Well, hello folks! Friends & Families! Patrick here. A bit behind schedule but that's all right. So, Sophie Pascoe. You know? The para-swimmer?

Well, hello folks! Friends & Families! Classmates! Patrick here. I have a busy schedule ahead because of my broken hand. Have you heard of Valerie Adams?

Summer Learning Journey - Week 1 | Day 3 - TEAM PLAYERS | Activity 1 - Rugby Superstars

Well, hello folks! Friends & Families! Classmates! Patrick here. Good morning everyone! This morning's task is about having superpowers. Do you know Jonah Lomu? The youngest to be picked in the All Blacks at 19 years old? He was very good at rugby and he had 63 caps and 37 tries. Remember the old captain of the All Blacks Richie McCaw? The person who got the Halberg award. These two are superstars and I believe they have some sort of magical superpower inside of them to boost them. Hmm... I wonder if I was a superhero with magical powers. Well, that is part of the task. I'll name 3 superpowers I'd have and why. Hope you enjoy!

Summer Learning Journey - Week 1 | Day 2 - UP IN THE AIR | Activity 3 - Miracle On The Hudson

Well, hello folks! Friends & Families! Classmates! Patrick here. The final activity of the day is about bravery. Mr. Chesley Sullenberger was an airline pilot for around 30 years. 10-11 years ago he was famous for landing his A320 safely in the middle of Hudson river. The cause was from his 2 engines losing electricity thus shutting them off. All 155 on board were safe. The miraculous event is now known as the "Miracle On The Hudson". One time, I had to do something brave as well. I'll go ahead and show you. Hope you enjoy!

Summer Learning Journey - Week 1 | Day 2 - UP IN THE AIR | Activity 2 - One Small Step For Man

Well, hello folks! Friends & Families! Classmates! Patrick here. This activity involves winding time back to 1969. Neil Armstrong, together with Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins successfully landed on the moon. The dangerous achievement was made. I'd love imagine what Neil Armstrong's reaction would be. But today, I will cosplay as Neil Armstrong taking a step into the inevitable achievement. I will tell my reaction in a poem. I wrote a haiku. If you don't know what a haiku is, it is a short poem consisting of three lines. The 1st line has 5 syllables, the 2nd line has 7 syllables and the 3rd line has 5 syllables. Hope you enjoy!

Summer Learning Journey | Week 1 | Day 1, EXPLORERS | Activity 1, Setting Sail

Well hello folks! Friends & families! Classmates! It's finally here! The Summer Learning Journey from 2019 to 2020! This activity is about travelling the vast ocean. Did you know that a person named Nainoa Thompson, a master of navigating, used ancient polynesian wayfinding skills to sail around the world? In 2015, him and his crew stopped by at New Zealand. There, he came and visited the Manaiakalani schools in Auckland. I'd like to be just like him so I'll also be sailing around the world. It'll be quite long so I have brought 10 food items. What is yours?
