Fighting with my sister

I once ran into my sister's arm

She started yelling at me like an alarm.

I stared at her with an ugly face

Her breath smelt, so I needed some space

That's when the abusing begun

I wasn't going down without a fight

But I knew that I had to run

She punched me in the face

I did the same too

I was about to run

But in the wall I flew

I opened my eyes

And saw one of my nieces fighting her

The other was in the corner yelling bite her, bite her

I’ve learnt my lesson

Never mess with my sister

Or we’ll make each other so ugly

And never get a Mr

Keep New Zealand Beautiful

Bonus Activity
I have learnt alot from this amazing experience! There were many things I didn't even know about New Zealand. I just think this was really amazing, I had a blast I really think this was the best part of my holiday, I was so happy that I was able to have my holiday but still keep learning I really loved it. This learning journey made learning so much fun, it was so fun I was really hoping it would go on for the last week too. My favourite bit was learning about different things that are here in NZ, and my least favorite thing was doing lots of typing, but overall I really loved it! I'm super excited for the next time we get to do this... I really hope it's soon because I can't wait! Right now i'm pretty much speechless so I found a video of a man who traveled the world and what he's doing is the feelings I had while going on this journey.

Native Aotearoa

Activity 1
As My stomach turned inside out
I started to doubt.
I didn't want to leave the boat ( waka )
I should say I have a sore throat!
Stepping on new land I fear for what's ahead
but it's too late to go back because we have already spread!

Activity 2
At Matariki you can watch fireworks, The kapa haka group perform and look at the 7 stars!
First you and your family can enjoy a lovely performance by the kapa haka group, they sing and dance and its all for free!
The second thing you can do is look at the 7 stars, using a telescope to help you see the stars in the sky.
And at the end of the day you can enjoy the bright colours in the sky as they set off a bunch of fire works!

Bonus Activity
From my opinion I really think that...

The First haka video came - #2
Because : I liked their formation but I couldn't quite hear them, as much as I could hear the second video.

The Second haka video came -#1
Because: I really liked their formation and the way that their movements were in sync, I also really loved the way that their voices over flooded the crowds cheering, I was just stunned.

The Last haka video came - #3
Because : It didn't look like they knew where to stand, they weren't as loud as the second video and it was also really short.

They were all so amazing but the second haka video caught my eye the best!

Winter Learning Journey - Day 5
One step at a time

Activity 1
Turning around my stomach turns inside out as I notice that I was separated from my group. As im shaking and biting my nails I gain the confidence to finally start moving to find my group. I slowly walk down the dusty narrow path I came from hoping I would see someone, anyone. walking for what seemed like forever towards nothing I hear a loud noise in the distance, I jump in fear and stat sprint down the path. Hearing the noise again I slow down and giggle, As I giggle I think to my self "you dumb it was just the sound of a bird leaving a tree/nest" then it goes off again but I was mistaken I start to nervously giggle before breaking down. sitting on the ground my heart drops when I hear footsteps coming closer and closer, then I realize it was one of my group mates. She picked me up and took me back to the rest of the group where they were waiting for me at the end of the trail.

Activity 2
Born and raised in New Zealand Rotorua, the famous actor Cliff Curtis has been featured in many rolls in The walking dead, live free or die hard, training day, blow and the NZ-made movies Boy and Whale rider. Before being a well know actor Cliff Curtis was featured in an oscar nominated film called The piano. In 2001 he nearly missed his flight from Auckland to LA to film the movie blow.

Bonus Activity
I would love to cycle the otago trail one day. It sounds really fun and cool, I really think that the views would be really beautiful and going out enjoying the sun, fresh air and getting a good exercise just all sounds too good to be true! It would be fun to just get outdoors and admire New Zealand for its true beauty.

Winter Learning Journey - Day 4

Swimming with the Sharks!

Activity 1

What did the people of Farewell spit do to help the wales? The beach that became a graveyard full of wales, the people tried hard to help the wales by covering them with wet t-shirts, towels or anything they were able to keep them wet with. People would get pots, pans, or anything that could hold water in it and they would use it for the wales by collecting water and pouring it on the wales or using it to wet the clothes/towels.They all made sure to keep them all wet, they made sure that their blow hole was clear and they also made certain that they kept clear of their tails.

