Summer Learning Journey Week 1 Day 1 Activity 1

Hello bloggers,

Today I am going to talk about explorers in the summer learning journey. People can use stars, sun, and ocean to navigate where they are headed. One such expert navigator was Nainoa Thompson. The old sea voyagers had to think carefully about what they could bring on the boat. Most of the boats were not facilitated with gadgets like fridge and freezers to store food for long. If I was to join the journey with Nainoa for a couple of weeks, then I would have to plan my food supplies very attentively. These are some clues of what is going to happen next. 

So in this blog post, I have to think of something that I can take to a boat for a long journey. I would prioritize my food supplies as follows.

1. Water because it is the most important thing in your body. 60% of our body is made of water. 
2.  The next one is protein bars. The nuts and fruits contained in them are rich in nutrients and small quantities can give good amunt of energy. 
3. I will bring soup packets because they are easy for digestion and good for my tummy when I am on the sea trip.
4. The next thing is a healthy sandwich will also keep us healthy. 
5. Halfway through the next one is salt because my mum says that salt can stop us from puking so I think it will help me from seasickness.
6. Another one would be coconut because coconut reacts like a bottle of glucose.
7. You would like to take jam because it helps you with lots of disease what you have.
8. Number eight should be fruits because they are an instant source of energy like coconut.
9. You can also take canned food as your lunch/dinner.
10. The last one is oatmeal I know that you need milk for oatmeal. So you can get milk powder instead of milk and use it in water.

The list above contains items vegeterian as I am a vegeterian.

Welcome back bloggers,

I am born in the city of Mumbai, India which is a five-thousand-years old civilization. Culture is reflected in the way people live in India. My mother is a Gujrati by religion and my father is a Bihari, hilariously children like me are called cocktails. I adapt two diffrent cultures inheritedly.

The photos above depict a glimpse of my culture. The food that we traditionally eat, the clothes that we wear, the festivals that we celebrate and the rituals that we follow. I majorily have adapted my mother's culture. The famous dishes to my knowledge are Dhokla, Khandhvi, Undhiyu, Fafda, Thepla, Handvo, Ganthia, etc. A Traditional Gujarati Thali is served in silver platter consisting of Dal (lentils), rice, vegetables, rotis and it is incomplete without crispy fried Farsan, chaas(Buttermilk), sweetmeats, sour chutneys and pickles. The dinner basically consists of Bhakhri-Shak or Khicdi Kadhi.

The longest dance festival which is Navartri is a traditional dance form of Gujarat. I have learnt a few steps from my mother and accompany her each year. The music of the drums makes each ones legs just beat on to it. It is a very inspirational and joyous form of dance.

The language spoken is Gujarati, my mom talks to me a lot in it. I understand it fully but unable to speak. If I talk in Gujarati, I really sound like a robot who is mechanically trained for speaking some words. The language is spoken by 46 million people and it is the 26 most spoken language in the world.

In my past 11 years, this is what I have learnt as my culture. Hope you enjoy reading my blog and have learnt something new!

Climate change

Hello bloggers,

Did you ever wonder that does the climate change around you. You might be wondering yes or no. The real answer is yes the climate keeps changing around you by one degree every day. If you think that this information is important than I will give you more information about climate change. Now I will show you a google drawing. Wish you like it. Me and my friend Jamal made this google drawing.


I found interesting that you can see the weather from a tree stump. I enjoyed the task because it's something new for me. Now I am wondering that when the climate changes around you why don't we realize it. If you won't to save the world from being destroyed then stop the pollution. Thank you for reading hope you like it.

Rippa Rugby

Hello Rippa Rugby players,

It's been 5 weeks of our classes rippa rugby training. I have learned a lot from the lessons and that is what i'm going to blog about. One of them is how to use the defending technique. It's easy you just have to shake your hips. If you  try to defend the tag by holding on to it, that's a foul. The name of holding the tag is called foul play.

The second thing what I learned is called scrums. That means forward pass and knock on. Forward pass means when you pass the ball forward and in rugby and rippa rugby there is only backward pass. Knock on means when you pass the ball and the ball falls down after touching your fingers. If the ball did not touch you and fell down it's not a knock on you just continue the game.

My friend Ashwin was the best player in our team. Now my third thing is catching and passing the ball. For catching the ball we have to make a w shape with our hands. Now to throw the ball we have to put the ball near your hip and spin and pass the ball.

Now the last thing what I learned is called a line out in that we have five players from each team line up with a little bit of gap in between. The person who went out of the line their opposite team gets to throw the ball from the line. Now I am going to show you a photo of me playing rippa rugby.

I'm at the back of the photo with my arms folded.

