Winter Learning Journey

For this winter learning journey activity, I had to write a description about this week (What have I learned, what did I like about the trip, etc).
What I learnt: I have learnt a lot about New Zealand during these past 7 days of activity's. I learnt that there are many different beautiful places all around New Zealand, and they can be kept that way if people put things like their rubbish in the right place.
What I liked: I liked how we visited many different places. Taupo, Karekare beach - the list just goes on and on.  I had a great time going on a amazing kiwi road trip!
What I didn't like: I liked everything!

Winter Learning Journey

For this winter learning journey activity, I have to take a picture of myself doing something that I find relaxing. I find reading really relaxing so I decided to take a picture of myself reading. The book I was reading is called John Paul Jones who was a man who fought in the American navy. 

Winter Learning Journey

For this winter learning journey activity, I am walking around Taupo and I notice there is rubbish in the lake and on the footpath. I have to use my imagination and come up with three things I could do to make my neighborhood more beautiful.
1. If I see rubbish on the floor, I would pick it up
2. Talk to as many people as I can to try and persuade then to not litter
3. Put up a couple of signs saying use bins or don't litter

Summer Learning Journey

For this task, I have to say whether or not I think breakfast is the most important meal of the deal. Numerous researchers believe breakfast is the most important meal of the day but many people disagree. I think breakfast is the most important meal of the day because I can't focus at school if my stomach is growling. 

Summer Learning Journey

For this summer learning journey task, I have to take a picture of myself eating some famous foods that come out of New Zealand (Kiwifruit, lamb, hokey pokey ice cream, pavlova, bacon and egg pie and more). I took a picture of myself eating some kiwifruit.

Summer Learning Journey

For this summer learning journey task, I have to compare what is eaten commonly in the country I have chosen to visit and what I eat here in New Zealand. I usually have weet-bix for breakfast and in Canada, a breakfast that is common is pancakes with maple syrup. I would prefer to have maple syrup and pancakes for breakfast because it sounds (And looks) much more appealing than weet-bix. 

Winter Learning Journey

For this winter learning journey I have to think about what sport I would add to the para Olympics if I could. I would add either wheelchair handball or wheelchair squash because they are great games and I think even people with disabilities could do them. Though I like squash better and I think it would be easier to play than handball. Here is a example of people playing squash: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZY_QWYtZVQI

Sport: Wheelchair squash

How to play: Hit the ball with a racket above the bottom line but below the bottom line. 

Three rules: 

1: You need two people

2: You need a proper squash court

3: You can hit the walls to the side too, but not the one behind you 

Winter Learning Journey

For this winter learning journey I had to list 2 different ways on how I could fun raise money for the para Olympic people to fly to Rio De Janerio. Even though Harvey Norman is helping to raise funds they might still need more. I also hope that my dad is helping the para Olympic people because he works for Harvey Norman. 

Number One: Knock on people's doors and ask them to support the para athletes

Number Two: Ask people who have disabilities but aren't in the Olympic to help the para Olympic people because they might help other people like them 

Winter Learning Journey

For this winter learning journey activity I had to think about who would I like to have with me if I pretended that I would compete in the para-cycling. The para-cycling is for people who have disabilities. One person has a disabilities but the other doesn't. I would probably chose my dad because he is a great bike rider and is really cool.
