Week 2 Day 6 Activities by Ashleigh

Week 2: Culture, Customs and Climate

This week you will be introduced to life in a new country. You will learn about the language, weather, family structure and school system in that country. You will then be invited to create and share your blogs with people currently living in each of these countries! To get started, take a look at the activities for Day 6 – Hola!

Day 6 – Hola!

Kia ora! G’day! Selamat! Guten Morgen! Hola! Welcome to the beautiful country of your choice. Before you leave the airport and go to your hotel, you will want to learn how to say hello in the language of your country. Look at the table below to learn basic words and phrases that you may need when you are travelling around the country.

English Canada, United Kingdom, Australia	Spanish Chile, Mexico	German Germany	Malay Malaysia	Japanese Japan	Arabic United Arab Emirates	Afrikaans South Africa
Hello	Hola	Hallo	Hello	Kon'nichiwa	Marhabaan	Hallo
Thank You	Gracias	Danke	Terima kasih	Arigatogozaimas	Shukraan	Dankie
Do you speak English?	¿Habla usted Inglés?	Sprechen sie Englisch?	Adakah anda bercakap Bahasa Inggeris?	Eigo o hanasemasu ka?	Hal tatahaddath alanjlyzy?	Praat jy Engels?

Activity 1

Once you have read these phrases you will be ready to leave the airport and head to your hotel. Take a moment and imagine how you might feel if you were standing in the airport in a foreign country and you had to figure out how to communicate with people in a brand new language. Would you be scared? Would you feel confident? Write a short poem that describes how you might be feeling (i.e. excited, happy, scared, nervous, etc).

Today is the day I am going to Arab I felt excited about what I can explore during this journey,
Today is the day I am going to Arab, when I need to learn a new language nervous it is the feel that stuck in my mind, because I don't have any friend in Arab,
Today is the day I am going to Arab I am scare about I have to learn a brand new language,
Today is the day I am going to Arab happiness is a feel that I always have, because I am going to a new country that I have never been to!

Activity 2

Take a selfie that captures how you might be feeling. I think that I would most likely be feeling scared.

Week 1 day 5 activities by Ashleigh

Day 5 – Boarding the Plane

It’s the big day! You’re about to hop on an airplane and travel to a new country. Curious Kiwi will keep you company on the journey. Unfortunately, Curious Kiwi forgot his book and he is worried that he’ll get bored on the long flight without anything to read. He asks you for some help…

Activity 1

Think about all of the books that you have read this year and recommend one for Curious Kiwi to read. On your blog list the title and author of the book and then provide a short description of it. What is the book about?

Grandma's kiwi Christmas

By Helen Mckinlay

About Grandma Only five sleeps till Santa and Grandma's a-go-go with mince pies and pantomimes. But with trouble at Santa's house, adventure calls, and our Gran packs her handbag, buttons on her snowsuit and zips off to the North Pole. Another delightfully zany escapade for Kiwi kids' favorite Grandma, who was last seen saving the All Blacks.

Activity 2

Read the following three reviews of books that are really popular right now in Canada. If you had to choose one for Curious Kiwi to read on the plane, which one would you choose? Post the name of the book that you would chose on your blog. Below the title explain why you would choose that book.

Book 1: Catching Fire (The Hunger Games #2) by Suzanne Collins

Against all odds, Katniss has won the Hunger Games. She and fellow District 12 tribute Peeta Mellark are miraculously still alive. Katniss should be relieved, happy even. After all, she has returned to her family and her longtime friend, Gale. Yet nothing is the way Katniss wishes it to be. Gale holds her at an icy distance. Peeta has turned his back on her completely. And there are whispers of a rebellion against the Capitol - a rebellion that Katniss and Peeta may have helped create. Much to her shock, Katniss has fueled an unrest she's afraid she cannot stop. And what scares her even more is that she's not entirely convinced she should try. As time draws near for Katniss and Peeta to visit the districts on the Capitol's cruel Victory Tour, the stakes are higher than ever. If they can't

As time draws near for Katniss and Peeta to visit the districts on the Capitol's cruel Victory Tour, the stakes are higher than ever. If they can't prove, without a shadow of a doubt, that they are lost in their love for each other, the consequences will be horrifying.

