Summer Learning Journey Day 5 Activity 1 Three Treasures

3 more sleeps until Christmas. I hope your excited. I am. For this activity I have to write down three treasures for me. Starting with, 1. My LEGO because it is my favourite toy. 2. My bed because it is so comfortable and it is my happy place. 3. My family because there are generations of my family and they are watching over me right now.

Summer Learning Journey Day 4 Activity 3 Brochure for New Zealand

For this activity I had to make a Brochure for New Zealand. So I did.


Funny how I said so I did and I just showed the picture. :OOOOOOOO
Something I found difficult was getting pictures off of explore.
Something I enjoyed was the whole activity. If it doesn't look like a brochure, that's because I've never seen one.

Which one of these three things would you do?

Summer Learning Journey Day 4 Activity 2 NAME CHANGE

For this activity as you can guess by the title, NAME CHANGE. I get to chose a name that I can change my name to. I used a google drawing for this.

Something I found difficult was thinking of a name.
Something I enjoyed was writing the name.


I would change my name to Dob Bob for 2 reasons.
1. It was the first thing that came to my head.
2. I thought of a character once so that's what made me think of this name.

If you could change your name, what name would it be?

Summer Learning Journey Day 4 Activity 1 Venus and Serena Williams

For this activity I had to watch 2 videos about Venus and Serena Williams. I also have to write 3 things I learnt starting with, 1. They are sisters. 2. They enjoy playing tennis and they don't play to win, they play to have fun. Finally, 3. They proved that women can be as good as men at anything.
1 thing I would like to know is when Venus and Serena started playing tennis.

Something I found difficult was watching the videos because a show that I wanted to watch was on.
Something I enjoyed was actually watching the videos.

What facts would you like to know about these 2 female tennis players.

Summer Learning Journey Day 3 Activity 3 My older brothers dream job

For this activity I had to brainstorm ideas to help my older brother achieve his dream job of being a famous you-tuber. Before I get on with this, my dream job is becoming a famous author.
I found brainstorming ideas to help difficult.
I enjoyed asking him.



What is your dream job?

Summer Learning Journey Day 3 Activity 2 LeBron James Interview Questions

For this Activity I had to write 5 questions to ask LeBron James in an interview. I really enjoyed this. I found thinking of questions difficult.


What are 5 questions you would ask LeBron James?
Do you think these are good questions?

Summer Learning Journey Day 3 Activity 1 Three superpowers I would like to have

For this activity I have to list 3 superpowers I would like to have and why I would have them.  
1. Super speed to get to the bank quick when it's being robbed.
2. Super hearing to know when the bank is being robbed.
3. Super strength to help people when their car breaks down. I can push their car to their house with my super speed.
Something I found difficult is nothing because I already planed these superpowers before the year even began.
Something I enjoyed is writing them down.

What super powers would you have?

I had to do this because today's activity was about rugby players.

Summer Learning Journey Day 2 Activity 3 When my brother was brave

For this activity I had to write about when someone in my life that was brave. I wrote about my brother. It happened at the end of 2017.
Something I found difficult was remembering what had happened.
Something I enjoyed was nothing because it was serious.


DO you know anyone who was brave?
Were you brave at anytime?

Summer Learning Journey Day 2 Activity 2 Neil Armstrong

Hey guys, still day 2. If you have been doing the Summer Learning Journey what are you hoping to win? I'm hoping to win an Ipad. In this activity I had to write a poem about Neil Armstrong on the moon. I had to pretend I was Neil Armstrong and I had to write a poem.
This is it

Mankind sent me, Neil Armstrong to the Moon.
On Apollo 11, I felt a bit nervous but I made it.
On the moon I was excited because I was the first person.
No gravity, I was so happy to be on the moon.

I found the entire poem difficult.
I enjoyed writing the poem because I like writing.

If I was the first person on the moon I'd jump a lot.
What would you do if you were first on the moon.

Summer Learning Journey Day 2 Activity 1 Jean Batten and Amelia Earhart

Day 2 and the first activity is a Venn Diagram about Jean Batten and Amelia Earhart. I found out a lot about these two. I had to list 3 similarity's and 3 difference's.
Something I found difficult was making the diagram.
Something I enjoyed was learning about these two females.


