SLJ Week One

Hey Bloggers today the SLJ (Summer Learning Journey) starts. 

Day one's task is on explorers!

People from he pasific have always been great explorers and navigators. Somehow they manage to survie. They manage to eat and drink water. Where do they store it? 

One master navigator is 

We are told by SLJ

"For this activity, make a list of ten food items that you could take with you. Please think carefully about what you will take as you won’t have access to a refrigerator or freezer while at sea. Please explain why you would select each item. On your blog, post your list of 10 food items you would take on an ocean voyage and the reasons why you chose these items.

     

Here is a list of my ten foods 

1. Caned bake beans because it doesn't go of easily

2. Fish bait and a Fishing rod so I can fish even if I have to eat fish raw   

3. Fruit because I keeps me healthy and strong!

4. Canned spaghetti because that also doesn't go of

5. Nuts like cashews, peanuts and pistachios because they can be eaten easily 

6. Vege because I keeps me healthy and strong!

7. Some lolies because you need sugar sometimes (not all the time though) 

8. Bread (I would keep it air tight so it doesn't go stale)

9. Honey, Jam and butter to put on the bread.   

10. Lots of Water (its not a food but I will need it)

SLJ Teaser Week!

Hey bloggers, 

 It's nearing the end of the year and Megan, a lady from SLJ or Summer Learning Journey came and talked to us about it. This year the prize for doing the most blogging is a... tablet! There are also lots of other prizes from bags to headphones and speakers.d

For the teaser week activity I picked an activity on Donald Trump.

The SLJ site says... 

For this activity, let’s imagine that Donald Trump called you up and asked for your opinion on this controversial issue.

On your blog, please tell us what you think about his plan to build a wall between the USA and Mexico. Is it a good idea or a bad idea? Why do you think so?

I think a wall between USA and Mexico is a very BAD idea. Why would you want to stop others from coming into your country. Another thing that I disagree with is the fact that he wants Mexico to PAY for the wall. Why Mexico? I think all immigrants should be able to live in America no matter wha Donald Trump says!

If you would like to see my friend Toby's opinion on this here is his blog link: wpstobysi.blogspot.com

Tell me in the comments what you think about the wall. 

Trump u Later!

Athletics Zones!

Athletics Zones!

Hello bloggers on Tuesday the 26th of November my school went to Athletics Zones. It was a really big day and I had lots of fun. The Zones day was held at Three kings Reserve I did 400m,100m,75m,Shot-put and long jump. I did really well in Long Jump and Shot-put (sadly the People doing long jump did not tell us how far we jumped). And when it came to running I was so slow compared to everyone else they were so fast! My friend Toby competed in high jump and he thought he had a chance but at the end people were jumping 1.25 but he still managed to get 1.10 and my other friend Torian got 1.15 which was great because it was so hard. In the event there were 9 schools competing.

At the end of the day we had the group relays. And this was the best part. We didn't have enough time to do heats semis and finals so we did races based on time. First went the Junior girls who did an awesome job then the Junior Boys and then the Senoir Girls and finally Us the Seinor Boys at the end of the day we were all extremly tierd but the quior had to do there prefomance that same night!

Athletics Day!

Athletics Day 2019!

Hey bloggers when did you guys do Athletics? Well Waikowhai Primary School had there Athletics day on the 19 of November, Tuesday and we all had a blast. We had to do a series of events including High Jump, Long Jump, Shot Put, Sprints, 400 and 200 meatier dash and lots of other smaller actives. Everyone is in one of the four house groups which are Kea, Ruru, Pukeko and Tui I am in Kea and at the end of the day we have a big house relays. This Year Kea won 2 of the races we won the 2 senior races which are the most important in my opinion. It was an awesome day and I think did really well. For High Jump my favourite activity I made 1.11 which was really annoying because I have made 1.16 before but my friend got into zones an I am happy for him. I also made it into zones for lots of things like shot put and sprints which I am really exited for. I can't wait for Athletic Zones and maybe I might meet some other bloggers there.
