The study of Aotearoa.

By Anonymous -
Wake up, it's the second day of Aotearoa!

Jokes, you know, this post and the previous blog post are in the Summer Learning Journey, sorry for not explaining from before. If you're wondering 'What's the Summer Learning Journey?', it's basically a competition to reach the most points by... blogging of course! There are prizes for the winners, that's all for now.

Let's move on to the 'second' day.

You probably all know New Zealand consists of two main islands, the North and South. Approximately 77% of the New Zealand population live in the North Island.
Most of us in the North Island (me, Summer Learning Journey, friends & family) live in Auckland, though it seems Auckland is the biggest city in NZ, Wellington is the main capital of the country.

Auckland is a great, wonderful places that's actually full of diverse structures, you might see trees near houses and city structures. It's also got cinemas, cafes, museums, and most exciting of most all, protected islands! I know, it sounds not exciting, but some islands like Rotorua Island is open to the public, this gives you the opportunity to learn about NZ natives and epidemics, and there are towers and even beaches.

In Auckland I live in Three Kings, I'm going to move to Henderson, but currently I'm in Three Kings. It's usually a deadly quiet neighbourhood, sometimes I think we're the noisy ones. My home is near a supermarket called 'Countdown', in case you didn't know what's Countdown. Countdown is green. My home is surrounded by compact, green bushes and trees.

And that's all for the 2nd day (jokes, again!), the next blog post is will be a freezing, frost-biting shock. It will be a brain-freeze once you read it. See you later!

    Kia ora Karl,

    My name is Rachel and I am working with Megan and Cia on the Summer Learning Journey (SLJ) programme this year. It is great to see that you have been participating in the SLJ this summer. I really enjoyed reading all three of your posts. You have a great sense of humour! Like you, I also live near a Countdown grocery store and the bush. In fact, our house backs onto a little park and you can go walking through the forest without seeing anyone or hearing anything. It is really peaceful. Do you ever go for walks through your local neighbourhood?

    I hope that you and your family have a wonderful holiday season. Do you have any special plans? We are all going to drive to MOTAT (the Museum of Transport and Technology) tonight to see their Christmas light display. We try to get there every year as I grew up in Canada and am used to seeing Christmas lights everywhere!

    I will be online each day over the break and will look out for more posts from you. I really hope that you're able to share some more with us and keep us both learning and entertained over the holiday!

    Bye for now,

    Rachel :)

Hello. Why are you checking Karl's blog you naughty boy/girl? Oh, if you want to read Karl's blog, how about an answer to little riddle... 1.Most of the wonders and mysteries lie here. 2.I can feel the intense pressure anywhere. 3.It is a very dark, dangerous and cold place. 4.Things must depend on their own or/and other things around it. 5.It is an extensive place. 6. Lots of things that are impossible also lie here. JK! This week we are working on using descriptive language by sharing our writing straight onto our blog.  The challenge we have is to describe a place using only six sentences. After reading the description you need to guess the place that has been described. It would really help if you say what clues helped you come to this conclusion. Also, did you answer my riddle? Hmmm?

Persuasive writing

Hey! Read this because it will have all you wished for! Just kidding, but over couple of weeks we have been working for a pink beanbag (The best you will ever have). We had to use persuasive writing to convince people to buy it (We are not selling for real.). Then we used Google Drawing to advertise the "most amazing beanbag". Here is mine.

The first week of Technology

Hey guys! In this blog post, we had a 'Technology Rotation'. What is the Technology Rotation, you ask? Well, we just move from one class to another. First, we have Technology Rotation in my class, Waitemata. We had to do a 'Technology Challenge'. We have to make group of 3. The objective of this activity is to use materials and get a marble as far away from the table as you can, while it is in level with the table. The materials are straws, one plastic cup, a card, scissors, 2 metres of tape (We can cut it in half so we get 2 metres), yarn, and a marble. We were supposed to have toothpicks but my group managed to survive without it. I'll tell you how it went; Me, Ishaan , and Tyson  were just making a plan, I was thinking of cutting a hole in the plastic cup but my group no. Then we got it, kind of. Tyson put a material down on the table, but Ishaan said no (I can't really remember what happened). So we got ice block sticks, and fastened it with some ta
