Waka Ama - Day 1 Bonus activity

Hello Blogging world! You might be wondering why I am back to day 1, I am back to day 1 because I haven't done this activity yet. So here it is! In the 1800's people used Wakas to race in for sports, until now they still do it! Must be very trendy! They have to row really fast to win, it takes a lot of effort! Here is a video of the race they had.


Wow! Isn't it fascinating to see them paddle that fast? If I were to do that job I would be tired the second I start paddling. I would not like to do this because this is very exhausting hard work! And as well you might even fall of the Waka if you are moving side to side too much! I have also sailed in a Waka myself, above shallow water and it was super hard to even turn!

 From  making this blog post I learnt how to add the video so that you can just click on it and you don't need the link. It was hard to watch the video because it was restricted on my Chromebook, so I needed to use another device to watch the video. It was easy to find the reasons why I don't want to be doing that job or competition, because I am not a sporty kid.

Setting Sail - 2nd Activity

Hello Blogging world! As you might know there is not only 1 activity for each days in the Summer Learning Journey, so this is my 2nd activity for the day. This activity we had to write a letter to a friend about our travel to New Zealand and moving to a new country we have never been on. Under this text is a letter that I sent for Lily. 

Dear: Lily,
over the past hours on the Waka I have had a successful but scary trip. I have tried eating a little all the time because I don't have limited food. Moving to a new country is surely scary, because I don't know where I will get money to buy the food and where will I stay for the night? How was your adventure to New Zealand Lily? Send me a letter!
From: Amie.




That was my letter to Lily about my 6 hour trip. I hoped you have enjoyed this blog post and would feel free to leave a comment to improve my work! Bye! Bye! Blogging world!
