Summer Learning Journey Week One Day One

Summer Learning Journey

This holiday I will be doing the summer learning journey. When I was at South Hornby School we did the winter learning journey. Today I will be learning about . . . Arriving in New Zealand

Activity 1:

For activity 1 we had to read and article about Maui and how he fished up the great big fish. then we had to post three things that we learned about Maui.

Fact 1: Maui's brothers thought he was useless.

Fact 2: He fished up the biggest fish in his time.

Fact 3: His town people thought he was the greatest fisherman ever. 

Here is the link to the story Maui and the big fish

Activity 2:

For activity 2 we had to write a letter to a (Imaginary) friend and tell them what it would be like to be on a waka sailing to New Zealand and we had to tell them how we felt.

Dear Friend,

Right now I am sailing to Aotearoa in my waka and i have been sea sick a few times. I hope we are there soon I just want a cooked meal. I feel excited to be going somewhere new but Sad because I will miss you.

From Hayley


Bonus Activity:
For the bonus activity we had to watch a video about the Waka Ama Races. The Waka Ama Races are when a group of men or woman race 5 other teams of 7 in waka's. Then we had to say whether or not we would like to race or not then explain why.

I would like to race in the Waka Ama races because its a team sport and it looks like a lot of fun.

Animal Math

In maths we have been making animals out of shapes. This Is called Tangram. We had to make a tangram Reindeer. I made a black circle for the eye and a red circle for the nose. I named him Rudolph.

Christmas around the world

WALT:  celebrate Christmas in different country's.

We learnt how to celebrate Christmas in France,Italy,the Netherlands,Sweden,mexico,Poland. They are all similar and all different at the same time.

We also learnt about how Santa and the reindeer get different foods from different country's'.

Alarm call

WALT: Predict what is going to happen next

This week we had to write about a monster and a kitten. we had to include an unexpected twist. we had to do it in five days and make sure we got it done. Here is my work.

ALARM CALL

“YOWW” said the monster as the kitten scratched the Monster in the face.

The Green, Yucky  monster was hungry, he wanted some food. He crept along and found a Sweet, tasty, cute kitten Asleep. “This Kitten Looks like mayonaise” Said the monster.

Meanwhile, The kitten was dreaming... or was she? Just Joking. She was awake, and listening to the monster and let out a fake snore. NgaaaaaaMeow NgaaaaaaMeow.

The monster had a problem. The house was made of wood so, there were old floorboards that creeked! He could not get to the kitten. “Dam It, Dam It Dam It” Said the monster “i’m Just too hungry to walk away”

The kitten had been listening and had a plan. She was going to give him payback. “He He He” Said the kitten. 3… 2… 1… Leap! “YOWW” said the monster as the kitten scratched the Monster in the face. “That teaches you for calling me mayonaise” Said the kitten. “I’m Sorry” Said the monster “ I’m just really hungry. “Well I can get you a jar of mayonnaise from the fridge” Said the kitten “ok” Said the monster and ate it all up.

So the kitten may have scratched the monster in the face but they still  became best friends and lived happily ever after.

Mantra

We have been doing Mantra for about 2 weeks now. Mantra is a thing where the whole of Puni-o-toka is collaborating together as teams. We have been doing success and The Ultimate Team Mate. We have been brain storming ideas as a group and doing some fun activities together. The whole group did a google drawing with what we think success means to us. I have been doing a success google drawing to but instead of just putting writing down I put pictures to.