Activity 2

1. To my understanding whale rider is a movie based upon a little girl that had a big story to tell. She was born a twin but lived as an only child, her twin brother had an unexpected death at birth and her mother died giving birth. It shocked their entire family because her brother was meant to be the new born chief of their tribe, but since he had did and she lived their koroua ( grandfather ) does not want her. since there was no new born chief of the tribe they have to start again a put a bunch of challenges for the young boys of the tribes to take on and who ever comes out on top is the new chief leader that will lead their tribe out of darkness. 

2. From watching 2 of the Whale Rider trailers I would mark them a 5 because they were both really interesting! I really liked the way that the first 5 seconds of the trailer I was instantly hooked. I was so hooked I just wanted to watch more, I'm so curious, I wonder whats going to happen?

Bonus Activity

I strongly believe that we should banned fishing in Farewell split! because it can save lots dolphins/fish.

Winter Learning Journey - Day 3Wild eyes

Activity 1I adopted a Kea, He is a native bird to New Zealand or also know as a mountain parrot. I named him Whiti, he loves to eat carrion, leaves, berries, nectar and insects. Whiti's species ( kea ) is a large species of parrot of the family Strigidae found in forested and alpine regions of the South Island of New Zealand. The Kea bird is a very colourful buir much like a parrot but not exactly the same. 

Activity 2I strongly believe that we should get rid of all the predators from New Zealand. I believe this because...1. Some of the predators kill our native birds, predators like possums and rats2. Rats eat people cords, go into their house and eat their things.3. All predators of New Zealand should disappear because most of them endanger our native birds.

Winter Learning Journey - Day 1
100% Pure New Zealand

Activity 1

1. Around 1000 years ago, according to the maori the first Man explorer to reach New zealand was Kupe. Using the stars in the sky and the ocean currents he navigated his waka (canoe) through the pacific ocean, all the way from Hawaiki. From his homeland hawaiki, it was thought that he arrived at the Hokianga Harbour in the North island.

2. In New Zealand many of us have grown a passion of going to the great out doors. With so much coastline it not surprising that most of us love the ocean. Fun fact, there are over 10% of New Zealand families that own a boat. its no surprise when we dominate world yachting, kayaking, windsurfing and rowing scene. hiking, camping, fishing, bush and beach walks are other popular outdoor activities they we love to do.

3. The people of New Zealand are very welcoming people. We are relaxed, friendly and loving people, that will be the highlight of your trip if you come to New Zealand ( the people). Starting a casual conversation with the locals in bars or restaurants can help you get insider details about the place you are at. they can also help you choose the best places to go.

Activity 2

1. The Auckland museum is one of the places a family or couple should visit. it shows us more about our cultures, and the histories of the war there is a ginormous wall dedicated to the soldiers they had passed during the battle. At the museum there are other cool yet mysterious things still to discover.

2.  In the North Island you can have a great experience at the lions rock. the lions rock is a great place to visit if you are looking forward to having a swim, taking a long/short walk, taking a dive under the deep blue sea or even just having a nice time fishing or surfing.

3. A great day out with the family would be to go to the zoo. Filled with many lovely, adorable and friendly animals its a place were the children would love to go. while making new animal friends they are also given the chance to feed them as well.

4. Another nice day out with the family would be going to rainbows end. rainbows end is packed with lots of fun rides for the whole family to enjoy. during the day if you want a little break the you can have a seat a watch some performances that they put on for you.

5. At Auckland city there are many adventurous things to do one of them is it bungee jump off the sky tower. with the tower at 220 meters tall the edralin running through your body is mind blowing. Many prefer not to bungee jump off the sky tower, but they instead watch inside the tower.

Bonus Activity

For my flag I chose the colours blue, black, green and white. blue because it represents the ocean and the pacific people. black because it is one of our national colours. green because it represents New Zealand and how we are all down to earth. white because it is one of our national colours and it represents the europeans/pakeha people. I chose the two leaves because they remind me of the ferns.
