Winter Learning Journey

For this winter learning journey activity, I have to watch three videos of the All Blacks doing the haka and rate them from 1 (The best) to 3 (The worst).

Winter Learning Journey

For this winter learning journey activity, I have to read about the Matariki Festival at Te Papa and choose three events to write about. These are the three events I picked:
1. Matariki Dawn: Special opening weekend at space place
2. Lantern making with artist Yvonne de Mille
3. Guided tour through the great war exhibition

Winter Learning Journey

For this winter learning journey activity I have to imagine I was one of the people on the first waka that landed at a place called Shag Point. I have to write a poem about how I would feel. I decided to write a acrostic poem.

Scared
Hearty
Alarmed
Great

Possibly threatening
Observant
Interested
Nervous
Tense

Summer Learning Journey

For this summer learning journey activity, I have to translate five phrases into Spanish, German, Malaysian, Japanese, Arabic or Afrikaans. I chose to translate it from English to Spanish. I used google translate to translate these phrases.

Good morning - Buenos días
Good bye - Adiós
How much does this cost? - ¿Cuánto cuesta este?
When is the next bus? - ¿Cuándo pasa el próximo autobús?
Where is the nearest hospital? - ¿Dónde está el hospital más cercano?

Summer Learning Journey

For this activity I had to take a selfie showing how I felt if I was in a foreign place with people who did speak my language. I would feel scared so I took a picture of me trying to act scared. 

Summer Learning Journey

For this summer learning journey activity, I have to write about how I would feel if I was in a foreign country and I had to communicate with people in a brand new language. I would feel very nervous and scared, as I will probably be surrounded by people who speak a different language. Here is my poem that I made about it:

Everywhere I look
There are people who look like crooks
Random strangers who I don't know
Dressed in a suit and bow
Fear
Enough to scare I bear

(I know it's pretty bad but I tried)

Winter Learning Journey

For this winter learning journey I had to finish off the end of a story. The story so far is this: Imagine that you are sitting in the crowd at the opening ceremonies for the Rio Olympics this August. The ceremony has just started and all of the Olympic athletes are parading around the stadium in their uniforms when all of a sudden...

My part of the story: BOOM! A loud explosion shook the stadium. The people who were inside that stadium were frozen in shock. They didn't know what happened. Then, the realization came and with it, came the panic. Many people fell over each other in the rush to escape the fateful stadium. Security ran all over the place trying to restore order. It was a terrorist attack. Luckily there were no casualties but 76 people were injured.   

Winter Learning Journey

For this winter learning journey I had to pretend that I was invited to be in the committee that decided which people from New Zealand should go to the Olympic opening ceremony. I had to chose out of these people: Richie McCaw, Lorde, Kane Williamson, Maria Tutaia, John Key or Shaun Johnson. I would chose Kane Williamson because I like cricket (Which is what he plays). 

Winter Journey Learning

For this winter learning journey activity I had to chose which uniform was better out of the 2012, 2008 and 2004 Olympics. I think that the 2012 was the best, because it was the latest ones. Then the 2008 uniforms because it had a detailed silver fern. I think that the 2004 uniform are the worst because even though they have a silver fern, it is not detailed much.
