Summer Learning journey day 1 week 2

Hey there bloggers, I'm back!

Today is the 1st Day of week 2 of the Summer Learning Journey. I thin that I am making good progress so at because  am doing all the activities to the standard that I can. I hope you enjoy my work that I have been doing, here is the first activity that we had to do!

In New Zealand we have many beautiful beaches and stunning waterfalls. One of the most spectacular waterfalls is called Kitekite and it is located in Piha, a small village west of Auckland. Tourists and locals flock to Piha during the summer season to enjoy the waterfall, the local beach, and the great surf. Have you ever tried surfing? Although I have never surfed many of my friends have and they absolutely love it. In fact, it is their favourite summer activity! What is yours?

For this activity, please take a picture of yourself doing one of your favourite summer activities. It could be anything! Here is a picture of one of our team members (Laura) doing one of her favourite summer activities.

I think that my favourite summer activity is probably exploring new places and surfing. I do a lot of exploring but not so much of Surfing. In fact, I have only been Surfing once and that was from school and I really enjoyed it and I want to go surfing another time. I like Surfing because its a really fun activity to do and its something that is tricky and first and you sort of have to keep practising until you can surf like pro. I like exploring because I learn about new things and its fun too because of the scenery and you can take good photo's too! Here are some photo's!

For the second activity we have to do this!

Every year approximately 7500 people arrive in Taupo, New Zealand to compete in a one-day cycling race around Lake Taupo. The race route is 160 km in length. Participants can choose to compete in the full race or the half-race (80 km). Let’s imagine that you were given a free ticket to compete in the Lake Taupo Cycle Challenge next year and you were able to bring three people with you as your ‘support crew.’ Who would you bring with you?

If it was me, I would choose my son, Aronui, as one of my supporters because he’s really funny and energetic. I think that he would make sure that I had a great time and that I spent the entire day laughing and smiling. I would also choose my sister, Leigh, because she is very strong and fast. Thirdly, I would choose my co-leader, Hazel, because she is very organised and would make sure that we followed the trail and didn’t get lost!

On your blog, list the three people you would like to have on your Lake Taupo Cycle Race Support Crew. Tell us why you have chosen each person.

I think that if I got to bring 3 people I would bring my Mum, Dad and Jedi. I would bring my Mum and Dad because they have always been there when I felt nervous and the same for Jedi because she is an amazing friend and I think they would give me more motivation too!

For the bonus activity we have to of this!

On your blog, write out each fact and in CAPITAL LETTERS beside the fact, write the word ‘TRUE’ if it is a true fact or ‘FALSE’ if it is not true.

True or False?
