Winter Learning Journey Day 2

Winter Learning Journey Day 2#

I will be completing the bonus task for the Winter Learning Journey. I was asked to design a simple logo for the next Summer Olympic Games. The Olympic games will be held in Tokyo, Japan 2020. 

This logo at the top represents Tokyo. The flower is representing their culture and the 5 rings connected at the bottom of the Tokyo 2020 represents the Olympics.

Milo of Kroton

Activity Number Three 2#

* Milo of Croton was a 6th century BC Greek wrestler.

* The date of Milo's death is unknown.

*Among other tales, he was said to have carried a bull on his shoulders and to have burst a band about his forehead by inflating the veins of his temples.

No Girls Allowed In The Olympics

Activity Number Two 2#

During the ancient Olympic Games, men were allowed to compete in the events but women were not. In fact, women were often forbidden from even watching the games. My opinion is that this rule is not fair to the girls. Even if they let the girls in to watch and show their sportsman ship to the competitors would be awesome.

Inquiry Rm2 2016 Flax/Harakeke

For the past 2 weeks Team 5 has been learning all about the four different wakas. These are the four teams Hokulea (Green) Hikianalia (Yellow) Te-aurere (Red) and Hinemoana (Blue). Last week every team 5 student go to fill out a form there are 5 choices Wool & Nail art with Mr Wiseman, Flax/Harakeke with Miss Clark, Crayon & Dye art with Mrs Tele'a, Sculpturing with Miss Berry and Logo design with Miss Muliaumasealii.

I am in Flax and Harakeke with Miss Clark, today we got to make a canoe out of paper and cardboard because we weren't able to make a canoe out of flax because it was raining, so we weren't able to go and pick our harakeke. The following Thursday we went to pick our Harakeke, but time ran out so the next day we got straight into making our flax canoes.

Winter Learning Journey

Activity Number One 1#

              Today we got to do our first activity for the Winter Learning Journey. Our first activity was to pick a sport then we had to explain why we chose that sport. The options were running, wrestling, boxing, pankration, horse racing and pentathlon. I have chosen horse racing because I love riding horses and the other reason why I chose horse racing is because, I love trying new things.

Kiwi Kids News Read Off

Today my literacy class had to finish off all of our literacy work from the past few weeks here is a presentation about Kiwi Kids News Read Off.

Literacy This Week 2016 29/6/16

For the last few weeks Mr Wiseman's Literacy class has been reading a book called BFG. Every day Mr Wiseman, read's the BFG to us for 20min, so far we are nearly to the end of the book. There is a girl named Sophie she met the BFG (Big Friendly Giant) she thought he was really scary but when she got to know him she got used to him. Half way through the story Sophie and her new friend the BFG had to warn the queen, so they made the queen have a bad dream come true.

Then after we read the BFG Mr Wiseman tells us to have a "2min stretch" then we get straight into our literacy. First we read the whole journal then we have to complete our reading presentation. After we have worked our way through the presentation and after we have read the book, we go to the teacher (Mr Wiseman).

This week for writing we have been using personification and similes to make a poem up. Similes, If you don't know what similes are then here are some examples, As slow as a snail, As fast as a cheetah, As tall as a giraffe. Personification, If you are wondering what is Personification, well here are some examples of Personification, the wind whistled throughout the day, the wind yells while blowing, the car danced across the icy road. That's what personification is.
