Diary Entry 1

For the next six days I am going to be in Auckland and I thought why not share the experience with you.Each day i'm going to be writing a diary entry about the things I have done on that day. Today we haven't left yet but I still wrote an entry anyway:D

Diary Entry One

The Day Before

First of all Tomorrow I am going to Auckland and I'm nervous about going
on planes but I am excited but also sad because i'm going to miss my
friends but worst of all i'm going to be stuck with my sisters and and my
mum for a six days.

But before anything else let me tell you the real reason we are going.
So were going because I really wanted to go and see Ed Sheeran at
his concert but was soooo disappointed when I found out that he
wasn’t coming to Christchurch but that wasn’t going to stop me from
going.In the end we decided between Dunedin or Auckland and we
ended on agreeing on going to  Auckland which I was still very
happy about. Luckily I had been saving up enough money to pay for
me to go, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to go.

I'm Just so excited we are going to be doing so many cool things
there like the zoo,cat cafe,Motat museum thing,Rainbows End,
and going to Rangitoto island and Devonport and of course we
get to catch up with family while we are up there.But  best of all
we get free accommodation because we are staying with someone
and she has two dogs! And also how could I forget the ED SHEERAN CONCERT!!!!

I think i'm going to leave this entry Here but I am so
excited and I will be writing more entries each day bye.

ave been working on.

THE SAILING TRIP

Sailing Experience

It was an early friday morning when we left for our sailing trip at Roto Kohatu Reserve on Lake Rua and it was a lot of fun. When we walked out to the buses there was an old bus and then there was a double decker bus but I went on the normal bus and the seats were so uncomfortable.When we got there we were put into three groups and I was split up from all of my friends like always. After that the showed us how to put the boat together and then we had morning tea. Once morning tea was over I was in a group of three sharing the same boat but there could only be one person on the boat at once and there was only one boat on the water at a time and there was no wind so they had to drag us and there was about 8 groups of three. But after everyone had a turn they put all the boats on the water and the wind got up and both of my team members got bored of it so I got to have lots of turns. Also after a while there was huge gusts of wind and everyone's boat was tipping over but not mine I still remember the lucky number 29. After sailing we went for a swim and did some more sailing and then got changed and then I sprinted towards the double Decker bus and I was lucky enough to get on the top of the double Decker bus with Paige. After all it was a lot of fun and the most challenging part was trying to control the boat in the huge gusts of wind.

Journey Through Time

For four weeks  I am Going to be doing the summer learning journey about the history of New Zealand. This is the Third  week of my journey and the eleventh day.

Activity One

For this activity we have to listen to three song and then rate them favorite to least favorite.

#1 My first favorite would be 'I Need Your Love,' because it is very disco like.

#2 Then it would have to be 'Shes A Mod.'

#3 Then last it would be 'Sitting In The Rain.' But I Like The Guitar In It.

Activity Two

For this activity we have to write two things we like about the 1970s  fashion and two things you don't like about the 1970s fashion.

For me I like the layered skirts that they wore and the bright colors.

What I don't like is the skinny patterned pants and the collars that go all the way up their neck.

For four weeks  I am Going to be doing the summer learning journey about the history of New Zealand. This is the Third  week of my journey and the tenth day.



Activity One 

For this activity we have to describe our favorite TV show and add what the characters are and what channel is it on.

For me I found this hard because I don't really watch TV shows but when I do my favorite would be sponge bob square pants. There are lots of different characters like, Sponge bob,Patrick,Sandy,Mr Crabs and     . Unfortunately I don't remember what channel it is on but i'm pretty sure it is on Three.


Activity Two 

For this activity we have to read about the Beatles tour in New Zealand then write three interesting facts about their tour.

1. 21 of June 1964 was when the band arrived in New Zealand.

2.That the people were all crowding up in the roads from the airport to their hotel.

3. People stayed at night to try and sneak into the hotel.

Activity One 

For this activity we have to write down what we think about the one type of meat and three veg rule for dinner do we like the rule why or why not?

For me I like this rule because I like meat and I like having fresh veges especially mash potato and gravy. Also I like that rule because it means that I don't have to eat all the junk food for tea.

In the 1950s the population of New Zealand grew by 400,000 because so many people were having kids and the popular names for them were=
GIRLS BOYS

For the girls it would be = Lilly,Emily,Ella,Hayley 
For the boys it would be =Sam,Logan,Jayden

Activity One 

For this activity we have to pretend that we were alive in 1945 and we had to plan a party at your house to celebrate VE day.

If it was me I would have a big barbecue and invite everyone I knew to come over to have lunch and swim in the pool and stay to dance around and do some karaoke in the man cave and play cricket in the front yard.

Activity two 

For this activity we have to compare two different photos of dress styles and decide which one we would prefer and why?

For me I like the first photo because it looks cuter ans its a fitted shape and they have collars and buttons.
