Activity 2 - How would I raise funds for the our olympic players? By:Shanya

1. I would make a community fair. So what you do is you can bring whatever you feel like to sell.
2. Or I would do a fundraiser, so at every shop you go to you can donate some money to help the olympic New Zealand team.

Day 7: Activity 1 - Who would I compete with? By:Shanya

I would compete with my friend Hannah, because we would work together. I also choose her because I know I can rely on her.

Golf in Rio

Here is my poem about being on TVNZ and going to Rio.  The sport I choose to report is Golf

Golf

I don’t like Golf

But I have to go.

I couldn’t choose rugby cos I hate that even more.

I get to go on a plane

Now that won’t be lame!

TVNZ are making me go

So RIo I get to say ‘hello’.

I don’t know what to expect to find

I hope the people are lovely and kind.

The golf will be interesting I guess

But I hope that I don’t get myself into too much or a mess.

Famous NZ Landmarks

L&P bottle in Paeroa.

This is a large bottle of an L&P bottle which is a soft drink that is made in Paeroa from the springs and mixed with lemon.  It is famous because it is very large and unique.  Tourists like to take pictures of themselves with it.

One Tree Hill in Mt Eden, Auckland.

This is the name of the mountain in Mt Eden.  It used to have one tree on top but it was cut down in a protest.  It is a landmark because many people visit it and look at the views from the top.  When you go to the obelisk on the top there are templates with descriptions of Maori ancestors.

Maori Warrior statue by the Auckland Ferry terminal

This was made in 1967.  It is a maori warrior wearing a long cloak.  It is made of bronze and is meant to represent peace and the maori people.

Vinicius e Tom

Here is my summary of ep. 2  

They have just arrived and they need somewhere to sleep. Vinicius choose a log but there was a bug hat fell on his head and he ran out screaming. Then Tom find a hole in a tree but the hole is a home for an owl so the owl starts to chase tom out.when they are both running they crash into a birdhouse and Vinicius hold it up to the tree witch to me I think means he wants their house to be in a tree but tom holds up a sign that means no and then tom thinks that the house should be in the water.  But the water is too cold.  They then see a place that would be perfect for them both that has a tree and a pond.  They build a tree house that suits them both.  At night they try to sleep but they can’t.  So they both go back outside and sleep in their normal habitats.

Bonus - write the ending of the story By: Shanya

Imagine that you are sitting in the crowd at the opening ceremonies for the Rio Olympics this August. The ceremony has just started and all of the Olympic athletes are parading around the stadium in their uniforms when all of a sudden a elephant had broke out of the zoo and came stomping all over the expensive equipment. The people were screaming with fear everywhere, suddenly the fierce elephant tamer came out of the crowd and walked back the elephant to the zoo. This was the year that never had the olympics games.

Activity 2 - Who to choose for the opening ceremony By: Shanya

I would choose Richie McCaw because he is the most capped test rugby player of all time. Also he has been appointed captain of the all blacks in 2006. He has also represented our country in the rugby world cup's.

Day 6: Activity 1 - New Zealand Uniform ranking By: Shanya

Ranking: #1

Why? - Because they have used the kiwis of the dresses and the men and women have the same blouse or jackets.

Ranking:  #3

Why? - Because they are all the matching colours and nothing is different between the men and women. But the design is wonderful and unique.

Ranking #2

Why? - Because it has the black and white colours of New Zealand including the fern which makes it iconic.

Day 5: Activity 1 - Eddie the Eagle By: Shanya

Summary:
Eddie is a boy that wants to be an athlete but he wasn't that good at the sports. So he tried skiing and he never gave up even when he hurt himself and had to go to the hospital. Eddie was declined in every team he was in, but now he wasn't. He had a couch that held the record!

Bonus: Be the inspiration judgment By: Shanya

Good:
I like how they explained what the video was about and the words that they used to describe our olympic athletes. I also liked the pictures because it match the words that he was saying.

Improvement:
I think the speaker could have spoken a little bit slower because i couldn't entirely understand what he was trying to say in the beginning.

Rating:
**** = good movie
