Day 2 Week 1:Flying solo - activity 1

Jean Batten and Amelia Earhart were a aviator. Amelia Earhart was born on 24th of July 1897 at United States and also she was the first woman to fly solo from England to New Zealand without stopping. She attempted to fly across the whole world but sadly while flying she disappeared at the pacific ocean. Jean Batten could've been the first woman to fly solo but she was born on 15th of September 1909 in Rotorua which is in New Zealand. She became the best-known New Zealander of the 1930's.

Day 1:Scaling New Heights - Activity 3

Air Rescue is a company that help people when they are hurt, in a car crash, fire and more. How they get to there location is pretty cool. They fly in a helicopter to there destination. They also provide a shared lunch for the community which is very cool.

Day 1 :Discovering Aotearoa - Activity 2

Activity 2: Discovering Aotearoa [4 points]

Many people believe that Kupe was the first explorer to discover Aotearoa,
New Zealand in about 1300. He navigated his way by waka to Aotearoa
from Hawaiki using traditional Polynesian navigation techniques - just like
Nainoa Thompson (from Activity 1) did much later on. Legend says that he
followed a great octopus all the way to Aotearoa/New Zealand and finally
destroyed it in Cook Strait (the water between the North and South Islands).

Many years later, a Dutch explorer from The Netherlands, Abel Tasman,
was exploring the Pacific Ocean when he came across New Zealand. He
thought that he was the first person to ‘discover’ the country (despite the
fact that Māori already lived in New Zealand!) and made the claim in 1642
that he had ‘discovered’ a new land. His exploration of New Zealand inspired
many other European explorers to follow his lead and travel to the Oceania.

Kupe and Abel Tasman were two different men from two very different
backgrounds (cultures) who shared a common interest - exploration.

My family and I come from an island in Tonga named Ha'apai.
In Tonga we do a lot of things and people think we are weird
because we eat Pig, Horse and a lot more.

Life cicle of an mosquito

All mosquito species go through four distinct
stages during their life cycle. Female mosquitoes
lay their eggs on the inner wet walls of the container
with water, Mosquitoes lay eggs 100 at a time.

Larva emerge from mosquito eggs, but only after
the water level rises to cover the eggs.Larvae
feed on microorganisms is the water. After molting
three times, the larva becomes a pupa.

After adult mosquitoes emerge. Male mosquitoes
feed on nectar from flowers and female mosquitoes
feed on humans and animals for blood to produce eggs.

After feeding, female mosquitoes will look for water
sources to lay more eggs. The mama mosquito will
go on the eggs until they hatch, once they hatch they
all crawl on the mama mosquitos back and stay there
until their fully developed.

Book Week in Schools

This week was book week. There was a play performed in our school hall on Tuesday.

The play was about the Treasure Hunt that has been written by Craig Christie.

There were two tribes living on an island. These two tribes blamed each other for stealing each other songs.

The Trealand tribe was led by George and the Seaview Tribe was led by Jessica. These two characters teamed up to solve the problem about the lost treasure that was their song.

The problem was solved when they were able to put the torn map together and work out how to get to the treasure. They had to read three different books to solve the problem.

I really enjoyed this play because both the characters were very smart and talented. They sang very well and were also very hilarious.

Thank you Sam and Lydia for coming to our school. We hope to see you again next year.

Next, we drove all the way to town because that is were the VR room is,then we arrived my uncle dropped us off there and he said”I’m going to find a parking,while we were waiting we saw heaps of people on a electric scooter.Then we saw him walking down the hill and we all went in the VR room and walked upstairs.

Then, we all felt like we were in heaven because we saw a lot of VR and it was so amazing.When we got up there the owner of the place told us how to do the games because the tv is touch screen and the headset and controllers.

After that we choose our tv and headset and controller,the first game I played was a scary and terrifying it was the ROLLERCOASTER it was so hard because you have to stand up and not sit down,I was just running and I tried to sit down because I was scared.

After playing the roller coaster my little cousin wanted me to go in the singing both with him to sing his favorite song psy,then we finally finished, we walked out of it and were going in different type of car parks, then we saw our van we drove to Glen Innes to buy takeaways. Then we drove home and saw a lot of cars and I just remembered it was New years eve.

Finally,it was night we all said”bye” to each other and we went to the room to sleep.

I had a fun time today and it was so fun at the VR room.