Did you know any of these?

Summer Learning Journey Day 1 Activity 3 SPCA

This Activity is about learning about a charity and what they do. I chose the SPCA because I love animals. There are other groups but I chose the SPCA over all of them.
Something I found difficult was explaining what they do.
Something I enjoyed was getting Cat image's as you will see.


Do you like animals?

Summer Learning Journey Day 1 Activity 2 My family background

Activity 2 was better than Activity 1 and now I will have 8 points because I have finished both. I have 10 points because I have replied to a comment on my blog and comments and replies are worth 2 points each. In activity 2 I had to explain my family's cultural background and where we come from.
Something I found difficult is finding where my family came from.
Something I enjoyed was learning more about my family.


Do you know where your family comes from>

Would you bring anything from here?
Why or why not?

Biteable is a website where you can make videos and view them. I had to make one about Respect. I made a poem.

I found using Biteable difficult because it's new to me.
I enjoyed making the video.

Did you enjoy the video?
Why or why not?

Market Day Poster

This year we are having another market day. 2 years ago in 2017 we had a market day and it was fun. This year there is going to be more things sold. The money we get from the market day will go to the class treat for each class.

My class is selling waffle's, wet sponge throw, briquettes, spiders (Not the arachnid, the frozen drink), pie face games and a guess how many lollies in a jar. I made a poster for wet sponge throw. We throw it at kiwi can leaders. Hope to see you at the market day.

I found making a poster difficult.
I am excited for the market day.
The market day happens on the 6th of December.


This will be where the wet sponge throw will be selling.
Have a good day on market day.

My Christmas Resolution

Walt recall how Mary heard the Word of God and acted on it

It is nearly Christmas, but my class isn't learning about advent. (Yet) We are learning about Mary, the Mother of God and the world. We had to make Christmas resolutions. We also had to write down how we can be disciples.

I found making a Christmas resolution difficult.
I enjoyed making it because it reminds me that Christmas is near.


Do you think my resolution is good?
Why or why not?
What is your resolution?

SLJ Practice Teaser Week

Hey guys, summer has started and soon the holidays will join it, coming with the summer learning journey. We have a teaser week (Practice week). We had to chose a task, I chose day 1 task 2.

I had to make something called a Pepeha. I don't know what that is. I can't wait for summer to start. There are 60 activity in total. That's 3 a day. Each task is worth points. Each completed task gets you more points. Comments get you 2 points, same with replies. There are 2 main activities and 1 bonus.

I hope I win, also we don't have to do the summer learning journey everyday, we get 2 weeks off.

Here is my Pepeha in white and black



Have you used Pepeha before?
I found this difficult, nothing was easy.

Ewes for Me

Walt combine prior and new knowledge to come up with new ideas

This week in reading my group got a non-fiction text. It's about a kid who can't swallow food so he has to have milk. But a problem is that he is allergic to most food, so he has to have sheep milk. The bred of the sheep is call Friesians.

We had to make an automatic milker for our synthesis task.

I found making the thing difficult.
I enjoyed coming up with the idea.




Its called the auto-milker 100.
Do you think this is a good idea?
Why or why not?
Fun fact, Friesians can have only twins or triplets. They can't have one lamb at a time.

Heather the Weather Girl

In reading this week I got a fiction text. It's called Heather the Weather Girl. It's about a girl, who was struck by lightning. Now she can tell the weather so she got on the news. She also has a nosy friend.

I had to chose one of the synthesis task's, one was to create something that could protect you from being struck by lightning. I forgot the other one. I created something that could protect you from lightning.

What I found difficult was thinking of something to protect you.
What I enjoyed was finishing it.



Is this a good idea?
Why or why not?

The True Story of Hansel and Gretel

On Friday 22 of November Room's 4, 5 and 6 went to a ballet. It was Hansel and Gretel. It was only the second half because we went after morning tea and the whole thing would be 2 hours. The performance started around about 12 pm and finished at around about 1.30.

Something I enjoy at the ballet was all the FAKE food. It made me so hungry.
Something I didn't like about the ballet was that we didn't get to see the whole performance.
We only saw the second half because it wouldn't be as long and it was only about 1 hour.
Last year we went to the Nutcracker. It was fun. At first I didn't want to go to the Hansel and Gretel ballet, but I had to go to the ballet, so I did. It ended up being fun. I didn't want to go because I've heard the story over 100 times.
Something else I didn't like was that someone was kicking my set.

