SLJ (Summer Learning Journey) Day 2, Week 1

Activity 1 (Tāne Mahuta) (4 Points) Giants Among Us

Would I want visit Tāne Mahuta?

I do think that it is a very beautiful place to be taking adventures and I would love to come here in the future while I was doing researches about Tāne Mahuta it says that people don't usually call it Tāne Mahuta they also call it the Lord of the Forest. Well, the reason why I would like to come here is that it has many things to experience like the tree (Of course) and also it is surrounded by other beautiful nature.

Levin Here We Come!

Tauranga

Mount Maunganui is one of the mountains that I have been to in Tupou. My parents Maima & Lemuelu where married at Levin. The only reasons why my parents took us to Levin is because they wanted us (Me and my siblings) to see the places they have been visiting while they where getting married. I have really enjoyed the places that I have been visiting with my family. The places that I have been to in Levin was the Marai, Mount Maunganui, and Farms. One of my favorite activities that I have done was going to Mount Maunganui.

The Marai 

This Marai is where all my family members all slept in because my parents were getting married so they all had to sleep in the Marai. I have been in this Marai with my siblings and I find it a very small place to sleep in with a big family. When I got inside this Marai I see pictures of old people and thought that they were the ones that owned the Marai. First of all, we had to take off our shoes because we had to respect the Marai as if it was our own house. As we go to the kitchen where my family was having there feed was also a very small place to be eating.

Spiders Are Listening To You...

Well did you know that spiders can hear what you're saying? "Creepy right!" But what is the weirdest thing is that spiders don't have ears. The U.S and Israeli scientist where suppose to test them out for something else but then actually found out some alarming facts. The researches say that the little tiny hairs on the spiders are the course of why the spiders can hear. Spiders can only hear sounds from just a few centimeters away.

The World Of Samoa

The Flag Of Samoa

Where I come from is called Samoa, the most beautiful islands of all from my opinion. Well, have you ever been to Samoa? Well, you should because they have the most beautiful beaches. The capital letter of Samoa in Apia and also Savaii is the biggest island of seven islands in total. And for a fact it says that Samoa has been formed 7 million years ago which was way before your Great Great Great Grandmother and Grandfather has been born.

STOP THE PLASTIC BAGS!!

As I was on Kiwi Kids News I found out that the Government is going to banish plastic bags in the next 6 months. Who thinks that Plastic Bags should be gone, well I think so because it is killing our sea animals and our land. So we should obviously STOP using PLASTIC BAGS and use the useful ones so that it can make our world beautiful. Well, comment down below if you think we should stop using PLASTIC BAGS.

The Extraordinary House (Scary Version!)

long time ago the legend tells a lady named Annie lived here for 25 years. Alongside her husband (Norman), he had built the entire thing himself. They lived far, far away from the nearest town. They always spent a lot of time with each other and eventually, they grew old together. One day a teenage girl came by seeing signs saying. “GO BACK!” She got interested by why it was there.

The next day she went back. She arrived in the same spot to find the sign had surprisingly disappeared. After rubbing her eyes and taking another look, the sign reappeared. It was told that she fearlessly moved on only to find the house.’OUCHH!!! She had tripped on a rock.

After a while, the sun was setting and she was still yelling for help. It was no use. She pulled out her phone and discovered there was no signal. Something appeared in the distance. She tried to get up but eventually, her ankle has given her no rights to stand up. She looks back to what she had seen but there was no sign of the mysterious thing so she goes back to her phone and tries to get signal but there was no point. 

On the very day she has been staying in the same spot for 2 hours she had no signal and no one was around. She suddenly looks at the fence and sees two bodies hanging on the wire she panics and tries to get up but then ABRUPTLY…

Introductions

If you want to know how to be a good friend then I would be showing you
3 ideas of how to be a friend that everyone would love to have.

First Idea

The first idea of how to be a good friend is to give them respect. The
reason why this should be one of the ideas is because you never
know what they are going through in their lives so you should always
respect them. For example your friend just finished having a real hard
test and all they want is just to relax and then you come up and give
them a bad attitude towards that friend and that is not what your friend
would want.

Second Idea

A good friend should always stay by their side because a friend
should always know what is happening with that person. No one
would like to have a friend that will just leave them alone by themselves.
For example your friend is always having a bad day and you never knew
about it and you kept on leaving her alone how would you feel if that was
you. You wouldn’t like it would you so then you should always be with you
friends no matter what.  

Third Idea

What I would definitely want in a friend is that they are honest. Why
I think that is because friends should always tell the truth it is not fair
that they go of and start telling lies about that friend it’s just not fair at all so
you should always know if it’s the right thing to do. For example friends should
always be telling good things about you not bad ones because you won’t
know if it had something to do with you. So always be honest to your friends.

Conclusion

Their you have 3 ideas of how to be a good friend. I would be delightful if
you use these 3 ideas to how to be a good friend. If you know you haven’t
been doing these things then you should go up to your friends and do it.
And remember treat your friend as how you would want to be treated.

I got the opportunity to mark my own writing test and it was something very interesting to do cause we never get the chance to do it. As you can see we had to color code all our Statements into Yellow and our Explanations in Green and our Examples in Blue.