FUN TIME WITH MY FRIEND

FUN TIME WITH MY FRIEND

In the weekend on Saturday 16th of February 2019, I was laying down on my bed playing on my grandpa’s phone. After a while my big brother came in my room and said ”You can play game” so I ran to his room put the headset on and I turned on the PS4 and went on his account and went on party. I saw Ali-jon’s party so I decided to go in his party. We both said”hi” at each other and then I went on fortnite.

Then I was in the lobby waiting for Ali-jon to join but he wasn't joining, so I decided to spam him and then he joined.Then we were playing duos and we almost won. Ali-jon said ”we died because of my brothers”, so after that game Ali-jon’s cousins joined so we all played squads. In our first game  Ali-jon died except me.  I almost won and I carried all of them because they all had like 2 or 5 kills and I had 12 kills.

After that game we played another squads and we landed on the Tilted Towers and we all died there. So Ali-jon’s cousin quit, so we decided to play creative and we all were 1v1ing.Then Ali-jon decided to watch youtube so all I did was play solos.

Finally it was night.  My big brother said ”I’m going to play now” so I changed it to another game called Apex Legends for him. I hopped off and went to the kitchen to make a cup of tea for myself. Then went to my bed and laid down ready to go to sleep. Then after a while I woke up because I could hear my big brother shouting and laughing talking to my cousin because they were playing together. He was still awake at 2am then I just opened my netbook, while watching youtube I fell asleep.

Fun Time With Family

During the weekend my siblings and I went to Sylvia Park to watch an amazing movie called “Avengers Infinity War”.First,we were at home getting ready in warm clothes because it was a cold night and then we all went outside and my brother drove us.

Next, we all went in a van and drove to Sylvia Park. We first went to Pak’ N Save to buy food and treats for the movie.Then we drove to the movies and went inside. We were waiting in the mall for about ten minutes and while we were waiting we were taking pictures.

Then, the movie was almost about to start, my five sisters were hiding the food in their jackets. When we walked in the cinemas we bought our tickets and some popcorn and drinks then walked in the theater and we were looking for our seats.

When the movie started my sisters took the food out of their jackets and we were all eating the lollies and the popcorn. My little brother and I fell asleep for the whole movie.

Finally,the movie finished and we all walked outside and we were looking for our van. Then we were driving to Mcdonalds in Glen Innes and bought a dinner box. We then got home and we walked into the house .My nana and grandpa was just watching a rugby game. We walked in the kitchen and ate our Mcdonalds. After that we all went the room and we went to sleep. It was a lovely outing.

What we had to do is dip our cup in the bucket full of water then we raced down the slide and ran all the way to our house bin and tip the water in there. We kept on doing it over and over again the until Mrs Tofa rang the bell witch meant we had to change.

The second activity we did was walk the plank. What we had to do was the first person in the line had to walk the plank and grab the cup and run to the bin and tip it in there. Then Mrs.Ellia called Key and me to get another plank because Nikau had to pair up with Kauri because the did not have a plank so me and Key went and got another plank, when we got back Kauri was happy because Nikau was slowing them down, then Mrs.Tofa rang the bell so we changed around.

What we had to do was we had to partner up with someone in your group, I partnered up with key, We got the cup and filled it up with water then we put your arms together and ran up the hill to get to the bin and tipped it in there then we ran down and gave it to our other teammates. Then Mrs.Tofa rang the bell and we changed around.

Our forth activity we did was the spongebob wetpants. First we all lined up in our hose line and the first person at the line had to get the sponge and put it in the water and what we did was put the sponge over our head and put it under our legs and the last person at the end of the line ran with the sponge and squeezed it in the bin until Mrs.Tofa rang the bell.

Our last activity we did was the zig zag relay. We all lined up in our house line and the first person in the line have to dip it in the bucket full of water and in front of them was 5 cones for us to zig zag it but to make it harder it was on the side of our hill. We all raced down and tipped it in the our house bin, mostly everyone was tipping the water on there way down.

Then, it finished we all sat down on the courts and Mrs.Tofa and the other teachers and students were measuring the bins with little buckets. How the did it was they dipped the bucket in the bin and took it out and tipped it on the grass . They measured Kowhai bin first and the were 7. Next they measured Rata’s bin and it was 6 and 3 quarters, Then they measured Kauri’s bin and they got 6 and a half, Then the measured Nikau’s bin and they had the least amount of water. Mrs.Tofa said” 1st is Kowhai 2nd Rata 3rd Kauri and 4th Nikau”.

Finally, we all went back to our classes and got changed, after getting changed it was morning tea we all had our lunch and for participating we got a yummy treat and it was a ICE BLOCK.
