Activity 2: What... Mostly Proud of, Summer Learning Journey

For Activity 2 our task was to interview 3 friends or classmates about what they are mostly proud of. In this task I interviewed Mele, Marieta and Myself. I am very proud of my sister for finishing college and going onto university because she has worked so hard and has stayed committed to all her subjects including her favorite, Maths. 

Mele- " A big achievement that I am very proud of this year is being able to lead my school as Head Girl for 2019, because not only was I able to welcome visitors, present many times and take on responsibilities, but I believe that being chosen as Head Girl has given me the opportunity to embrace our school VALUES very well and represent our school confidently. Next year will become a new chapter and being that I have experienced what a leader is like, I am fulfilled and ready to become a ambassador at my new college. 

Marieta:" Me and my family are proud for myself. The reason why is because two weeks ago I got baptised. It was scary but I got through it. The next day out of 50 people I was chosen to read the word for the preacher. I was really shy but I am so happy that I accomplished this goal that has been waiting for me for about 3 years. "

Day 3: Activity 1- Environmental and Exploration

This Week we created a DLO that promotes The Water Project taking place in the sub saharan, Africa. We learnt that many families and children are not able to access clean water since it is contaminated with all sorts of bacteria and animal production. Our Task was to work as a group and define the achievement and the goal that the water project has in mind. What I found interesting about the water project going on in Africa, Is that some girls dropped out of school because of the problem. The People That I worked well with in my group were, Taheesha, Sakina and Miiana. We all worked collaboratively on this project. Before we started creating this DLO we wrote down notes in just partners of 2 before getting together and working in a group. I really enjoyed working on this project because it was based on helping to provide clean fresh water to people who don't have access to clean water or even taking a long journey accross droughts and hot deserts.

Activity 2: Equal pay for Equal work

Is It fair that Men get more paid then women, well I think this is just not right. Fiao'o Fa'amausili shares her story with the people of NZ, Speaking up for the rights on the behalf of her rugby team (Black Ferns), Why isn't the black ferns being paid a less amount of money, They play and represent the same sport and country. I just find this incredibly unfair because between the 2 comparisons is the government choosing between the genders, I think that the black ferns should get the same amount of payment as the All Blacks. I do not believe that women should not get payed less money because if the (BF) and The (AB) got payed the same amount of money it will be a Equal pay + Equal work.

Day 2: Activity 1- Speeding Bullet

Task: Come up with 4 new Similies that you could create

Example: Here my 4 Examples about Fast speeding bullet running athlete: Shelly-Ann-Fraser-Pryce

She is as fast as... (A timer counting down how many minutes and hours through the night and day.)

She is as tall as... (Mustang(Horse) 

She is as Gorgeous looking... (The Sun sets on the Caribbean Horizon)

She is as Powerful... (Like a Jaguar running across the sahara deserts)

Today I completed Day 2's activity 1, This activity was based on the fastest women in the world (Shelly-Ann-Fraser-Pryce) A Fact that I found out about her is that when she was in High School she competed well in the Jamaican school Athletics + She went on to winning the Jamaican School running Championships. I describe her as a Powerful, Proud and Motivated women because she has come so far from winning a School Championship, I find that so incredible she has taken the time and effort to take the oppitunity to follow her dreams and become the fastest women in the world.  

This Activity is Based on 4 similes to describe her, I chose to go simple and use some ideas from the site.
