Walking on the moon (SLJ)

Hello and welcome to my blog

Today I will be writing a poem, a poem is another style of writing.  Poems are pretty hard for me considering that I do not like writing them.   This will be a challenge.  I chose to make an acrostic poem.  It says "Mankinds Huge Step."

Here it is...

Bravery can be shown through kids (SLJ)

Kia ora and welcome to my blog,

I will be telling you a story about how my mum saved two peoples lives.
Here is a short story...
So once my mum went swimming with her friends.  They were having a good time until they went a little deeper.  The waves became stronger and stronger.  It kept pulling them in.  My mum pulled one of them up and the other couldn't really get up so she got pulled deeper.  They found her and luckily she was still alive.

My mother showed her bravery when she put the other girl's safety before her own.  I will like to be like this when I am older as well.

No Destination (SLJ)

Kia Ora and welcome to my blog.

Today I am going to be imagining that I have been selected to go on a trip to wherever in the pacific ocean.  You get to select 10 foods.  Also, you are going to keep in mind that you do not have any access to any kind of fridge or freezer and that you are out for three weeks.

In my opinion, I think that we are going to need a lot of canned foods as they last for a long period of time. I am also going to tell you a little bit about why I have selected these items.  I will think that they can also cook on their canoes.

This is what I came up with...

• Fish

I chose fish because you are surrounded by it why not eat it

• Corned Beef (Can)

I like Corn Beef and if it fits in a can I know that it will last long

• Kumara

I choose Kumara because it has a nice taste and because it is healthy.

• Tuna (Can)

I chose Tuna because we need a backup food

• Baked Beans (Can)

I chose baked beans because it is really healthy and it holds a lot of protein

• Fruits

I choose fruits because they last long. (Depends on the fruit)

• Vegetables

I think that vegetables are a need so we should keep in mind that we need healthy foods aswell

• Rice

Rice will be needed because it will taste

• Porridge 

This will be a nice and simple dish to eat every morning

• Chips ( Sealed)

Chips because they taste nice :)

Thank you for your time, I would like to end this with a couple questions...

Do you think that I need anything more?

Do you like my list?

What would you take?

Have a great day

Where do you come from ? (SLJ)

For this activity, we had to tell you where we came from and in my case, I told you how my parents came to New Zealand from the islands.  Here is my poster...

Can you be someones beacon of hope? (SLJ)

Kia Ora,  Welcome to my blog for this activity we had to research a charity.  We had these options SPCA, Aukland City Mission, Air Rescue and finally OXFAM.  I chose Aukland City Mission before I tell you about this let us ask ourselves this.  

What is Charity?

Charity is an organization set up to help those in need.  They do all kinds of things they might make food for the homeless or fundraise for more buildings for the homeless and much more.  Charity basically means a group of people wanting to help those that are unfortunate.  They also expect no profit or nothing in return.

What does Aukland City Mission do?

Now that we know a little about what Charity means let's find out what Aukland City Mission does for those who are in need.  They do Crisis Services, Homeless Services, Elderly Services, Distribution Services, Drug and Alcohol Services and, Health Services.  But I will be focusing on the Homeless Services.  They help the homeless by giving them food and helping them with their Finacial issues and much more.

Thank you for reading my blog.  Before you do anything I would like to ask that you may do one thing to help out someone in need.  It can be as simple and dropping a coin into a tin or giving them some fresh food.  Thank you for your time.

Summer Learning Journey

I would just like to start off and say that I am thankful for this opportunity to gain an education while I am on the holidays.   I cannot wait to compete with other schools and students to see who is the most active blogger. For me, I think that if I stay committed I will be able to achieve high scores.

I also hope that this will help me to achieve better academic scores as well.  I would like to finish off with thank you for this amazing opportunity to do some work in the holidays and also win prizes doing so.
