DAY 2: MUSOS
Activity 1: Getting Stronger [4 points]
Aaradhna is a Samoan-Indian singer from New Zealand. As a girl, Aaradhna sang traditional Samoan and country songs with her family, eventually joining the senior choir at her high school (Porirua College). She gained international recognition in 2004 when she paired up with Adeaze to release the song, “Getting Stronger.” The song went to number one on the New Zealand Singles Chart and it is still one of my all-time favourites, to this day!
Speaking of favourite songs, we would love to know who you listen to and what songs you like the most.
For this activity, please give us a list of your ‘Top 5’ favourite artists (singers or bands) and your ‘Top 5’ favourite songs. They can be from any time period and any genre (type) of music.
On your blog, post lists of your Top 5 Artists and your Top 5 Songs.
Activity 2: K-pop heroes [4 points]
BTS, or Bangtan Boys, is a seven member boy band from South Korea. They have sold over 15 million albums in South Korea, which make them the best selling artists in South Korea of all time. They have topped the music charts in the United States of America and around the world.
They began singing hip hop but now sing mostly K-Pop (Korean Pop). Most of their songs are sung in Korean - their first language.
BTS is famous for making great music videos and for singing about topics that many people can relate to - love, self-confidence, etc. They have a huge and very loyal fan base. Their fans are called the BTS A.R.M.Y.
For this activity, please watch this CBS Sunday Morning Special about BTS.
On your blog, tell us your opinion on BTS. Please don’t just say whether or not you like them, but tell us what it is that you like (or don’t like) about them.
I don't really know it's either "Panic At The Disco" or "Bangtan Boys" but I just go ahead and tell you guys about them both.
BTS what I like about them is how passionate they are when performing most people would struggle to preform like that in such passion. They turned Pop Music into their culture music and also a lot of people like it including me. They are as good as a band could get at Choreography.
Panic At The Disco it's a band with one of my favourite songs "Death Of A Bachelor". What I like about there band is their music the singing is amazing which is obvious because the singer i "Brendon Urie" One of my Favourite Idols. What I also like about there music is how much spirit is in it like the "Bangtan Boys" They put alot of effort and spirit in their music.
Activity 3: Girl Power [6 points]
Jessica Mauboy is an Aboriginal Australian singer. She rose to fame when she was runner-up in the 2006 Australian Idol, and has gone on to record a number of very successful songs. She is a role model for both girls, and indigenous Australians as she has been so successful in her music and acting career.
Dame Kiri Te Kanawa is an opera singer from Aotearoa/New Zealand. She became one of the best sopranos (a female singer with a high voice) in the world. Dame Kiri Te Kanawa is Māori, however she was adopted when she was a baby and very little is known about her birth family.
For young singers, both of these women can serve as role models - people who have faced challenges and overcome them in order to achieve their dreams of becoming professional singers.
For this activity, we would like to choose one role model and tell us about them. What makes them a role model? They can be people you know personally, people you have seen on television or the internet, people you have heard on the radio or people you have heard about from a friend of family member. You do not have to know them personally.
On your blog, tell us about your chosen role model. Please be sure to tell us why you think they are a role model.
So My Role Model is "Billie Eilish" She is one of the people I look up to because lets say she posted up a song or something and she liked but no one else did then she wouldn't delete it cause she likes it so she doesn't really care about what others think. She's also my Role Model because her music is amazing her voice as well I also can tell whoever voice is Billie Eilish with my Eyes Blindfolded. Her type of music is the type I like a lot. One day I hope I would meet her.

