SLJ - I am finished

Thank you very much for this awesome experience over the Summer Holiday. I feel like I haven't forgot anything about last year and I had fun learning more about New Zealand and what will happen in the future.  I have learnt a lot and the knowledge will stay with me. Thank you to everyone that has commented on my blog and thank you to the people that help make this blogging experience happen. I can't wait for the Winter Learning Journey because I will be taking part.

SLJ - Week 4 - Day 5

SLJ - Week 4 - Day 5 

Activity 1 - It may be hard to imagine, but one day you will graduate from high school and it will be time to decide what to do next. You may want to study at university, become an apprentice, go to training college, travel, or start working. There are so many options!

Take a minute to think about your future. What would you like to do when you finish school? Would you like to work in a specific job? Would you like to study at university? What would you study? Maybe you’d even like to move overseas. Share your thoughts and ideas on your blog site. There are no wrong answers! 

I have thought for 2 years about what I would want to do after college and here are my plans. First I will go to University to get a degree in order to become a lawyer. I would then go and do more studies and to be starting to be a family lawyer. While I am a family lawyer I will move to Los Angels and get a house there. I will also be a family lawyer there as well. 
 
Activity 2 - Let’s imagine that you’ve just learned to drive, and your family has decided to buy you a brand new car. You are allowed to choose from any of the following designs:

On your blog please tell us which of the three cars you would choose and why.

I would choose the third car hands down because if there is a earthquake or even a tsunami then the car will turn into a jet and fly out of there. I would love if they made cars like this then I could use it for emergencies. But they have to make it in vans for families that are big like mine.

Activity 3 - There is a new movie out in cinemas at the moment called Blade Runner 2049.

It is a movie about what the world will be like in the future. Imagine that you able to travel through time and that you can see what the world will look like in 2099.

On your blog write a description of what New Zealand will be like at that time (80 – 90 years from now). What kind of houses will people live in? What will they eat? Where will they work?

I imagine that we will be living in either houses that are invisible or they will be floating. I got some of these thoughts from a movie Terminator. I can see people ordering food and in a image it appears and is ready to be eaten. I would say they are either eating Krispy Kreme Doughnuts or Cheerios or even a steak meal. We would work online because I can see technology evolving through the years. I can say that what ever happens in the future I am ready and prepared for what ever happens.

 

SLJ - Week 4 - Activity 2 and 3

SLJ - Week 4 - Activity 2 and 3 - Day 4 

Activity 2 - Watch this short clip from Country Calendar. What do you think would be the most interesting and/or challenging things about being a farmer? Would you would like to be a farmer when you are older. Why/why not? Give us, at least, two reasons to support your answer.

I would love to be a farmer when I am older because you get to be out in nature and get to look after animals. I would also like to be a farmer because you get to make your own milk and many more food. The video that I watched persuaded me to want to be a farmer because I my aunt said "That if you become a farmer that you would always get sick.."
One thing that I thought was challenging is that it looks like it is going to be a mission to milk the cows. I also though that was interesting was that you get to make food with the products you made or grew.


Activity 3 - Think of your favourite song. Share the name of the song, the name of the person who wrote the song and the lyrics from the song on your blog. You must type the lyrics not cut and paste them in order to earn full points for the activity.

Who wrote it -Sam Hunt
Name of the song - Body like a back road
Who sings it - Sam Hunt

" Got a girl from the South Side ,Got braids in her hair
First time I seen her walk by, Man I bout fell up out my chair
Had to get her number, Took me like six weeks
Now me and her go way back, like Cadillac seats
Body like a back road, Driving with my eyes closed
I know every curve like the back of my hand
Doing fifteen in a thirty, I ain't in no hurry, I'm take it slow just as fast as I can
The way she fit in them blue jeans, She don't need no belt
But I can turn them inside out, I don't need no help
Got a hips like honey, so thick and sweet
It ain't no curves like her on them downtown streets
Body like a back road, Driving with my eyes closed
I know every curve like the back of my hand
Doing fifteen in a thirty, I ain't in no hurry, I'm take it slow just as fast as I can
MUSIC PLAYING
We're out here in the boondocks, With the breeze and the birds
Tangled up in the tall grass, With my lips on her
On a highway to heaven, Headed south of her smile
Get there when we get there, Every inch is a mile
Body like a back road, Driving with my eyes closed
I know every curve like the back of my hand
Doing fifteen in a thirty, I ain't in no hurry, I'm take it slow just as fast as I can
I'm take it slow, Just as fast as I can
I know every curve like the back of my hand
MUSIC PLAYING

SLJ - Day 4 - Week 4 - Activity 1

SLJ - Day 4 - Week 4 - Activity 1 

Activity 1 - Watch the trailer for Moana and then write a summary of the movie on your blog. If you’ve seen the movie, you can include your favourite part! Tell us as much as you can about the movie. What is it about? Who are the main characters in the movie? What do they do in the movie? Where do they go?

Moana is one of my favourite Disney movies because of the characters personality. My all time favourite character is Hay Hay because even though he is a chicken he knows whether he is on land or water. Even though Maui is known as the guy who stole the heart of Tefiti deep down he is a good person. My favourite part in the movie is when Hay Hay finds out he is on the water instead of the land. My favourite song is Maui - Your welcome and Tamatoa - Shiny.

 

SLJ - Day 3

SLJ - Day 3 

Activity 1 -  Imagine that you had to form a coalition government with two other people.  Who would you choose to partner with?

If I had to choose two partners it would be my older brother because he knows a lot about government rules and he has been studying the government, so he would know a lot about that. I would also have as my partner is my younger brother because he is very smart and has a lot of knowledge about politics.


Activity 2 - Speaking of home, where do you live? On your blog, please post a picture of your hometown and provide a list of three things that tourists, like us, could do if we came to visit. What do you like most about your hometown? (Remember the guidelines for being Cybersmart, and never post your address online).

   

Auckland is my hometown. I grew up in Auckland and getting to met awesome people and places. If I was a tour guide I would first take them somewhere to eat like a place called Genghis Khan because you can pick your own food and you can see how they cook it. The second place I Full-Day Waitomo Caves & Hobbiton Movie Set Tour because you get to explore the caves. The last place I would take them to is a ice cream place called Pokeno. It's where you can choose out of 100 of ice cream flavours. I am sure that everyone is going to enjoy a day like this. 

Activity 3 - Imagine that you are a teacher, and design your own classroom. What would it look like? What furniture would you have? I would love to have some beanbags for reading on.

I have drawn my class I have a tv so that when the children have finished doing there work they can then just have some free time watching what they want. I then have a library for children that are like me to do some reading because it is good for us. I then have a beanbag so that they can also relax while reading. Last I have a desk for children so that they can sit up and write.

SLJ - Day 2 Activity 2 - Kevin Durant

SLJ - Day 2 Activity 2

Activity 2 - On your blog tell us about your sporting hero. Who are they? Why are they a hero? Include a photo of them in your blog post.

Kevin Durant
 

Kevin Durant is my sporting hero because he plays for my favourite NBA team which is Golden State Warriors. He is very talented at what he does and enjoys doing it. I look up to him because of the moves that he does and how a good sportsmen person he is. When he's not playing he is cheering and supporting his fellow plays and encouraging them like me. Kevin Durant is my sporting hero and will always be.
