Activity 1 Day 1: Explorers

This week we started on our first activity for week 1. For this activity we had to list 10 foods that we would choose to take on a ocean voyage. I picked food that wouldn't need to be refrigerated, this was quite hard as most of these foods are not really tasty to people.

Activity 1 day 3: environment & exploration

Giovanni - Winning a reward in the first New zealand lego league competition

Joseph -  Being faster and faster along the years

Jay den - Being a good tennis player



L.I to interview 3 or more friends to find out their biggest accomplishment or what they are proud of.

This activity is about finding out about a couple of your friends accomplishments. One of the most interesting accomplishments I found is that Giovanni has won the lego league competition which is pretty cool. This activity was cool. I wonder what other peoples biggest accomplishments are?

Activity 1 day 3: environment & exploration

L.I to create a DLO that explains 3 questions about the activity, and answer them.
This activity is about the dirty water around 1 billion people only have that need clean water. There is a video that we can watch and 3 questions that go with it that needs to be answered. The questions are what is the goal, where do they work and what have they archived. I have answered these 3 questions with detail. Some thing I found interesting is that around 1 billion (1/7 of the world) has no access to clean water. I understood this activity because we worked on this for inquiry. This activity was kind of easy, but the questions were a little challenging.

The Story of the Mayflower

The Mayflower sailed out of Plymouth Harbour in England on September 6, 1620. The small sailing ship carried 102 pilgrims across the Atlantic ocean for 65 days to plimouth in the New World . They had religious freedom now but life was hard, as they had to build or make everything they needed for survival from scratch. The winter made life hard and many people lost their lives, crops failed to grow and spirits were low. Some of the wampanoag tribe helped by giving advice and by bringing food. That next year the pilgrims harvest was much better. To celebrate they hunted for meat and turned many of their crops into delicious food, and invited the wampanoag tribe to join them in a feast of thanks giving.

A journey of a shoe

This week for Writing, we were giving Objects inhumane quality (Personification). As for the object, we chose a shoe. Joseph and I were paired up. This was also a challenge because we had to face back to back, no communication was allowed either. 

My mouth was wide open, only to be filled by a huge stinky socks. I liked my hair messy, until tied my owner tied it tight. I didn’t really like him because he kept getting gum, dirt and lots of things on my bottom. Every time he kicked a ball, it would hurt my face especially my nose. When I got exhausted, he just kept getting stinkier. My owner was annoying, he was so fast he always got my hair untangled. Getting back home was a relief, I could just sit down and sleep. As my owner grabs me, he throws me to the garbage, as I was falling I saw another pair of flash shoe.

Greek Mythology - Reading

This week for reading, we had to choose a Horrible Histories book. When chosen, we read the whole book, then we made a DLO sharing the information we gathered. Joseph and I chose the Groovy Greeks. Talking about the greeks had a number choice to choose from, the spartans, athens, trojan and Greek God. We chose to talk about the greek gods because it shared some interesting facts.
