Summer Learning Journey - Week 2 Day2/Activity 2

Monday 19 December 2016

Task - Activity 2
One of the most popular activities in Madrid, the capital city of Spain, is called ‘Bullfighting.’ It has been a part of Spanish culture for centuries. In bullfighting people called ‘toreros and ‘matadors’ fight with a live bull. The toreros do most of the fighting and, ultimately, capture the bull and tie it up. Once it has been caught, the matador joins the fight and kills the bull. Although most toreros and matadors are men, there are some women who also compete in the sport.
Not everyone supports bullfighting in Spain. In fact, about 30% of the population want it to be banned (stopped) completely. What do you think? On your blog tell us whether or not you think that bullfighting should be banned in Spain. Please provide, at least, two reasons to support your decision.

In my opinion I think it shouldn’t be banned. It’s very dangerous and scary. But on the other side I think they shouldn’t ban it because it’s something they are use to and they love and enjoy it. Also it’s their traditional way.

The missing bag - Writing

A blanket of fog covered the land below with only patches of green grass and some large buildings visible. Putting my luggage on the top shelf and went to sit down in my seat.


After eating my meal I went to the bathroom. While I was in the bathroom I remembered about my Handbag. I finished from being in the bathroom and then I went to check if my handbag was still there. I opened the top shelf seeing my handbag not being there. I ask the passengers that were in my row if they have seen my handbag. All there answers to my questions were “no”. So I sat there for about 5 minutes waiting.


Then I decided to go ask the flight attendant if she could help me. “Yes, but have you looked properly on the top shelf?” The flight attendant said. “Yes, I have” I replied. Then she told me let’s go look properly. We got to my seat then we started looking.

At the top shelf we both saw a big bag. She moved the big bag… and “THERE!!” I screamed with excitement. “THANK YOU SO MUCH!!” I said to the flight Attendant, “No Worries” she replied. After all the stress I went back to my seat and sat down listening to music.

Writing - I found a strange package by the door...

I found a strange package by the door. I was confused because I didn’t order anything. So I got it and check the address because it might be for someone else and they delivered it to the wrong address.

I check it and it said California, America. “This is my address” I said. So I decided to open it. I opened it it was 2 clothes wrapped up together. “Hmmmm” I wondered “I think somebody sent it to me”.  Then I decided to try it on. I tried it on it a perfect fit. I smiled and looked at the mirror. “I wonder who would of sent it to me” I said lovingly to my self.

I woke up the next morning and saw the other shirt in my closet. I wore it then went for a walk. I asked my friend Rosie if she was the one who sent it to me and I saw her wearing the same top as me. “Yes” she said proudly. “Thank You so much” I said hugging her “No Problem.

I just wanted to send it to you so you can have the same clothes as me “You're the best” I replied. And she smiled and said bye. So I came back home being happy.

So I looked at my dog and he smiled back at me.

At the I and my dog both said bye to her and left.

Being Smart Online

Today Constable Gordon came here to St Pius X school to talk about Cyber Smart. He was talking about the principles of online communication. I learnt that if you were to post something nasty about people you would never fully delete it. It can be retrieved. It will always be there in the cloud. I also learnt if you use a cell phone the provider can retrieve the text messages I send even though I deleted it.  Online laws is place. If I break the law and I am 14 years old I can go to court for that.

Thank Constable Gordon. I need to be smart online.

Narrative Writing

Learn - I am Learning to write a Narrative writing using a silent trailer.
Branch and I lived in the middle of the wood.  My friends were the plants and the monsters.

“Brother finger Brother finger…” I sang. “SERIOUSLY!?” Branch screamed at me “What??” I asked “Can you go to bed?” “Well, yes but I’m singing to go to bed”. Branched ignored me and turned around going to bed.
When he slept I sang again to annoy him and he was very furious when he got up. When I sang I moved back into the darkness and my friends started joining me by singing. One of my friends which was the spider crawled up on him then he flicked it away.