On Tuesday the 26 of November we wrote some narrative writing. We had to rewrite the story of Hansel and Gretel.

Something I found difficult was writing the first half because we didn't get to see the first half.
Something I found easy was how it ended.



Hansel and Gretel lived with their Mum and Dad in the big city. They lived in an apartment. They didn’t have much food either. They were starving.
 Hansel said, “I could eat a whole horse.” The Mum said, “No, we will not eat any horse’s in this house, the end.”
 One night while Hansel and Gretel were sleeping, a Witch came through the window. Her name was Night Which. That’s right, she kidnaps kids at night. Her last name really is Witch.

So she kidnapped Hansel and Gretel. In the morning their Dad heard a scream. So he went into Hansel and Gretel’s room.
 The only person there was the Mum. “Hansel and Gretel have been kidnapped.” She said. Meanwhile at Night Witch’s house, Hansel and Gretel woke up.
 “Where are we Hansel.” Said Gretel. “I don’t even know.” Said Hansel. Night Witch came in with some candy. “Have some Candy Dear’s.” Night Witch said.

 Hansel and Gretel ate the candy. Now Night Witch brought in some KFC. Hansel ate it all. Night Witch brought in some Burger King. Gretel ate that. Finally, Night Witch brought in some Mcdonalds. Hansel and Gretel ate it.
 Hansel and Gretel passed out and Night Witch put them in the basement. Hansel was put in a cage and Gretel was just put on the floor. It would’ve been a better idea to put Gretel in the cage too.
 Night Witch said, “I can’t wait to eat some KFH.” KFH means, Kentucky Fried Hansel. She left the room with the key to the cage left on a table in the basement. Hansel and Gretel woke up from their deep sleep.
 “Hansel, your in a cage.” Said Gretel. “Gretel, there’s a key on the table, try to open the cage with that.” Said Hansel. So Gretel used the key to open the cage. It worked.

Hansel jumped out of the cage landing on the ground as the ground shook. Night Witch came in. She ran to push fat Hansel (Because Hansel became fat) into the open oven.
 Hansel moved out of the way as Night Witch said, “Get in that oven you fat buffoon.” Night Witch wasn’t looking where she was going, so she ran straight into the oven. Gretel shut the door to the oven and locked it. Night Witch’s operation: KFH had failed.

Night Witch died as the police came in. “Night Witch you're under arrest for the kidnaping of Hansel and Gretel and tons of other kids.” Said the Police. Night Witch had enough time to say, “I knew I smelled bacon, because the pigs are here.”
 The Police saw that Night Witch died right when Hansel and Gretel’s Mum and Dad came in. “Hansel and Gretel, you're under arrest for the murder of Night Witch.” Said the Cops. Hansel and Gretel realized that they did murder Night Witch.
 “Hansel you must be the reason for the ground to shake earlier, look how fat you are. Your staying in prison for longer.” Said the Cops.

Later at Hansel and Gretel’s trial, the judge said, “They did use self defence. Plus, Night Witch did kidnap and eat tons of kids. I believe Hansel and Gretel deserve a medal for that. On the other hand, Hansel needs to lose weight. 5 weeks of fat camp for you Hansel. But on the third hand for some reason, they’re innocent. Also Night Witch had a lot of money which Hansel and Gretel’s family will get.”
 So the story comes to an end. Hansel went to fat camp, and Hansel and Gretel’s family got all of Night Witches money.

Knocked Out

In writing we had to do some narrative writing. This was a perfect time for my creativeness. My story is called knocked out.

It's about me being knocked out in the middle of the forest and my friends try to find me.

Something I found hard was adding chapters. I didn't have to but I did.
Something I enjoyed was the whole thing.


Knocked Out



Chapter 1
Where am I!

Where am I? Why am I in the forest on the ground? This is all strange.
Why does my head hurt? I’m hungry. I’ve just woken up in the middle of the forest?!?!?! I need to know what happened.

