Easter learning Journey: Week 2 Day 9 Activity 1 ( Special time at Easter )

On the Easter weekend we don't do much compared to other people. But What's very important for us is that we go to church on sunday because of the day jesus risen. But on Friday we usually watch easter movies just like we did last friday during this Easter lockdown. My younger siblings usually get an easter hunt outside at our backyard on sunday morning. On the days towards Easter sunday everyday we had a little service not to long like the ones at church but a bit shorter. In my family easter is mainly about jesus and the time he sacrificed for our sins. That's what my grandma always says it about jesus not chocolate. But like I said we don't do much.

One easter sunday morning we wake up get ready for the day, we then have a service like we do at church but shorter and just thanking the lord for what he has done for us. After that is done that's whenget to  see the excitement on my younger siblings faces well there doing there ester hunt. After they get there treats we all just watch movies and wait for the food that's getting prepared. On sunday we had a BBQ since it was a special occasion. Like I said it wasn't that much but we don't need it to be big.

Easter learning Journey: Week 2 Day 6 activity 1 ( Nau mai haere mai )

Hi to you all, I hope you guys are all having a great time at home and spending a lot of time with your family. Here is my task for Day 6 Activity 1 for my Easter learning journey. Feel free to check out the rest of the days of my Easter learning Journey. Todays task I had to create my own family tree listing my two sides of family. As you can see I've decided to share my family members from my parents and up. I've decided to include my siblings and I. Starting from my Dads side we have his parents, Willy and Fiana they both live in america. They were first living in tonga when my dad was little and then moved to america with my dads younger siblings. That's when my dads other siblings decided to move there as well a few years later. My dad comes from a family of 10 including him which sounds like a huge family I can't even memorise all of their names. My dad is full tongan and is from leimatua and kolomotua. Willy my dads dad is a child of Lusi and siusiua, His mum is the child of Daniela and Tupou. Moving on to my mom's side of her family, we have her mum and dad my grandparents- Tevita and ofa. I would say my mum is a bit samoan but mostly tongan. My mom's parents are both from tonga but my grandma is also samoan because her grandma is full samoan. My mum comes from a family of 6 including her. Her parents my grandparents live with me and my family here in nz.  I have many other cultures from my mums side but I just do the main ones. But here is my family tree I hope that you've learnt a little about me and where I'm from.

Easter learning Journey: Day 4 Activity 1 (Back for a moment!)

Hi to all you fellow viewers. Today install we have a task from my Easter learning Journey - Day 4 Activity 1. If you've haven't been keeping up with the first day for my Easter learning Journey I would check it out If I was you. So then you can see what type of tasks we do and the amazing learning and finding out about compelling locations around New Zealand. The whole point of this task was that I had to recreate the interior of my house which means that I had to make my house on google drawings using lines to make the out lines of everything in my house. I have no other way to explain it but I'm sure if you look at this screen shot I inserted it would make sense.What the teachers are asking is that If I'm looking at the floor map overlooking my house I'll have to think of what I'll want to improve in my house and things I would keep normal. Well to be honest I don't think my family would want to move any walls or bust them down I feel like they'll just renew it and make it look modern. That's probably what I would do as well. Maybe just do the simple because my house is okay how it is and there's no other way I could possibly change it. 

Easter learning Journey: Day 3 Activity 1 (Let's start Traveling)

Malo e lelei and hello, Thank you for coming and checking out this blog post you came on the right time. Today's task Is from my Easter learning Journey. As this is Day 3 Activity 1 I was instructed to look at these three locations Tane Mahuta, Karekare and Rangitoto Island. I had to go on google maps and mark these locations so then you can see where these places are at in New Zealand. As you may have seen already here is a screenshot I took of a good shoot showing the locations marked. I've checked out some amazing info and pictures of these Outstanding places. Let me tell you about each of these places. First I'll start with Tane Mahuta.

Tane Mahuta is a very beautiful location very relaxing and peaceful. Its photos taken by visitors are so eyes taking. At Tane Mahuta you can take lovely walks and hear the sound of birds chirping and the sound of wilderness, Isn't it 'Amazing'. They have quiet large trees making it way more fascinating and exciting. It's probably going to be a hard decision picking one place, Ow wait sorry I forgot at the end I am Supposed to pick one location I much rather visit but by the look of it its probably not going to be the easiest.

                                                                  

Next on the list is Karekare Beach . "OMG", how could this even get better. "This could be the win". This is Karekare beach it is located in a small coastal and settled in the northern of New Zealand.  This place gets many attractions because of the stunning water but whats way more shocking is when the water reflects the sky just like the photo. There are many surfers that come to this place to surf, I mean It is a good place to surf.

Last but not least Rangitoto. "Okay I can't".  But this is Rangitoto Island. Isn't it pretty. Rangitoto is a separate Island not attached to the main Island but I'm sure is close to Auckland. Now it's time for me to make my decision on which location I would rather prefer to go to...
Well I've made my decision and its Karekare beach. I've picked it because its waters look so calm and not that ruff.                         