Lifecycle of a butterfly

Hello bloggers,
A butterfly has 5 stages until it gets an adult butterfly now let me introduce you to the 5 stages. The first stage is the eggs. When a female butterfly lays its baby eggs it's always at the back of a leaf or under a plant. Then it continues into a caterpillar the caterpillar is now really hungry so it starts eating then one day the caterpillar stops eating and goes to a twig or a leaf and starts spinning to make a cocoon. The cocoon is now started to turn into a chrysalis the chrysalis hangs upside down and is silky. The chrysalis starts to break and out comes a beautiful full grown butterfly which is able to fly now. Down below is a diagram of the lifecycle of a butterfly.

Te Reo Maori

Hello bloggers,
Today I am going to share my experience in learning something new at school.

At Hay Park school we have different sessions and one of them what I like is Te Reo Maori. I know languages like English, Hindi and Gujarati. Learning Te Reo Maori, gives me an opportunity to talk to my friends in school in their native language. I feel more close to them and they feel happy and sometimes burst into laughter when I pronounce words incorrect. It is hilarious for me too.

Last week I learned some fruits names in Maori and below is a list of their English translation. I am able to also read the signage on the roads written in Maori and understand their meaning.

Trip to Waikowhai Intermediate

Hello bloggers,

I am writing this blog post for my trip to waikowhai Intermediate. It was fun being in waikowhai Intermediate but still I want to go to Mt roskill Intermediate because my mum says that Mt roskill Intermediate is better than Waikowhai Intermediate anyways, I did some writing about Waikowhai Intermediate check it out.

Last month year 6s from Hay Park school had a visit to the waikowhai Intermediate school for their
graduation. 

When we went inside the hall their principal were waiting for us. Then their principal told us about him,
his school and the school counselor's responsibility. After he was finished he took us for a round of the
school with his school counselor’s.

When we finished it was morning tea time so me and my friends played outside, then the bell rang,
and we had to get back in the hall. Afterwards the principal put us in groups of 4. The groups were called
visual art, food tech, hard tech and performing arts.

Bones of a human body

Hello bloggers,

There are 270 bones in our body when we are born. But when we grow these bones decrease. There are 206 bones when we are adult. Are femur/ thighbone is the biggest bone in the human body. Stape is the shortest bone which is inside our ear. The color of our bone is white.

If it is broken than we can't do anything from that part of the bone. If are bone is broken it is also known as a fracture. A little fracture can be fixed but the big one will not be fixed. If you have a fracture or you feel like you have a fracture than show it to a doctor as soon as possible.

Bones are important because if we only have skin than we will be like paper and if we have a bone we can bend. The difference between ape and us is that they have a tail and we don't but we both still have a tail bone. 

Summer Learning Journey Week 1 Day 1 Activity 2

Hello bloggers,

My hometown is Mumbai which is the economical capital of India. Human abode of Mumbai was since the stone age. A Marathi community were the earliest known homesteaders of Mumbai. Mumbai, previously known as Bombay was renamed in 1995.

Now let me share a few of my favorites about my hometown. I'm crazy about the street food. The yumcious flavours make my mouth water. To name a few Pav bhaji, Vada pav, masala dosa, frankie, chicken lollypop, Bengali sweets, traditional Gujarati food, kulfi and candy floss. Because of the amount of people there socialize. I had around dozens of friends.                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Mumbai is also known as the city of seven islands because in early days it was seven different islands. The population of Mumbai is 20.8 million which is approximately four times the population of entire New Zealand. It is a multilingual city with 22 different languages spoken. Diversity is visible in every aspect there including delicious food items, heart winning tourist attractions, fun-filling activities for each age group, hubs for shoppers and joyous festival celebrations.Spending time with my grandparents was one of my favorites. 

My grandfather narrated stories that made me increase my reading abilities and my grandmother is an awesome chef. Words are insufficient in describing how much I miss my hometown.

Summer Learning Journey Week 1 Day 1 Activity 1

Hello Bloggers,
From Monday 17 December 2018 we had started Summer Learning Journey and this is my first one. In this one we just had to go to a website and then choose 3 things and blog about it. This is mine about Mt Ruapehu,forest and New Zealand being snake free country.

Mt Ruapehu also known as the most active volcano in New Zealand had first erupted in 1895. There is extreme danger to stay around Mt Ruapehu. It can erupt at any time. The last time it had erupted was in 2006. Mt Ruapehu is a good tourist attraction. We can do a lot of ice activities in Mt Ruapehu. It is open for public from 1st of June 2019 for activities.

New Zealand is famous for its greenery. 30% of New Zealand is forest. The silver fern of New Zealand is famous because its like moonlight from the back. From the front it is light green and some are also dark green.

New Zealand is a snake free country. There are only 2 water snakes in New Zealand. The water snakes are also called kraits. Kraits are rare to be found so you don't have to worry about it. Water snakes can travel a long distance like New Zealand to Australia. It's fun to play fun to play in the water but be careful.