Summer Learning Journey//Though Careful Obeservation//Day 2//Week 3//Cracking The Code
DAY 2: CRACKING THE CODE
Activity 1: Through Careful Observation [4 points]
There are many incredible people in history who have changed the world. Some have changed what we know about the world and about how it works. We often call these people ‘scientists’ or ‘theorists.’ Famous scientists include Sir Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, Albert Einstein, Katherine Freese, Maria Goeppert Mayer and Sau Lan Wu.
Each of these scientists came up with a new theory (idea) about how things work. Much of what they discovered came from observing (watching) things closely.
For this activity, we would like you to select one of the pictures below and to study or observe it closely. What do you see?
On your blog, describe the painting in detail. What do you see when you look at it? Please give us as much detail as you can!
To my eyes I think this art work represents day and night cause each side of the art work show a side of darkness and a side of lightness which I think represents day and night.
Activity 2: Overcoming Adversity [4 points]
Stephen Hawking (1942-2018) was an English scientist who was interested in studying the origin (beginning) of the universe. When he was just 21 years old, he was diagnosed with Motor Neuron Disease and, over time, he lost the ability to walk and talk. He needed to use a wheelchair to move around and a computer to help him to talk. The computer made his voice sound a bit funny but, most importantly, it meant he could still communicate with people.
Despite his diagnosis, Stephen Hawking lived a long and very productive life. He showed great determination and perseverance because he didn’t let his physical challenges stop him. He didn’t quit. Instead, he ‘overcame the odds’ and achieved a huge amount in his life.
For this activity, we would like to hear about a time when you, or someone you know, experienced a challenge and overcame it.
On your blog, recount a time when you or someone you know experienced a challenge and overcame it.
When I was in the womb my Mum moved to New Zealand with my siblings she couldn't find a job at first so she started looking everywhere for a job but then she got pregnant then I was born then my mum had a more harder challenge but then she found a job that's suitable for her and then started overcoming her challenges.
Activity 3: Hidden Figures [6 points]
Ada Lovelace, born in 1815, is considered to be the ‘first computer programmer’, even though computers had not yet been invented. She was called a computer programmer because she worked out a series of algorithms (instructions) that a machine could use to compute (calculate) difficult maths questions.
Katherine Johnson was another brilliant mathematician who worked with NASA - the North American Space Association. NASA was responsible for sending rockets and people into space. It was Katherine’s job to check all of the calculations that the engineers and astronauts used when designing the spacecraft and flying them into space. In 2016, a movie was made about Katherine Johnson and the other women who worked at NASA during this time. It is called ‘Hidden Figures.’ In the movie, the women had to learn how to do basic coding when NASA started using computers.
Have you ever tried coding?
For this activity we would like you to give coding a try. Click on the link for the website: code.org. If you try an activity and it is too easy, try a harder level!
On your blog, post a screenshot of your completed shape. Underneath the shape tell us what you thought of the coding app. Is it good? Why/why not?
This website is a great one because it is hard and makes you really think about how you would do the coding. For example I did the diamond shape and it was very difficult because you had to change the degrees.

Summer Learning Journey//A Long Walk to Freedom//Week 2//Day 2//Taking Action
DAY 2: TAKING ACTION
Activity 1: A Long Walk to Freedom [4 points]
Nelson Mandela was an activist and civil rights leader who was born and raised in South Africa. For over 40 years (1948-1991), the country of South Africa had a political system called ‘apartheid’. This meant that there were different rules for people who had white skin than for those who didn’t. Nelson Mandela felt that this was very wrong and he fought for many years to change the law. Eventually he became the President of South Africa and ended apartheid, but not before spending 27 years in prison.
In Robben Island prison (where Mandela spent 18 years), life was very tough. Mandela had a tiny, damp, concrete cell, with only a straw mat to sleep on. During the day he was forced to work in a quarry, breaking rocks into gravel. He was only allowed to see one visitor and receive one letter every six months. At night, Nelson read and studied to be a lawyer.
For this activity, please imagine that you are Mr Mandela and that you are living at Robben Island prison. You have been given a journal and each night you write in it.
On your blog, write a journal entry imagining that you are Mr Mandela. What do you think he did each day? How did he feel? Include as much detail as you can in the journal entry.
It's another day in prison I'm proud that I manged to help the black community fight back for their rights. I wonder what the next chapter of my life is gonna be like and also I'm looking forward for my family to visit me I haven't seen them in a long time. I have uncomfortable beds and everything but at least it's not something worse. I feel lonely staying in the cell so I try to make conversation with other prisoners.