My name is Tyler. I am an 11 year old kid. My favourite movie is called Star Wars but we won’t talk about that now.
The last thing I remember was leaving my house all alone to take a walk in the forest. Now I’m lying on the ground while my head hurts.
What am I going to do? How am I going to get out of the forest? I need answers.

Chapter 2
About 1 month ago

About 1 month ago I won a race between the fastest runner in school. I became the most popular kid in school. I was getting rewards everyday.
Everyone was my friend. Someone even gave me a big present.
“Shut the back door!” I said as I opened the present.

A few days past and I was now losing friends. This is because the race got old. Now I was the most less popular kid in school.
It was fun while the popularity lasted.

A month later I was at home. I decided to go for a walk in the forest. So I told my parents and they let me go alone.
While I was walking through the forest, something bad happened. I tripped and my head hit a rock on the leavy floor. I was knocked out….

Chapter 3
Now

Now I have no idea of what happened. So I started walking. Now, I didn’t know how long it’s been. The leave’s scrunched as I walked over them. It was annoying.
I was hungry, hurt and thirsty. I had no idea of which way I came.

If you want to know how long it’s been, well, it’s been 14 days. 2 weeks!
At my house my parents were worried. All around town my friends were worried. My parents called the police.

“We’ll find your son.” The police said to my Mum through the phone. (I knew that my mum was talking to the police because I had to include in this fake story that my mum was talking to the police. Obviously someone would’ve called the police. How would they know I would missing.) 
They began they’re search as soon as possible.

The one that was worried about me the most was my friend, Dob.

Chapter 4
Dob

Dob was the same age as me. He was like me. He was unpopular and smart. He didn’t like Star Wars though.
He started searching for me. He searched the buildings, the rivers, even the sewers. But the one place he didn’t search was the forest.

Now, the forest had a name. It was called the dark forest….
Unfortunately that was the forest I went in. It was a terrifying forest. No one dared to go in. Except for me. Not even the police searched there.
Good thing I had my phone with me. I knew Dob what a phone, too. So I called him. He answered.

“Dob.” I said on the phone. “Tyler.” Dob replied. “Oh I am happy to hear you.” I said happy. 
“Now, have you been searching for me?” “Yes.” Dob said with a smile. 
“I’ve searched everywhere except the forest.” “Well I’m in the forest.” I said. Dob was surprised. No one dared to go in there….

Chapter 5
The Dark Forest Search Crew Part 1

“Dob, make some friends and find me. Call the team The Dark Forest Search Crew and find me.” I said to Dob. “Call it The DFSC for short.”
“Ok.” Said Dob. So the next day he went to school and got some friends. New friend’s because he didn’t have any.
The first person Dob went to was Bob. Bob and Dob rhymed. So they became friends. The next person was named Rob. Bob, Dob and Rob rhymed too. 2 more people were needed for The DFSC. (The Dark Forest Search Crew.)
So they found 2 people named Bop and Rop. They rhyme too.

So after school with the crew, Dob went to the Dark Forest. It was really dark. In fact that’s how the forest got its name.
“Bob, your code name will be Chicken Nugget.” Said Dob asking for laughter. “Rob, your code name will be French Fries. As in Mcdonald's french fries. Bop, your code name will be, Burger. Rop, your code name is Food.”
“Really Dob. Those are all food names. Especially my name.” Said Rob frustrated. They all entered the forest, scared.

Chapter 6
The Dark Forest

The DFSC all had walky talkys. Dob had a spare 1 for me.
I was still missing. I don’t know if they’ll find me. I continued walking. I heard a twitch crack. I looked around. I saw something in the bush.
“Whoever you are, come out.” I said. Dob came out from the bush.

“I told everyone to split up.” Dob said. “Really!” I said. “Scaring me like that. I told you to find me not scare me.”
“Chicken Nugget, French Fries, Burger and Food, I found him. Right in the middle of the clearing.” Said Dob. The DFSC came out of nowhere.
“AH!” I screamed. “Tyler, I’m so glad we found you.” Said Dob giving me a walky talky. “Your code name can be, Awesome.” “And your code name can be the Scare.” I said.
We started walking. “Do you know the way out.” I said to Dob. “Nope.” Said Dob. It was scary in the Dark Forest.

