Winter Learning Journal Activity 1

We and my classmates have been doing many things. We are happy to learn more, experience and observe more of my classmates and I have been working on the Winter Road Trip activity one. I am looking forward to more activities today. I will try my best to learn and never give up on what I’m doing  I am really interested in this I hope I do more.

Waka Hourua

This is my waka hourua, Me and my partner Samantha planned first before we built it. First we drew the waka we were also talking about how we should build it, after that we started collecting cardboard and stuff.  Me and my partner, got to work we had so much fun and it was a little bit exhausting. When we finished painting our waka, my partner and my partner left it so the paint could dry after that we took photos of people with their waka. I really had fun and I really Observed from other people’s waka it was very fun, I experienced many facts about waka I wonder if we are doing it again.

Great Beginnings

The Graveyard was silent that dawn, The only sound was whispers.

The Grass was horrific and long, Soft Foggy enfolded it felt like I’ve been watched like someone is running behind me, and all around the trees and trying to kidnap me.

Bella felt really scared but she only went there to see her dead Father,  that took care of her and treated her nicely ever since her mum died, until she saw a path she wondered and asked herself.

“What does this path lead to, it is very odd around here I’ve never seen it before?”

 

Peacock Mantis Shrimp.

For the past few weeks, our class has been learning about Peacock Mantis Shrimp.

This animal is a very interesting creature. It is not a Mantis nor a shrimp. Instead, it belongs to a group of crustaceans called stomatopods. The mantis shrimp is 6 inches long, the biggest problem right now is, it is armed with the most sophisticated vision of any predator and the fastest strike. Their eyes  work independently together to better target their prey, eyes detect more colors than any creatures.

They can see polarized light he pulls out the ace of his sleeve, hammer claws their spring loaded clubs strike 50 there are over 450 species of mantis shrimp some mantis shrimp possess deadly clubs, they are native to warm water  of the Indian Pacific they are basically found on reefs in sand and rubble area’s with several hiding spots to hide in.

The males are usually brighter than the females, with juveniles having more of a yellowish color Mantis Shrimp have excellent eyesight with large eyes, mounted on stalks that can swivel to give almost 360 degrees of vision  mantis shrimp has been known to attack and the injured  divers who approach too close. 

 

Sign Language

On Friday I learned how to add a video of me on my blog.

I’ve been having fun doing sign language I really like the  talking sign language because it is very easy to act out, I  got  stuck on the worried, how are you and excited it took time for me to learn but after trying I finally got it and especially the one with talk it was very simple to act I hope, to do this again when I am on free time.

My chubby Panda

I went to the zoo and I learned that panda’s like eating bamboo, and that a baby panda is called a cub, this is very important because when you are at the zoo an  d your manager says to feed the panda’s, we might not know what they eat. What was fun that I experience lot more about, pandas and also research about them. But the thing that was challenging was to add the pictures it was a bit hard, my next step is to learn more about what they do on summer.

 

 

 

SAMOA

Samoa is known as the “Cradle of Polynesia” because Savai’i Island is said to be hawaiki, (which means homeland) The Polynesian homeland.The island of Upolu has more inhabitants than the island of Savi’i does. The next largest island is Tutuila, where the city and harbor of Pago pago.

Pago pago is a very big Pago pago, port and administrative ( mean manager ) of American Samoa ( since 1899 ).Samoa has some strict teachers like when you don’t know your math’s you get, the hiding Samoa has beautiful houses that are small and big.

The house that my dad built wasn’t quite finished because it’s big. He started to be a carpenter when he was a teenager, he is going back to finish the house he built. My dad was a Matai (which means chief or a leader) and he was happy with his work. He acknowledged that anything is possible if you put your mind into it.