Activity 2: School Strike for Climate [4 points]
You may have heard people talking about an issue called ‘Climate change’. Climate change refers to an increase in the temperature of our planet. Warmer temperatures can cause natural disasters (floods, storms, droughts, bushfires, hurricanes, etc), rising sea levels, and the extinction (disappearance) of plants and animals.
Many people in New Zealand (and overseas) are worried about climate change, including Greta Thunberg, a 16 year old girl from Sweden. She believes that climate change is not only real, but that it is a “crisis”. She is upset that adults, particularly governments and powerful people, are not taking climate change seriously. In 2018 she began protesting outside the Swedish government buildings every Friday instead of going to school. She inspired the School Strike for Climate protests and, in 2019, spoke to the United Nations about her concerns. Not everyone, however, is convinced that climate change is really happening.
For this activity, we would like you to explore the School Strike for Climate Australia website.
On your blog, list three facts (things) that you learned, and include a photograph of something that you are doing around home to help the environment.

- They are trying to make a new type of coal.
- They are also trying to change the source of gas.
- People are Sacrificing there education for our future.
What I think they are doing is good for Nature and for people it gives the next generation a heads up of what they should be doing and thinking about all of this would be thanks to the School Strike for Climate Australia.
Activity 3: “I Have a Dream” [6 points]
Martin Luther King Jr was a Christian minister in the United States of America (USA) in the 1950s and 1960s. He spent much of his life fighting for equality (equal rights) for people of colour. At the time, there were laws that kept black and white people separated - they went to different schools, used different toilets, and even sat in different parts of a bus and ate in different areas of a restaurant. This was called ‘segregation.’
Dr King did not agree with these laws and he led many protests against them. He was joined in his protests by many people, including an African American woman named Rosa Parks. In 1955, Rosa boarded a bus in Alabama (USA) and when the bus filled up with people, she refused to give up her seat to a white passenger. You can read about this famous incident here and watch a video about Rosa Parks here.
For this activity, please consider the problem that black men and women faced in America at this time.
On your blog, describe the problem. What did Rosa Parks do about the problem? How did other people react?
So back in the olden days people like Rosa Park couldn't go to the front of the bus if they did then they would be arrested so the black community had to got to the back of the bus but if the bus was to full then the black people would have to stand up. Until one day a lady could Rosa Parks got back from a hard day of work so as she was on the bus going back home until the bus was full so the black community had to stand up for the white community but Parks said No but then the us driver threatened her to stand up or he will call the police but Parks still didn't so the police arrived and arrested Rosa Parks for her heroic actions.

Summer Learning Journey//Miracle on The Hudson//Week 1// Day 2//Activity 3/Up in the Air
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.
So once on a Monday morning in the school holidays me and my Dad were riding back from my cousins birthday he stayed up making food but as he was driving he slept but then he was on the wrongs side of the tracks but I try'ed to wake him up but he was to sleepy a car came from the other side it was almost a crash but then I turned the steering wheel and then slapped his face and told him to drive and luckily no one died and I also kept slapping him each time he was sleepy.

Summer Learning Journey/One Small Step for Man/Week 1/Day 2/ Activity 2/ Up in the Air
As my ship Apollo 1 launches my exceptions of my Aircraft exploding is 100 percent. I know how dangerous this task is but it's for the sake of my country. As I cross though the atmosphere it was a relief that a managed to make it though the atmosphere. As my Aircraft landed on the moon Aldrin Says "Light" as I wear my gear I get ready to take a step out side all of sudden I took the last step the bad things I was thinking about before just diapered and as I walked forward I planted our flag with pride and I was thinking about what I have done for my country.
Summer Learning Journey/Flying Solo/Week 1/Day 2/Activity 1/Up in the Air
So on this task we were suppose to make a Venn Diagram between Jean Batten and Amelia Earhart.