Chapter 7
It’s Alive

While we were walking, we decided to split up.
“The Scare, your with me. Chicken Nugget, your with French Fries. Burger, your with Food.” I said. So we all split up.

While Burger (Bop) and Food (Rop) walked around the forest. While walking the ran into a wall. It was big, and it had a face on it. It was sleeping.
Chicken Nugget (Bob) and French Fries (Rob) also ran into the sleeping thing. The 4 of them didn’t know what it was.
Me and Scare (Dob) ran into the tree monster too. It woke up because we were running. The DFSC got back together and ran.

This walking tree was faster than a cheetah. We were running for our lives. We saw some trees that looked high and climbable. So we climbed up.
“What are we going to do Awesome.” Said Dob. “I don’t know.” I said out of ideas. “I got a plan.” Said Bop. “We need to use the vine’s from these trees and use them to wrap up the tree monster, after that we run.”
“Great idea Bop.” Said Rop and Rob. So we gathered some vines.

Chapter 8
The Dark Forest Search Crew Part 2

We had all the vines ready with me as bait. The tree monster came out of nowhere running at me as I moved out of the way and got behind the monster.
I pushed the monster into the vine trap and it worked. After that, The Dark Forest Search Crew ran, leaving me behind. I followed. We saw, an exit….

Finally, out of the forest. We ran out of the forest as I sto-

Chapter 9
The DFSC Save the Day

During our escape from the forest, we stopped at a factory with molten lava in it. It also had a chimney that explodes every 5 minutes. BOOM.
The chimney exploded. We decided to go down and take a closer look. We looked through a window. The lava was right next to fuel cells. We thought that if the lava exploded near the fuel cells, this factory will blow up.

It was so hot. The lava near the fuel cells was about to explode. We all ran. There was no one in the factory. We ran as fast as a cheetah.
In the factory, the lava exploded and the fuel cells exploded too. Now there is a lot of fire. Firefighters arrived with trucks and helicopters.

The DFSC and I ran for our lives as we got surrounded by lava. But thankfully there was an opening that we got through. The fire was big. That’s when I got an idea.
I saw one of those water things on a hill. I followed by The DFSC, ran to the water tanker.

We got there. “Everybody, grab a big stick from the tree up here and hit the tanker.” I said bossing them around. The Dark Forest Search Crew hit the tanker legs with a branch causing the tanker to fall down the hill, putting out the fire.

Chapter 10
Tyler is Found

In the end the fire was put out thanks to the tanker falling. I was reunited with my family and we all lived happily ever after. The police called my parents that they found me. That’s how I knew my parents called them earlyer.
My parents and I were so happy that I got a new videogame.

The end.

Chapter 11
Alternate Ending 

So this story could have ended differently. So 1 extra chapter of what could have happened.

Finally, out of the forest. We ran out of the forest as I sto-

There was a big explosion. It came from a factory. A lava factory. The Dark Forest Search Crew and I went down to see.
There were fuel cells right next to the lava. While we were looking, we were caught. It was bad guys. Dob still had his phone with him. So I stomped on 1 of the bad guys foot. There were 4 bad guys.
They started chasing me. I told Dob to use his phone (Because he had his phone) to call the police.

So he did. “We’ll be there as soon as possible.” Said the police on the phone.
So the police arrived. They shut down the factory and took away the fuel cells. They took the bad guys to prison, (No need for court) and I was reunited with my parents.

In this ending, I probably won’t get a video game. Good thing this isn’t the ending that happened. 
In this ending I got a LEGO set instead.

The end.

Did you like the story?
Why or why not?
Do you like the alternate ending or the real ending?
Why?
Did you like the code names?
Why or why not?

Hearing Dog

WALT combine prior and new knowledge to come up with knew ideas.


In reading this week we got an article called Turbo Lends an Ear. It's about a family of 4 and 1 of the kids is hearing impaired, but he can still talk and hear over the phone and he has 1 sister. The sister and the parents are completely deaf.

So, have you heard of seeing eye dogs, well, there is also hearing dogs. So this family has 1 dog and his name is Turbo. He is a hearing dog. It takes 4-6 months and 9,000 dollars to train a hearing dog.

So my groups synthesis task was to make another animal that can help deaf people. I though of a parrot.







Do you think a parrot is a good hearing animal?
Why or why not?
