no Ozone layer. With the help of Mr Ray, we have successfully made the sensors that detect the ultra-violet rays from the sun. We even took some UV readings.

I think I did well this term, but I definetly have done better. I did however work very hard in term 1 and 2 and got some good marks then too. I did however learn a lot, even though half the stuff we did, I had already done in robotics. I did however have much more fun learning about UV sensors and lights in extension. In future I would like to, maybe make have a D.L.O but this term has been pretty busy with prize giving and picnic and all these trips.
I enjoyed this term and can't wait to come back in 2020!
