Today's task was to write about what your favourite ice cream and what your least favourite ice cream is.
My favourite ice cream is orange and chocolate chip because I like how they sprinkle the chocolate round the ice cream so there's no big chunk of chocolate in it. I also like the taste of the orange in it. If I had to rate the orange chocolate chip ice cream I would give it a 10 out of 10.
My least favourite Ice cream is mint and chocolate chip the first reason is because I find it to minty. I also don't really like the mix of chocolate and mint together. If I had to rate the mint chocolate chip I would give a 6 out of 10.
My favourite Ice cream shop is the Lyttelton shop because while you are eating it you can see the harbour then you can watch the ships come in. I think the best view to see the ships while eating your ice cream is by the little park near the Ice cream shop.
My favourite ice block is the jelly tip Ice block. Because I like the jelly at the top and then there's Ice cream at the bottom of it and it's covered with chocolate. If I had to rate this ice block I would give it a 9 out of 10.
If I had to choose out of orange chocolate chip and jelly tip ice block I would probably choose orange chocolate chip.
What's your favourite Ice cream and what's your least favourite ice cream?

Tyrannosaurus Rex
Today's task was to write about dinosaurs so I chose the Tyrannosaurus Rex. Did you know that Tyrannosaurus Rex were twice as tall as elephants. The Tyrannosaurus rex live about 68 million years ago.
They are over 12 meters ( 39 foot tall). Tyrannosaurus were really fast they could move at 16-48 km/h.The Tyrannosaurus Rex have two very powerful legs and two small arms. They had really big feet which would help them walk or run long distances.
Tyrannosaurus deadly jaws could deliver bone crushing bite far more powerful than any modern day animals. The Tyrannosaurus Rex had 50 teeth as big as bananas. Tyrannosaurus Rex are meat eating animals.
Tyrannosaurus Rex were Carnivores they would hunt and take food off other dinosaurs. The Tyrannosaurus Rex was first discovered in 1902 and was named in 1905. Large Tyrannosaurus Rex bite marks have been found in other dinosaurs fossils. Tyrannosaurus Rex fossils have been found in USA and Mongolia.
Barnum Brown found hundreds of dinosaurs bones while working for the American Museum of Natural history in New York. He was born in 1873 and he died in 1963. He found the first and third Tyrannosaurus rex skeletons.

Lockdown at my house
While we've been in lockdown I have been playing outside. Some of the things I have been doing are riding my bike, playing swingball with my Mum and Dad, playing basketball when my brothers have free time. My Dad also found my brothers old slot car set so I've been playing with that as well. I have also been making a Meccano car this belongs to my eldest brother. It is remote control so I can't wait to drive it.
We have also been watching mass in the dining room which is very different than walking down to church. Last Friday we watched stations of the cross that involved walking down the hall to get to the dining room to watch Stations of the cross.
Each week Scouts New Zealand are sending through three challenges for the week. One of the scout challenges was to make something in the kitchen. So Mum and I made Rhubarb crumble for pudding last night. Today's challenge is to make a shelter. I think I will have to do it inside today because its pouring with rain.
We have been playing family board games after lunch each day. So far we have played Monopoly, Catan, Tri-ominos. Today we are going to play Monopoly. Mum and I have also been playing cards.
I have been reading a Kids national geographic I have finished reading Wombat Chronicles. I am reading Lost wonders vanished creatures of Aotearoa. This book is about extinct birds of New Zealand and people finding their fossils.I have also been reading the school journals. I have been doing a kids stuff quiz every day. I also have been listening to David walliams read a chapter of One of the worlds worst children series each morning.

The Jolliest Jolly Jar
This term, our Project Based Learning (PBL) started with the teachers putting us into groups. In these groups we had to work collaboratively to create Jolly Jars for the school fair. This task helped us to begin exploring our PBL question for the term - How can we build community through our actions? We had to research ideas, be creative with our product, experiment with our materials and write instructions that could be followed by others.
Green is me. Black is what the teachers set up for me.
Here is a Link to my instructions.
I learnt that instructions need to have capitals and at the start by having a doing word. You also have to write steps.
Reflection on PBL:
For our Jolly Jar my group did sock puppets.
I contributed to my group by bringing in materials, by thinking of the idea, by bringing jars in, by making a sock puppet, by helping other people in my group by helping make labels and by creating my jar with glitter and tissue paper. I also helped sell them at the school fair.
Our Jolly Jar was creative because we thought that little children would enjoy it.
What I learned about working with others was that we had to all agree about what our ideas were and what we did.

Summer learning journey review
The activity I enjoyed the most was the sports week especially the choice activity at the end of the week I did Brendon McCullum and Martin Guptill. I also really enjoyed learning about Yusra Mardini. I find it amazing that she swam for her life as I can't imagine doing that.
The activity I least enjoyed was the music one as I'm not really into music. So I found it difficult to choose an activity for that day.
The first thing I learnt was that for the second time ever there will be a refugee team competing at the Tokyo Olympics and hopefully Yusra Mardini will make the team. I will be following her progresse. The Second thing I learnt was trying to make sure my ideas and sentences were in a logical order so my readers could understand what I was trying to say. The third thing I learnt was how to write a diary. I found some ¨my¨ story books in the book case at home.
I personally think that there shouldn't be any changes and I really enjoyed this years summer learning journey. I enjoyed receiving comments to my blogs and being able to share more of my ideas. I definitely want to do the Summer learning journey next year.

Two arty pictures
For the Summer learning journey today we had to choose two pictures from this Link and show what is simuller and what is different.
One similarity is that they both have animals. They both have patches of lots of colors. Both pieces of art are outside. There both on fences.
A difference is that the Bird one is based in the hills and the Cat one isn't. One picture is about cats and the other is about birds. Ones got a hot air balloon and the other doesn't. In the painting one has trees round it the other one doesn't.
Out of these two pictures which one is your favourite? My one is the cat one because I love cats.

Oprah winfrey
Oprah Winfrey was born on January 29th 1954 in Kosciusko, Mississippi. Oprah Winfrey started her own school in South Africa called Oprah Winfrey Leadership School for Girls. She wants to provide young people with opportunities to follow their passions.
When Oprah was still young her mother moved to Milwaukee Wisconsin to find a job. Oprah stayed in Mississippi and lived with her grandmother. Oprah lived on a farm without running water. When Oprah turned six, she moved to Wisconsin to live with her mum.
What do you think you will do when you have finished high school will you do some more study or do work straight away? I want to go to University and study sport and then be a sports player and be a professional player. Right now I can't decide if I want to study Squash or hockey at University.
