Summer Learning Journey
If I was a superhero
Limi's story

If I was a superhero and had to choose 3 super powers of my choice it would be very easy. One superpower I would choose would have to be invisibility (the power to go invisible), I would want that super power because it would help me when sneaking up on "bad guys", giving me the advantage to capture them with ease. Another superpower I would have would be to read minds, I would have this superpower so that when questioning "bad guys" I would know if the person is lying or not, and the last superpower I would have, would to have super speed. I would want super speed because if I was chasing after "bad guys" I would be able to catch up to them really fast.

Super powers:
1. Invisibility
2. Read minds
3. Super speed

Summer Learning Journey
The day I helped my friend
Limi's story

When I was younger I made a really big decision which I, and many other people thought was very brave. When I was in primary (year 5 or 6)  it was the time of the year where we had to run laps around our local area for school. On that day I decided to run with my friend Heather. Heather and I were good friends so when I had the opportunity to keep her out of danger I did. our school being on top of a little hill, we raced up with all our might. Being really tired Heather made her way in front of me. Almost to the school gate she ran faster, and so did I, then all of a sudden I saw it. A car at full speed was reversing out of its driveway without looking, and my friend didn't even know. That's when I knew I had to do something, I knew that if I yelled out to her it would be too late so instead I leaped ahead and pushed her out of the way. Unfortunately I was hit by the car and only suffered minor injuries, but I was able to save my friend from getting hurt and I gained a cool story.

Activity 1: Flying Solo - Day 2

Day 2 : 17 December 2019 - Up in the air

Activity 1 : Flying solo

Jean Batten and Amelia Earhart are two famous women know both for their great achievement of being first women to complete some amazing solo flights, that no one had ever yet achieved. Although although both women being solo flyer, Jean batten was well known for her several-record breaking solo flight and was also the first ever person to fly solo from England to New Zealand, while Amelia Earhart was known for being the first ever woman to complete a non-stop solo flight from Canada to Ireland. While Jean and Amelia both made their success during the 1930's, Amelia's travels were cut short due to her sudden disappearance by the Howland island in 1937 (aged 39) , while Jean lived a life where parties where thrown in her honour till she also passed away in 1982 (aged 73). Jean Batten being born in NZ and Amelia Earhart being born in America, have both brought great pride and honour to their countries and will both be remembered for their amazing achievements.

The SPCA is a very popular charity that handles with animals in many local areas. This organisation helps with many things like, animal cruelty prevention, animal rescue and even animal justice. Not only do they help animals, but they also help educate most of the community too. For example on their website provides a "SPCA kids education portal" which was a program designed to educate young kids to support children’s learning about animal welfare and responsibility towards animals, whilst developing children’s respect, understanding and compassion for all living creatures. animal rehabilitation is also another thing that the SPCA does, which helps with providing animals with essential care and medical care to animals in need, while also doing routine health check ups, vaccination, desexing and other useful things. Although I have only named only a few things that the SPCA charity helps with, you can find out many more information on their site: SPCA site

Activity 2 : Discovering Aotearoa


For the 15 years that Ive been alive I have proudly represented my cultural sides. Although I was born in NZ my great grandparents came from the islands (just like Kupe).

On my mothers side I come from a small Island called Niue and on my fathers side a more popular island called Tonga. A very small village in Niue called Hakupu is where my grandfather was born, but as time went on he eventually moved to NZ, met my grandmother and had my mother. the youngest of 7. Although life was a bit different for my father and his parents. My grandparents met on the Island of Tonga, where they had 3 kids, my father being the second eldest, they lived in Kolomotu'a for a number of years after the birth of my father, then at the age of 5 my father moved with his parents to NZ. In 2004, many years after my mother and father met, my mother gave birth to her 3rd child... Me.

Activity 1: Setting sail - Day 1

Day 1: Monday 16th December - Explorers

Activity 1 : Setting sail

If I was ever invited to join Nainoa for 3 weeks at sea, i would be super excited but still really scared. For food I would pack me Apple, Bananas and oranges, good amounts of apple and bananas but mostly oranges because they are not only nutritious but they can also last a long time. I would also take bottles of water, because water is a basic living necessity which we all need, even though we will be surrounded by water, it wouldn't be the best idea to drink that, so by taking water I can stay hydrated and also they can last longer than 3 weeks. I would also take some canned foods like spaghetti, baked beans and (canned) fruit salad, because like my other choices they last a good amount of time until opened or eaten and they don't need a refrigerator or freezer. Other foods i would bring are nuts (also the ones with dried fruits), like almonds or cashews because they not only also have lots of nutrition but you can get lots that will last a long time. The last 2 things I would take would have to be packs of noodles and packs of chips, I chose these last two because like every other thing they last a very long time and because they are very yummy.

Every food choice i have chosen was because they have a good amount of expiration date (or when they rot) and because they would give me a good amount of energy. Not only that but they would be nice to eat during a long 3 weeks at sea.

My food list:

1. Apples

2. Bananas

3. Oranges
4. Water
5. Spaghetti

6. Baked beans

7. Nuts

8. noodles

9. chips

10. fruit salads (canned)