Book 2: Matilda by Roald Dahl

Matilda is a sweet, exceptional young girl, but her parents think she's just a nuisance. She expects school to be different but there she has to face Miss Trunchbull, a kid-hating terror of a headmistress. When Matilda is attacked by the Trunchbull she suddenly discovers she has a remarkable power with which to fight back. It'll take a superhuman genius to give Miss Trunchbull what she deserves and Matilda may be just the one to do it!

Book 3: Diary of a Wimpy Kid – The Ugly Truth

Greg Heffley has always been in a hurry to grow up. But is getting older really all it’s cracked up to be? Greg suddenly finds himself dealing with the pressures of boy-girl parties, increased responsibilities, and even the awkward changes that come with getting older—all without his best friend, Rowley, at his side. Can Greg make it through on his own? Or will he have to face the “ugly truth.”

I will choose book 1, because this book is about the fighting and a little hook at the end of the review, so I think the hook is very interesting. This review didn't tell me all of the story and at the end it ask me about what do I think will happen next, so it is telling me to keep reading so I don't get bored at the end of the story. This review is telling me the begging of the story and the middle and it is telling me to read the end.

Bonus Activity

It’s time to use your imagination to write a short story. I’ve provided you with three different beginnings for a story. Choose your favorite beginning and finish the story. What happens next?

Before you start packing your suitcase you will want to create a list of everything that you will need to bring with you. Most airlines let you bring one big suitcase with you so you’ll have to think carefully about what you want to bring…

On your blog site, post a list of everything that you need to pack for your trip. Put a star (*) beside the 5 items that you think are the most important.

*T-shirt, hat, sunblock, *shoes, camera, socks, other cloth, *Hair bands, brush, shampoo, body wash, *passport, *money and mobile phone

Day 3 - Buying a ticket

Now that you have chosen your country it is time to start planning your trip. One of the first things you will need to do is to buy an airplane ticket. There are many, many airlines that fly around the world. Some of the most common are:

Air Canada Air New Zealand

                               

Emirates             Air Asia

                

When you get onto the airplane you will be asked to watch a short safety video that tells you how to stay safe when flying in a plane. Arguably, the best aiplane safety videos are produced by Air New Zealand.

Activity 1

Watch both of the current Air New Zealand safety videos. The first is a video that stars the All Blacks. The second is a video that stars Rhys Darby and Anna Faris (Hollywood actress).  Links for the videos are found below:

Air New Zealand ‘Men In Black’ video

Air New Zealand ‘Safety in Hollywood’ video

Once you have finished watching the videos, go to your blog and list three things that you need to do to stay safe on an airplane.

1. make sure you put the seat belt on

2. No electronic stuff

3. No running around

Activity 2

Imagine that you have been asked to create your very own airline. What would you call it? Design a simple logo for your airline and post it on your blog. You must include a short explanation of your logo below the picture.

Week 1 Day 2 Bounce Activity by Ashleigh

Bonus activity

Wellington is the capital city of New Zealand. Have you been to Wellington? If so, please tell us about two things that you did when you were in Wellington.

If you haven’t had the opportunity to go to Wellington, follow the link to learn more about this very cool city: Discover Wellington.

On your blog, tell us what two things you would like to do if you had the chance to visit Wellington. Would you go to the botanical gardens or visit the Beehive? Perhaps you would prefer to go shopping on Cuba Street or go out for dinner on Quay Street…


1. I want to go to botanical gardens because there are going to be lots of plants and flowers, I like flowers because I like to do lots pf gardening with my mom or my mom's friends, and I never been to botanical gardens before so I like to go to botanical gardens if I have chance and explore lots of plants that I never knew.

2. I also want to shopping on Cuba street because I think there are going to be lots of shops and lots of stuff that we never seen in New Zealand.
