Summer Learning Journey

For this Summer Learning Journey activity I had to explain on my blog if I wanted to live in a big family, why or why not. I don't think that I would like to be in a family because: my house will be packed and more than 2 people would be sharing a room, older siblings might pick on me and I might have to take care of younger siblings. Something interesting I learnt was that back in the 1800s amount of children parents would have were 7 - 9.

For this Summer Learning Journey I drew a picture of me doing my future job. I decided to use google drawing and google drawing tools. My dream job is to be an architect because you get to create and build so many buildings and other unique things. I did take a while to complete this drawing and I hope it looks good.

For this Summer learning Journey I had to compare, contrast and find the similarities of my house and a wharepuni (a place where maori people slept in). I decided to create a venn diagram. An interesting fact I learnt was that the roofs of a wharepuni are thatched.

For this Summer Learning Journey activity I watched a video of a Waka Ama race (a sporting event that involves wakas racing). After I had watched the video I had to explain on my blog whether I would want to be in one of a waka ama race one day, why? or why not?

I would want to be in a Waka Ama race because I would like to experience what it feels like to travel through water at such a fast speed in a waka.
