Summer Learning Journey - Day #2 BONUS activity

My favourite food is the McFlurry (bubblegum squash) from Macas because I enjoy the sweetness and the soft  marshmallows. Eating this reminds me of chewing bubblegum while having the melting marshmellows in your mouth. I would prefer eating this rather than normal ice cream in a cone. 
Here is a diffrent recipe to make an oreo McFlurry:
Add 1/4 cup of the Oreos, ice cream, milk and creamer into a blender. Blend on low until smooth. Remove from the blender and stir in the remaining cookies. Pour the mixture into a glass and garnish with M&M's and Oreos

Summer Learning Journey Day 2 activity 2

 

For this summer learning activity I have to draw myself doing my dream job. I chose to draw myself as a singer because singing means a lot to me and preforming in front of an audience. The main reason I chose to become a singer for my dream job is because its my passion that I use a lot around my house when i'm doing choirs and when i'm bored. 

Day #2 activity #1 - Summer Learning Journey

In the 1800s, most Māori lived in villages called pa. Each village had many buildings. A traditional wharepuni had a thatched roof and walls made of timber, fern, rushes and bark. Look at the picture below of a traditional wharepuni. Does it look like your house?  

This wharepuni looks nothing like my house because my house doesn't have any Maori patterns on it and definitely isn't made out of timber, fern, rushes and bark. But we do welcome guests such as family members and friends. The Maori people living in the wharepui do welcome new guest, family and friends too! maybe thats the most common thing about my house and the wharepuni. 

Summer Learning Journey Bonus Activity - The First Settlers

People in Aotearoa/New Zealand still use waka but don't use them to transport from country to country instead they use them for special Maori events and sporting cometitions like Waka Ama. but both boys and girls compete in Waka Ama boat racing.

                         

Summer Learning Journey day #1 activity #2 - The First Settlers

Maybe the first settlers were brave enough to leave their homeland and be in search of another island. Using the waka/voyaging canoe they managed to arrive in an island which is not far from their homeland (Polynesia). They named the island. 

If that were me I would obviously feel scared, nervous and confused. Being on a waka/voyaging canoe for that long could be dangerous and you never know what sea creature might be on to you like a giant octopus or shark if so I would jump into the water and pretend that i'm dead and they will hopefully swim away (maybe?). but being in a waka/voyaging canoe for that long wou

ld make me feel sea sick and scared.

Year 7 Speeches - My Speech For Sports Leader

Hi my name is Viva,       

I think I would make a great sports leader because I am active, respectful and encouraging. The main reason I chose to be the sports leader for 2018 is because I love talking and sharing exciting news about sports, sports has been my buddy ever since I was a little girl. People said that “whatever sports you try out you will never make it into the finals” but I said to myself that “you'll never know until you try!” So I just ignored everything they had said and carried on playing sports! They all ended up with nothing to do but put people down. That’s why I’m here to tell you that you’ll never know until you try! So please

VOTE for me to be your sports leader for 2018. Thank you for listening and don’t forget that “you’ll never know until you try!”.

Today I have said my speech in front of the whole class, I was nervous when I first said "Hi". I felt like I was going to drop the microphone. At the end of the speech I stopped feeling nervous and sat down with the people that have finished their speech. I was revealed when I was finished saying my speech. But anyways as it says in my speech "you'll never know until you try" I kept saying it over and over again on the way back to class. I found it very interesting that Shakaia (my class mate) was the only one that was in for manaiakalani leader!
