Summer Learning Journey Day 1 Activity 2

For this activity we had to tell you the audience about our cultural background.  I'm a fifth generation New Zealander and my ancestors came from a lot of European countries. The last name Gaudin (which is my last name) originates from my great great Grandad (who's parents where from France and his wife was from South Africa) and probably his great ancestors as well.

Summer Learning Journey Day One Activity 3

For this activity you have to get a charity that you are interested in. For my case I'm interested in #TeamTrees. Mr Beast and Mark Rober plus the you tube community have made a fundraiser to plant trees. Every dollar is one tree and their goal is to reach 20 million dollars. The reason they started was to celebrate Mr Beast's 20 million subscribers on Youtube while help the environment that little bit. As of the time of posting this they have raised 19,152,430. The fundraiser ends on January 1st. The reason I'm interested in this is because the're helping the environment.

Summer Learning Journey Day 1

The activity idea is to come up with 10 things to eat that you would take on a 3 week canoe trip.

1. Trail Mix. it has nut seeds because they are high in vitamins, minerals, healthy fats, fibre and protein which you would need to stay energised. nuts such as almonds, cashews pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds.

2. Dried Fruit. normal fruits are highly perishable, dried fruits are heat stable and have long best before dates. they would be pretty suitable for longs trips 

3. Water. water is a must have, you can only last 3 days without water. 

4. Muesli. muesli is high in energy and fibre and would sustain you for a period of time 

5. Sweetened Condensed Milk That Have Vegetables In Them. Your source of calcium and sugar

6. Tinned Casseroles/Meats. Would help your brain and vitamin b.

7. Orange Juice. Hydrates you and  gives you vitamin c

8. Beef Jerky. It doesn't perish, and is a source of protein as well.

9. MRE Self Heating Beef Stew. Can heat you up and protein and carbohydrates.

10. Biscuits. energy and carbohydrates.

My Mihi

In Room Six we created and practised reciting out mihi. This was a fun activity that fit in with the topic of 'We belong'. Here is a video of me sharing my mihi. I hope you enjoy.

Halving and doubling

In class we have been working on halving and doubling. We had to create a DLO to explain the process. I hope you enjoy my DLO and maybe even learn something from it.

Camp certificate

Speech

In class we have been working on speeches. This term we are focusing on writing our end of year speech. I reflected back on my term 3 speech for guidance and help to create an amazing end of year speech. This is my creative speech from Term 3. I hope you enjoy it.

Radish carving? Singing with dead horses? Could this get any weirder? Yes it can! But i’ll start off with some holiday traditions that aren't so weird. 

Have you ever heard of a radish? Have you ever eaten a radish? Have you ever tried to carve a radish? Well if your in Mexico on 24 of December you can carve your own radish and make outstanding sculptures. What are some kind of things you would carve if you had the choice?

What would life be like without christmas? Waiting all year for nothing? Well if you live in Japan, you don’t get christmas instead you get KFC for dinner. They don’t celebrate christmas because they use the two most exciting days of the year ‘christmas eve and christmas’ to spread happiness rather than open gifts. Imagine lying in bed on christmas morning waiting to see if Santa came? How disappointing would that be?

International Bean Day one of the less known holidays. On January the 6 you can celebrate your favourite thing… beans! In the united states they have a whole day dedicated to show how much you love beans? Bean day was created because a lady by the name of Paula Bowen believed there wasn't enough holidays in the year. It was also created to celebrate her dad Mr Bean.

From this speech I hope you have learnt something new about these odd holidays. Thankyou for listening.
