One of the tasks I chose from this week was called Smart Chips. In this task we had to fill in the blanks/choose the correct word for the song Pukeko in a Ponga Tree (aka) 12 Days of Christmas. This seemed like a literacy and musical activity. I found this pretty chill and fun. Please leave a positive comment on my blog

A couple of weeks ago my literacy class has been doing research. We had to choose a random country we’ve never heard of and do research on it. I worked on this research project with Mele. The country was ‘Kyrgyzstan’ which is located in central Asia. I hope you have enjoyed this post. Please leave a positive comment on my blog.
On Monday for literacy we played kahoot. There were four different teams. I was on a team with Emeline, Mele, and Legacy. We played kahoot as a fun activity and to have fun before our reading test. We chose a netball quiz which we came first on. We tried our best on the other quizzes. We came third place. I hope you have enjoyed this post. Please leave a positive comment on my blog.
This is a FIOP task. For our reading task we had to read a book called ‘The Winning Side’ and work on a slideshow about the book. This has probably been my favourite book and task I’ve worked on during literacy. The book is meaningful and relatable. I hope you have enjoyed this post. Please leave a positive comment on my blog.

Today’s reading task was about phobias. Phobia is an anxiety disorder or a fear. We read a text based on a kid trading phobias with a strange man.

Task Description: Over the couple four weeks my literacy class (and the other literacy classes) have been learning about persuasive writing/speeches. We first started by making an ad. Soon after that we chose a topic and then made a persuasive speech about it. My topic was “Why Hawaii should be your number 1 travel destination”. My writing is below this task description. Today I shared my speech with my literacy class. I hope you have enjoyed this post. Please leave a positive comment on my blog.
Writing: Do you want to feel the aloha spirit? Come visit Hawaii. Surfing was invented in Hawaii. The people treat tourists kindly and you can really feel the “aloha” spirit. In my essay I will be stating why Hawaii should be your number 1 travel destination. I will also be sharing Hawaii’s amazing food, their lovely culture, and beautiful nature.
Hawaii has many fresh fruits that I bet you’ve never had. They have freshly squeezed pineapple juice that I definitely recommend, you might have it every meal of the day. Shaved Ice is one of the many things that you should absolutely try. It’s really good for those hot days. Hawaii has a lot more treats than this. One of my personal favourites is the Mauna Loa Chocolate.
They have a wonderful culture. The Luau is a traditional party or feast that everyone always enjoys. They will usually greet you with a lei which is a symbol for love and for warm greetings. They also have very interesting curses and legends that may fascinate you.
LEGEND/CURSE: Pele is a Hawaiian goddess who controls fire and volcanoes. She curses and punishes thieves. People who steal from her, they take sand, rocks, shells, anything that is natural from Hawaii. She will punish you by making everyday life difficult.
Hawaii is home to the only tropical rainforest in the United States. Their native flower is the Yellow Hibiscus which you can only find in Hawaii. They have many beaches with a variety of sands that are different colours (white, red, black, and much more). There are volcanoes scattered all over Hawaii and some of them form islands. Mauna Loa known for being less active for over 35 years.
In conclusion here are my three main reasons why Hawaii should be your number one travel destination or in other words, your number one place to visit. Their amazing food, their lovely culture, and beautiful nature. Thank you!
