End of Year Blog Post Analysis

This week LS2 have been creating their blog post goals for 2019. I have created a graph showing how many blog blog posts I have posted this year in total. In January I have set a high amount of blog post for 23 posts. The reason why is because I have posted some of my Summer Learning activities. My goal for this year is to try and post more than 300. To achieve this goal I should post 5 posts a week. Unfortunately I did not achieve my goal since I had some drafts in my blog. I know have an amount of 139 blog post this year. I have also created a video with the help of Mele that talks about my goal for this year and the amount of posts I had in total. Blog Post Analysis

The Colombian Exchange - Summer Learning Journey Day 3 ( Activity 3 )

For the last activity for day 3 activity 3 I am to talk about a person that bring a significant impact on my life. This was a very hard decision because I have many people I want to talk about. I choose to talk about my mum. My mum is a very hard working women. She is a kind women and choose to become a teacher for the disable people. Working their has also put a big impact on the children that don't have the abilities to do things we can do. She always is very busy especially with her business. She is getting many orders and has to cook dinner lunch and breakfast for us everyday. She is always helping me in so many things. I look up to her in so many ways and I am proud to call her my mother.

Interviewing - Summer Learning Journey Day 3 ( Activity 2 )

This week it is the Summer Learning Journey teaser week. I have completed activity 2 for day 3. For this activity I have interviewed 3 friends and asked them what they are proud of. Me and my family are proud for myself. The reason why is because two weeks ago I got baptised. It was scary but I got through it. The next day out of 50 people I was chosen to read the word for the preacher. I was really shy but I am so happy that I accomplished this goal that has been waiting for me for about 3 years. Here are the three people I have interviewed:

Mele: " I am very proud of my mum who graduated from university to become a midwife, because I too believe that i'll be following her footsteps sometime in the future. People think that I do this, just because my mum is, but the reason why is, because I know that i'll be able to manage the working conditions, skills and knowledge. As a young child my mum didn't really have enough time to give us a great living style, but as I get older, I'll have the ability to give take care and give her the best future".

Taheesha: "I am proud for being confident and saying my speech in front of 2 judges and other students"

Joel: "I am proud of my sister finishing college and going on to university because she has worked so hard to get a scholarship and she has stayed committed to her subjects."

Water Project - Summer Learning Journey Day 3 ( Activity 1 )

This week is the Manaiakalani Summer Learning Journey Teaser Week. The theme for this year is called "change makers". This theme will help us learn more about incredible people who have changed the world. For this activity I worked collaboratively together with Eyaka, Ellenora, Mele and Angelene. To complete this activity we were challenged to answer a few questions about the water project: what is the goal of the organisation, where do they work and what they have achieved. Before answering these questions, we watched a video to find out more about the water project. Something interesting that I found out was that approximately 1 billion people have no access to clean water.

The Greatest of all time - Summer Learning Journey Day 2 ( Activity 3 )

This week for the Summer Learning Journey it is the teaser week. We have decided to do the teaser week for practise for the real activity's. For this activity I was to pretend that I was Garry Kasparov. He has been the top-ranked chess player for 15 years straight ( 1985 - 2000 ). He is also known as G.O.A.T which means greatest of all time. He had started playing chess when he was 17 years. He practised every single day and hour. Here is mys story:

Greetings,
I am Garry Kasparov and I am and chess player. I have been top-ranked chess player for about 15 years straight. Which is from 1985 - 2000. The fun part was that my family let me stay home so that I could keep on having practise but I didn't get time to see my friends. I lost them but my biggest regret was not spending time at all with my family. I have come so far but I know that all of my practice was used when I won my first chess game. Playing chess is not easy but it also is a game where you think a lot. When you play you have to make sure you make the right move. Winning 15 years in a row is my biggest accomplish.
