Day #1 - SUMMER LEARNING JOURNEY

- In the Beginning
For my first activity of the summer learning journey was to write 3 fun facts . Here is my 3 fun facts. Some I didn't know about so that's why I chose most of them.
found out that....

 1. Aotearoa is the Maori name for New Zealand, which means the long white cloud.
2. Its one of the 3 countries in the world that has 2 official national anthems of equal standings. The first was God save the Queen and the other is  God of nations New Zealand.
3. New Zealanders are called Kiwis, but did you know... Kiwi is not a fruit, it's New Zealand native flightless bird?

What do you know about New Zealand?

- North and South


This is my secound activity and here is my reasons why were I live is the most wonderful place to live...

In the south Island its and amazinly fanstasic place. You here the birds singing to eachother, which is ratherly a soothing sound. We get quit a bit of rain and as I said with the birds the rain hits on the roof and its makes a soothing sound. We are really close to a park so we can go play some active games to have fun with my fanstaic siblings.
So thats why I would stay and never leave this house!!!

What would be your reasons to have a place like yours?

- Ice, Ice Baby


This is the bonus activity! I had to make a footprint and write the things you should not share to be cyber saftey.

Life Education - Learning with Harold the Giraffe

This week we have been learning about Teams. We are learning with Harold the Giraffe. Harold is a funny and a little cheeky Giraffe. The most Challenging part of Learning with Harold is that we have to remember to talk to Harold a special way. The easiest part was meeting Harold.

Christmas Story

We are learning to make a story of Christmas. I made a long story but I also added alot of detail. Have a read and enjoy.

There was a Nutcracker outside all alone playing in the snow. It was Christmas eve and no one was playing with him so he had to cover himself with snow. He wanted to have someone to play with but he was not having much fun by himself. Suddenly there was a bounce on the roof

“ What was that?” cried the nutcracker. There was whispering.

“ lets steal the presents and ruin Christmas for the good girls and boys.” whispered a big voice from the roof.

“Yeah lets do it” said another quit voice.

“ I need to go and see what it is”whispered the nutcracker. Unfortunately it was Santa and his head elf trying to ruin Christmas.

“ But why is Santa trying to ruin Christmas on Christmas eve shouden`t it be on Christmas day. I do not think that they are the real Santa Claus and his elf. I think that they are an evil clone of them?” whispered the nutcracker softly.

“ Then where is the real Santa Claus and head elf I need to find them and quick.”cried the nutcracker.

“ Where is the presents!!. I WANT THEM NOW. Yelled the evil Santa Claus

“Calm down” said the evil head elf.

“NO. I WANT I GET IF I DO NOT GET I WILL BE GRUMPY!!” Screamed the evil Santa Claus.

Suddenly before they got the presents they saw another sleigh with no presents. There were two sleighs. “What is the other sleigh doing here” Scream the evil Santa Claus.

“What are you doing here?” Yelled Santa Claus.

“Go away Santa Clause I'm going to ruin your Christmas and you are going to stay out of it me and my evil elf are going to ruin this perfectly good Christmas for the good girls and boys.”

“No you won't I will save Christmas and you can't stop me”

“With all my powers let Christmas be ruined for all the good girls and boys bring all the presents to me.” As the evil Santa Claus sang.

“STOP” Cried Santa Claus. “Take my reindeer's my powers but just let the good girls and boys have there presents.”Santa Claus painted.

“Ok then” The evil Santa said softly.” Give your powers let the good girls and boys have there presents let me take Santa's Reindeer's and his powers.” Sang the evil Santa. The head elf stopped he cried so hard that the evil Santa had a chance of killing them both but before he could Santa Claus took the knife out of his hand and stabbed the Evil Santa right in the stomach.

“Leave him alone” Cried the evil head elf. Suddenly the head elf got the knife from Santa's hand and suddenly…. The head elf Stabbed the evil head elf and everything was back to normal. Christmas was back and it was nearly bedtime. The presents were back and the girls and boys had a wonderful Christmas and they enjoyed Christmas.

“HO HO HO Merry Christmas!” Yelled Santa Claus riding his sleigh.

Te Manu Tukutuku poem

This week we have been doing a poem about our new school. So far we are making a poem about Te Manu Tukutuku.I love our new school that has been bulit for us. I hope you enjoy my poem.

Te manu Tukutuku poem

I feel proud to have a brand new school.

I can smell the freshness from just like outside.

I can hear children gossiping about how cool this school is.

I can see shiny, shimmering shelfs with exciting games.

I have touched the cold whiteboard tables that are almost everywhere in the room.

I can feel like I am in another world like candy land.