                                         

Easter learning Journey: Day 2 Activity 1 (Our New Zealand flag - your flag of hope)

Task Description: Kia ora to those who are viewing this blog post. Hi, as you may know I've been participating in the Easter learning Journey, And this is Day 2 Activity 1. We were instructed to create our own flag. That had me thinking how do I even come up with a great flag that properly won't be better than the original one but I already new that. I couldn't really picture a flag I had in mind. I then started to make the outline of the flag because I had now time to waste. I then tried to be creative and crop the little square thing that was apart of the british flag since New Zealand is under the british flag. I used that but changed the rest. I used that maori leave to symbol Maori and I guess everything else. I still added the stars but In my size and added one more star to it compared to the original flag. I changed the background of the flag to white and found the flag a bit interesting. I actually really wanted to change the background of that piece on the flag which is the british one into a different colour because I thought it would probably look better. I couldn't do that so I had just left it the way it was.  I'm proud of the flag even though I think It wasn't the best but at least I gave it a go is all it matters.

Easter learning Journey: Day 1 activity 3 (Nau mai haere mai)

 Hi my name is Deborah If you don't know me greetings and nice to meet you. This is Activity 3 Day 1, For this task I've watched a video showing the most attractive places and things to do here in my home city and country Auckland New Zealand. After watching this video I found out a whole more things about my city. By watching this I have to pick three things I would pick to do. And what really caught my eye and I've never seen before is the Native rainforest of the Waitakere ranges. It looks like such a beautiful place to take walks and photos I mean I'm pretty shock even though I live here I've never new this place. This is first on my list because who would want to miss such a stunning place I mean I wouldn't. (Video here)

Something little about me is that I've never been to the museum in my entire life. Surprisingly not even once which sounds said. But this is where I would want to go. Here's a photo I thought was really pretty showing how it looks like at night. I've chosen this because I'm really interested in learning about the things stored in this museum. I mean there could be something about the pacific islands but I doubt that. Be I find this could be a great option since I've never been to the museum. 

My last choice on where to visit in Auckland is the one and only Sky tower. At the sky tower you can jump of it from different speed and also walk around it. But I would never ever do that in my entire life. Instead of doing that I would rather prefer to watch from the site viewing what ever you call it place. It must be an amazing view and looking at the stunning photos people take its breath taking like, OMG.

Easter Learning Journey: Day 1 Activity 2 (Nau mai haere mai)

Task Description: Hello, Kia ora and what many would say welcome back. This is Day 1 but the second activity for my Easter Learning Journey. In for to day we have this site we have to scroll through and look for three things to write about. Here are the three topics I've Decided to write about. If your wondering yes there is information about each topic but I have to write it in my own words.

Backyard Genius: Here is the first thing I found out about New Zealand. Later before Sir Ernest Rutherford Split the atom in the early Twentieth century many kiwis have been inventing and discovering amazing creations. Most of these inventions said by the info were made in these peoples homes and actually sound super creative and properly took a lot of thinking into there creations. To this day the tranquiliser gun, electric fences, the fastest motorbike in the world, freezer vacuum pumps, stamp vending machines, wide-toothed shearing combs, and the electronic petrol pump were a few of the things discovered here in new Zealand which is very interesting and fascinating to know that these things were made here in New Zealand Like, OMG.

Kiwis Love the great outdoors: Here in New Zealand we are proudly known for the beauty of our nature and outdoors. We have such stunning views that are over the top. Many visitors from around the world come here just because of the beauty of the mountains and high peeks. New Zealand has such amazing hiking areas all around Aotearoa. Many of our visitors always think of New Zealand as such a relaxing and beautiful country, I mean the outdoors are really eye catching. Not only the visitors from other country hike and adventure the outdoors but also us kiwis. Us Kiwis have grown a lot of passion towards outdoor adventuring. I don't know If you know this but only 15% New Zealand families own a boat. We've also have passion in outdoor activities so as, hiking, bush walks sports we love to play so as rugby and netball and many more. Taking long walks up our mountains can relate to the time a man called Sir Edmund Hillary the first ever person to reach the top of the tallest mountain in the world, Mount Everest. Sir Edmund Hillary is indeed a New Zealander. 

Mateship on the sporting field: This topic is talking about the friendship between men. And in other ways to say this is by New Zealand's most popular sport. In rugby the men all cooperate and play as a team. communicating and bonding in the game is a very strong part of rugby. Well there playing on the field you could look back to those time when All blacks were such a big team and managed to always have a good chance in winning the world cup. Rugby is surely the number one all time sports that have bring us back here in New Zealand the times when I use to watch the all black games with my family and all the excitement to this. All it matters is the friendship people build well playing this game.

Easter learning Journey: Day 1 Activity 1 (Nau mai haere mai)

   Hello and greetings, Today is the first task for my schools Easter learning journey I'm a bit late but I'm still going to continue it. As this is the first day for my schools Easter learning journey we are instructed to take photo of our self with an object or something we would take If we were to travel the whole of Aotearoa and the world. Here is a picture I inserted of me and my special object I've decided to pick. 





As you can see here is a  picture of me and my special object. It's very interesting that out of everything I could have picked I've picked a phone But is Supposedly supposed to be a camera but this could be something similar.
I've picked a camera because I could use it to take many photos of my adventure around the world. I can treasure these pictures so then when I look back at it I will remember the time I adventured the whole world. Just imagine going to the most famous resort's in the world, WOW.