As soon as I finished Branch asked “May I?” (meaning for my ukulele) then I gave it. Straight away he threw it inside his bonfire he just made. I just stood there being so angry and mad. I just wanted to scream my Lungs out of but I kept it inside.  After he threw my ukulele he went to bed. So I went to bed as well being angry and mad.

Day 7 - BONUS

Sunday 17 July
Day 7 - BONUS

Bonus - This year two new sports are being added to the Paralympic Games. They are canoeing and triathlon. In the triathlon the athletes must swim 750 metres, cycle for 20 kilometres, and then run for 5 kilometres. Paralympic athletes may also compete in other sports including archery, boccia, football, judo, powerlifting, rowing, sailing, swimming, sitting volleyball, track cycling, wheelchair basketball, wheelchair fencing, wheelchair rugby, and wheelchair tennis. To learn more about all of the Paralympic sports, please visit the 2016 Paralympic Games website.

Imagine that you are on the Paralympic Committee and you have been asked to create one new sport to add to the competition for this year. Use your awesome imagination to design a brand new Paralympic sport. Please remember that some of the athletes will not be able to walk or run and others may be blind or deaf. On your blog, please write:

  1. The name of your sport
“The Travelling Egg”

  1. A brief description of how you play the sport
The game that I have come up up with is called "The travelling egg". The Travelling egg is suitable for the Paralympic Athletes to play. This game can be played by either Deaf,Blind or anyone who's in a Wheelchair. For participants that are Deaf, the game can be introduced to them through hand signals. In which to say, this game consists of an egg being put on a spoon. By this, the participant playing needs to make sure the egg sits on the spoon until the finishing line. However, for the participants that are blind they do get a head start of 8 seconds.


  1. Three rules for the sport

  • Rule 1) If the egg falls off the spoon you're out
  • Rule 2) One hand behind your back
  • Rule 3) No RUNNING!

Day 7 - Activity 2

C:\Users\rwil313\Desktop\Paralympic logo Nz.jpgActivity 1 - It is very expensive for each of the Paralympic athletes to fly from New Zealand to Rio de Janeiro to compete.  Most athletes have to fundraise in order to make the money that they need to go on the big trip. Recently, Harvey Norman announced that they will be helping to raise funds for the New Zealand Paralympic team. What could you do to help raise funds to support our amazing Paralympic athletes? On your blog, list 2 different ways in which you, your family or friends could raise money to support the athletes.


  • One of the ways my family and I would like to help is by having a Garage Sale. Having a garage sale would be helpful as we have things that we no longer make use of in which would be helpful to sell and raise money from.
  • The second way I would help out is to have island plates. By this my family and friends could gather bits and pieces of island food which would combine into a plate or container that we could sell and raise money from.

Day 7 - Activity 1

Day 7 - Activity 1

Activity 1 -  At the first ever Paralympic Games in Rome, the athletes competed in eight sports. Cycling was one of them. For the cycling event, two people compete together as a team – one of the people has a disability and the other does not. Here is a picture of a para-cycling team from New Zealand:
C:\Users\rwil313\Desktop\Paraclycing team (NZ).jpg
At the moment the most famous para-cycling team in New Zealand is comprised of two female athletes – Emma Foy and Laura Thompson. Emma is blind but Laura is not. Together they work as an amazing team. Imagine that you were asked to compete in a tandem cycling event and you had to choose one person to compete with. Who would it be? On your blog, tell us who you would compete with and why. If it was me, I would choose my son, Aronui because he’s pretty fast and very funny. He would make me laugh as we biked along and would be very supportive and encouraging! I know that I could trust him to be a good teammate. Who would you choose?

I would choose my Best Friend, Saveu.  I would pick her because we work together as a team. I know that I can trust her to motivate me when I am feeling my lowest to keep going. Also Saveu is very energetic in which I know will keep us going to the finish line of the race. Which is why I think Saveu is the best person to be my partner.
