Tiny house

Would I want to live in a Tiny House one day?
When I heard about Tiny Houses I thought, ¨Tiny Houses sound way to small, I would rather live in a regular sized house¨, But then I saw a video with tiny houses featured in it. The look so cute and miniature, also not as pricey as bigger houses. After watching that video my mind changed, I would love to have a Tiny House of my own.
What would you want? Tiny or large? Why/Why not?

Code.org

Code.Org is an app to code, every online game you play has been coded. Codes are like instructions, so when people make codes the game follows them to show you what to do.
I went onto code.org to do some coding, code.org is heaps of fun. I recommend you go and try it out. Here is a picture of Code.org while I was playing on it.
Would you play on Code.org?

I see.....

In this picture...... What do you see?    I see a......
tower that is on fire, and then the sky has big flowing waves. With bright stars drifting round the shining sun. I also see a quiet town where all living creatures are sleeping peacefully.

4 Websites

For the Summer Learning Journey we had to pick four websites that help our learning.
This slideshow has my four things, what are your four?

Aboriginal Australians & The Inuit people

Here are some facts about the Aboriginal Australians and the Inuit people.
Aboriginal Australians.
Fact One:
Australia's first people - known as Aboriginal Australians - have lived on the continent for over 50,000 years. Today, there are 250 distinct language groups spread throughout Australia.

Fact Two:
All Aboriginal Australians are related to groups indigenous to Australia. However, the use of the term indigenous is controversial, since it can be claimed by people who descend from people who weren't the original inhabitants of the island. Legally, "Aboriginal Australian" is recognised as a person of Aboriginal of Torres Strait Islander descent who identifies as an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander and is accepted as such by the community in which he (or she) lives.

Inuit People.
Fact One:
The majority of their population lives in 51 communities spread across Inuit Nunangat, the Inuit homeland encompassing 35 percent of Canada's landmass and 50 percent of its coastline. They have lived in their homeland since time immemorial. Their communities are among the most culturally resilient in North America. Roughly 60 percent of Inuit report on ability to conduct a conversation in Inuktut (the Inuit language), and our people harvest country foods such as seal, narwhal and caribou to feed our families and communities.

Fact Two:
There are four Inuit regions in Canada, collectively known as Inuit Nunangat. The term "Inuit Nunangat" is a Canadian Inuit term that includes land, water, and ice. Inuit consider the land, water, and ice, of their homeland to be integral to their culture and their way of life.

Did you know these facts?

A Whakatauki

This Summer Learning Journey task is to pick one out of the seven Whakatauki. I picked:
Ehara taku toa i te toa takitahi engari he toa takitini.
Which means, I come not with my own strengths but bring with me the gifts, talents and strengths of my family, tribe and ancestors.

My book review

Summer Learning Journey book review.
My book review is on the story Guts, by Raina Telgemeier.
Here is a little bit about the story.
One day Raina was feeling really sick her and her family thought it was just the flu, but eventually it turned into something way bigger. Raina was getting sick because she had a fear of vomiting. She stopped eating and gave all her food to her friends at school, but after going to therapy she starting getting over her fear of vomit.

What story would you do your report on?

The magic of Harrison's cloak

For the Summer Learning Journey we had to write a short story.
My story is about a boy who has a magic cloak.

Harrison was your average boy, but he had a cloak, not your regular cloak, a magical cloak. He wore it everywhere. One day as he wore the magical cloak he saw a rip in a seam, he decided not to worry and just stitch it back up at home.
Once Harrison got home he fixed the broken seam and took his cloak for a spin. He went for a stroll down the road to the local market. He noticed an old lady who was all flustered, since Harrison was very considerate he asked what the matter was. "Excuse me, what seems to be the problem?"
"Why, my cat got stuck up in that tree!" "Do not worry I can get your cat out of that tree, No problem".
Harrison pushed a button on his cloak and then he started to float. He floated all the way to the cat up in the tree and then he swept the cat out of the tree, back to solid ground.
                          The End
What would your story be about?

Rosa Parks

For many years people have been separated because of their skin colour, people like Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Jr believed that this was not right.

The problem back in the day was that black and white people were separated - they went to different schools, used different toilets, and sat in different parts of a bus, as well as different sections of a restaurant.
This is called 'Segregation'.

Rosa Parks (in 1955) got on a bus in Alabama, (United States of America) and once the bus was full, she refused to give up her seat for a white passenger.

The actions from people like Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Jr are instrumental in changing the way that African Americans were treated in the United States.

Climate change

For the Summer Learning Journey we had to write down somethings that the School Strike for Climate Australia have been saying about Climate Change. Then we had to put a picture of me doing something to help deal with Climate Change.
Here are some of the things that are from the School Strike for Climate Australia website.

They are school students from cities and towns across Australia. Most of them have never met in person before but are united by their concern about the planet.

They are striking from school to tell our politicians to take our futures seriously and treat climate change for what it is - a crisis.

Politicians can show us that they care by taking urgent action to meet their demands.

                    Their demands
1. No new coal, oil and gas projects, including the Adani Mine.
2. 100% renewable energy generation and exports by 2030.
3. fund a just transition and job creation for all fossil- fuel workers and communitys.

Climate Change is one of the biggest problems facing the world and it is not being addressed quickly enough.

Here is a picture of me taking reusable bags to the supermarket.
What do you do to help deal with Climate Change?

A journal entry as Nelson Mandela

For the Summer Learning Journey we had to put our feet in Nelson Mandela's shoes, and imagine we are in jail. Living like Nelson Mandela.

2/1/20
Today was rough breaking concrete into gravel is killing my back, and I keep finding concrete in between my toes. I feel absolutely exhausted. My fingernails have dust all under them and my heels have blisters for miles.
My jail cell is like a giant block of concrete with steel metal bars and a *boulder with a sheet on it. Tomorrow we have an even harder job making breakfast and then I, just me, have to do all the laundry and worst of all break more concrete. I wonder if one day this prison will get a little
more pain free.
I look across the the rows of other people in their blocks of concrete, and see them writing in their journals. I see one guy with scrapes full of gravel, the scrapes are from heavy lifting all that concrete blocks.
My uniform has got stains and rips everywhere so that means it is freezing. The guard just came past he said "Lights out" so I guess more writing tomorrow night.
Aloha Journal, more of my day of stories tomorrow.


Do you like my story?

Dear Jacinda Ardern

For the Summer Learning Journey we had to write a letter to Jacinda Ardern about an issue.

Dear Jacinda Ardern,
I have a problem not a huge one just a little one.
Why can' t we sleep in on a school day, we have to go to school for five days on a seven day week, every week, and then eventually we get holidays. Teachers teach our brains but the are not thinking about giving us a 30 minute break every school day. So we can come to school all bright and awake, so we do not look sleepy and barely remember what the teacher just said.
Please just consider a half hour for sleeping in.
Most sincerely Jennah

What problem (issue) would you discuss with Jacinda Ardern?
