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

The first thing me and my friends could do is do a bake sale at the school fair or some other special occasion like that. We have a very big school at 500 - 600 students we could earn at the max 1100 dollars

The second thing I could do with family is a garage sale and we could sell all our old books clothes and toy and other unneeded stuff.

Day 5 activity one Eddie The eagle

ere is my summary of Eddie the eagle. Hope you  enjoy 😁

Eddie had wanted to be an athlete or Olympian since he was very young.  He started holding his breath in the bath tub and jumping over obstacle courses but not many of them he could do.  He never got the professional perspective of it because his parents never believed in him and said he would never be an Olympian.  As he got older he realized that he didn’t want to go to the Olympics he wanted to go the winter Olympics.  So he started doing ski jumping when he got older.  On his first time on the big slope he doesn’t do it and he ends up rolling down the hill.  This guy comes and he says shouldn’t you be jumping when you are at least 5 or 6 years old?  Then Eddie says how do you know about it?  Then it skips to a part where he finds out the man used to be a professional ski jumper.  Then he says “why have I never heard of him?”    It turns out he got kicked out because he was disrespectful of the sport.

Then Eddie is on the slope for the second time.  He says to the people behind him ” can you give me push?”  They push him and he goes down and he jumps and crashes and ends up in hospital and breaks his neck. When he has his neck cast of the other man is sitting with him and he asks him if he's going to give but Eddie says no and gets out of the hospital bed. In the next bit it shows him where he is getting put down and when people are encouraging him.then it shows him training with the other man and having fun.Then it shows him getting ready for the real competition and last of all it shows him going down the slope and then he jumps the tv narrator says “can he do it”and then the screen blacked out to end the trailer.

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.

Bonus - Who is your inspriation By:Shanya

My inspiration would be mum and john achten. I chose my mum because she is a hard worker and she pushes me to stretch myself. I also choose John Achten, because her is a veterinarian by day and a artist by night, also because that's what I want to do when I grow up.

Activity 2 - Youngest olympic champion interview By: Shanya

Questions that I would ask Marjorie Gestring

1. How does it feel like to be the youngest person to win the olympic games?
2. Who inspired you to do this?
3. How long have you trained to pull this off?
4. Are you coming back to the next olympic games?
5. How are you going to celebrate this?

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
