Today my classmates and I went to Tamaki College for technology. For technology we did food, for food we made Oreo Milkshakes. To make the delicious oreo milkshakes was a pretty easy process. After making the milkshakes we tested them, They were delicious but we just needed to calm down on the hershey's chocolate syrup.

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

Winter Learning Journey - Day 7/ Bonus Activity

Winter Learning Journey - Day 7
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.

Winter Learning Journey - Day 6
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/ Activity 1/ Activity 2/ Bonus Activity

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

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.
