Summer Learning Journey | Activity:3 | Achieving our dreams | Week 1 | (6 Points)

The Silver Ferns are New Zealand’s professional netball team. They are based in Auckland and play against teams from all over the world. Next year they are due to compete in the first ever Netball Nations cup competition in England.

In order to earn a place on the team, each of the players had to prove that they were one of the
best netball players in the country. They have all had to work very hard, sacrifice many things,
and show dedication and determination throughout their careers. In many cases, they have
also had a lot of support from others - their family, friends, teachers, coaches. This support has
allowed them to pursue their dreams and to, ultimately, do a job that they love.

_________________________

What to do: For this activity, choose a friend or family member and ask them what their dream
job would be. Please then brainstorm six ways in which you could support them in achieving
their dream job.

On your blog, present your ideas as a poster or infographic.

Summer Learning Journey | Activity:2 | Defying the odds | Week 1 | (4 Points)

LeBron James is one of the most famous professional basketball players in the world.
He currently plays in the NBA (National Basketball Association) for the Los Angeles Lakers.
He has won numerous awards over the years, helping his teams win many important games.

Steven Adams also plays in the NBA, but unlike LeBron, Steven comes from Rotorua, New
Zealand and is the half-brother of Olympic gold medalist Valerie Adams. That’s a pretty cool
family connection, isn’t it?! Steven Adams currently lives in the United States and plays for the
Oklahoma City Thunder basketball team.

Despite being born in different countries, these two incredible basketballer's have a number
of similarities. Both men came from humble beginnings. Neither of their families had a lot of
money, and neither man grew up with a father at home. Even though they faced challenges,
they were able to overcome them. Both men are examples of what is possible when you work
hard and believe in yourself.

___________________________

What to do: For this activity, we would like you to imagine that you had the chance to interview
LeBron James, Steven Adams or another basketball player of your choice.

On your blog, tell us who you would interview and then provide a list of five questions that you
would like to ask your chosen player.

________________________________________________________________________

1. How did you think you did this year?

2. What can you do better next year in NBA

3. What was the most important game you played? why?

4. Did this year make you learn anything new?

5. What are your favourite things you did this year in the NBA?
6. Who is one of your bestest friend in your team?

Summer Learning Journey | Day:3 | Activity:1 | Team Players | Rugby Superstars | Week 1 | (4 Points)

 Jonah Lomu was a rugby superstar. He was the

youngest ever All Black, selected at just 19 years of

age. He went on to have an amazing career that

included 63 caps (international games) and 37 tries.

Jonah was Tongan, but spent most of his childhood

in Mangere, South Auckland. He started out playing touch rugby and rugby league but

changed over to rugby union and quickly made a name for himself. He was very tall, strong

and fast. Richie McCaw is another example of a famous rugby player. He was the captain of the All Blacks between 2004 and 2015. Like Jonah Lomu, he had an outstanding international career in rugby union and had many achievements. In fact he was the most capped All Black captain, most capped test rugby player and World Rugby Player of the Year in 2006, 2009, and 2010. He has been given a Halberg Award and made a member of the Order of New Zealand. As well as being an outstanding player, Richie McCaw was also a strong leader and captain.

For many people, players like Jonah Lomu and Richie McCaw are superheroes with extra special ‘superpowers.’

Summer Learning Journey | Activity:3 | Miracle One The Hudson | Week 1 | (6 Points)

Mr Chesley Sullenberger, or “Sully” as he was known, was an airline captain (pilot) for about
30 years. In 2009, he became world famous when he landed his aeroplane in the middle of
the Hudson River in New York City. He was forced to make an emergency landing when both
of the engines in his aeroplane lost power. Amazingly, all 155 people on board the A320 plane
survived the landing. This incredible event became known as the ‘Miracle on the Hudson.’

You can watch a video about it here.

Although Sully must have been scared when the engines lost power, he didn’t show it.
Instead he stayed calm, and saved the lives of everyone on board. What a brave man!

What to do: For this activity, we would like to hear about a time when you, or someone you
know, was brave like Sully.

On your blog, recount a time when you (or someone else you know) did something brave.

Summer Learning Journey | Activity:2 | One Small Step For Man | Week 1 | (4 Points)

Neil Armstrong was an American astronaut and engineer. In 1969, Neil and his team of
astronauts flew to the moon in a spacecraft called Apollo 11. When they arrived, Neil got out of
the spacecraft and walked on the moon. He is the first person in history to walk on the moon! As
Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon, he famously said, “That’s one small step for man, one
giant
leap for mankind.”

As you can imagine, landing on the moon is a very dangerous task. Many things can go wrong,
and a number of astronauts have died attempting to land on the moon. Neil Armstrong, Buzz
Aldrin and Michael Collins (the three astronauts on Apollo 11) must have been extremely brave.

I always imagine that walking on the moon must be like jumping on the trampoline! Do you like
jumping on a trampoline? My daughter Laila loves it!

__________

What to do: For this activity, let’s imagine that you were Neil Armstrong.

On your blog, write a short poem describing how you felt when you first set foot on the moon.
Here is a link to some different poetry forms.

My poem⬇️

First to be in a spaceship first to fly to the moon never had stepped on the moon now I have,
first to step on the moon What a bright When I landed I felt so tight, I would fly in the sky so fun
and so tight.

Summer Learning Journey | Day:2 | Activity: 1 | Up In The Air | Flying Solo | Week 1 | (4 Points)

 

Scroll down so you can see the work that I've done.😄

Jean Batten was a famous aviator (pilot) who was born in Rotorua, New Zealand in 1909. In the 1930s she made several record-breaking solo flights (on her own) across the world. In fact, she was the first person to fly solo from England to New Zealand - a huge achievement! She also flew a number of long solo flights between England and Australia/Brazil. When she flew, she always took a silk dress with her so that she could look beautiful at the parties she attended upon her arrival.

Amelia Earhart was an American aviator who lived at about the same time as Jean Batten.
Like Jean, she also flew solo. In fact, she was the first female aviator to fly solo across the
Atlantic Ocean. She flew all the way from Canada to Northern Ireland on her own without
stopping. In 1937, Amelia Earhart attempted to circumnavigate (go right around) the world.
Unfortunately, the flight ended in tragedy when she disappeared near Howland Island, about
halfway between Australia and Hawaii. She was never found.

_______________

What To Do: For this activity, compare and contrast these two aviators. You could use this
venn diagram.

On your blog, share your comparison between the two women and be sure to include at
least three similarities and three differences between these two aviators.

Summer Learning Journey | Activity: 3 | Scaling New Heights | Week 1 | ( 6 Points )

 Scroll down so you can see the work that I have done.😄

In 1953, Sir Edmund Hillary and his sherpa (guide), Tenzing Norgay, were the first people to reach the summit of Mt Everest, the tallest mountain in the world.

At the time, Edmund Hillary was an apiarist (beekeeper) from Auckland, New Zealand.
During the summer he worked as a beekeeper, and during the winter, he climbed mountains.
Becoming the first person to summit Everest was not easy. In fact, Edmund Hillary attempted
(tried) to climb to the top of Mt Everest three times before he succeeded. He was determined
to reach the top!

While this famous explorer and climber is mostly remembered for being the first person to
reach the summit of Mt Everest, he has also made a huge impact on the world through his
charity work. In 1960, Sir Edmund Hillary set up the Himalayan Trust to bring education,
healthcare and safe drinking water to the people of Nepal - the country where Mt Everest is
located.
