WLJ: Poster! Activity 5

Winter Learning Journey: Poster

Week 1, Activity 5

Kia ora, Malo e lelei, Talofa Lava, Greetings to all and Welcome back to my blog. Today I'll be blogging to you, the last activity of my Winter learning Journey for WEEK 1. There will be more winter learning journey blog posts next week for WEEK 2, now back to my last WLJ activity for week 1. 

Task: Create a poster that shows 3 key quotes you have heard your parents/whanau say since your return to school in level 2. They must be quotes/sayings that you find helpful from your whanau. After that post on your blog with a written explanation for each quote.

Explanation

"Make sure to wash your hands before eating dinner!" by Mum - My mum always uses this quote to me and my siblings before we start eating our dinner because it's helpful for us to remember to stay clean by washing our hands just in case we have any germs and that we don't spread it to others.

"If you feel sick, stay home and don't go to school!" by Nana- 
My Nana always uses this quote to my little sister and cousin because they always got the flu or cold some days during school at level 2. So whenever she sees them cough a lot of have a really runny nose, she gives them this ginger medicine drink, puts them back into bed and tells them to stay home. She also does this with me and my other siblings sometimes.

"Sleep early for school!" - Nana and Mum
Both my Nana and Mum tells us these 4 words whenever it's a school night, they don't like us staying up long when it's a school night because they both know that when we sleep late, we won't get enough sleep and that would lead up to us  waking up very late and getting all cranky and tired for school the next day. If they catch us on our electronic devices they usually take it off us and give them back to us the next day.

Winter learning Journey: Fast as

Week 1, Activity 3

Malo e lelei and welcome back to my blog. Today I'll be blogging about my Winter Learning Journey activity 3. For our task today we have to create 4 similes, so here are mine...
If you can't see it properly it says:

1. My sister is as cheeky as a monkey
2. My mum's dress is as colourful as the rainbow
3. His eyes were as blue as the ocean
4. She ran to school as quick as a lightning bolt

Not only did we learn about writing similes but we also learnt interesting facts about this world famous athlete (sprinter). She also currently holds the record for the 100m sprint  and has been  crowned "World's Fastest Women" a record four times. Her name is Shelly-Ann Fraser- Pryce, she was born, raised and taught in Jamaica, a small country in the Caribbean.

WLJ: BFG, Activity 2

Winter Learning Journey: BFG

Week 1, Activity 2

Today's Winter Learning Journeys activity is about a famous author named Ronald Dahl but he wasn't just a author he was also a British writer, fighter pilot, spy and inventor. He is also best know because he writes a lot of funny and enjoyable books we all love to read including Charlie & the chocolate factory, Matilda, The Twits, Fantastic Mr Fox and much more. The book today we are focusing on is the BFG (Big Friendly Giant). 

What we have to do for part of today's activity is write a character description of the BFG that includes at least 10 descriptive words and a drawn picture of the BFG to go along with the 10 or more words. Hope you enjoy...

Character Description

The BFG is a Big Friendly Giant. He wears long ,green trousers, white baggy shirt and a old, brown sleeveless jacket over it. He also has big, floppy ears and he is a hundred times as tall as a giraffe. He is very old but really is a really great friend to have. He enjoys catching dreams and putting them in kids rooms during night time with his new friend sophie. He has a really bubbly and friendly personality that I think everyone would like, I would love to have a friend like him. Here is my drawing as well..

Winter Learning Journey: My Pepeha!

Week 1, Day 1 and Activity 1

Task Description: Today I have started the Winter Learning Journey 2020, this is the Week 1, Day 1, Activity 1 part. We had to create my own Pepeha. We could use any language, I chose Te Reo Maori.

Here is my own Pepeha I came up with, Hope you enjoy it. If it's too hard to read it, it says:
