Season Poetry
In writing we have been doing poetry, we had to choose a season to write about I chose summer because of all the sports on. Like Cricket and Football.

Lockdown
I don't mind being in lockdown, the worst thing is that there is no sport. But this is easy to cope with as I am just watching the 2005 ashes, cricket world cup 2019, 2003 rugby world cup and world boxing championship. Apart from that, I have been playing cricket and lots of other sports like soccer and boxing. And I have set up an experiment on my Xbox to see how good 2003 Arsenal would go in the modern Premier League, I have predicted the results and I am going to see how close I get. It has also been fun as we can go on the farm as well.

Concluding the Journey
The Activity I enjoyed the most was Defying the odds.
My least favorite activities were ones that I had to upload photos and take screen shots as my chromebook is away being fixed by insurance so I'm using Mum's stupid PC which I can't take screenshots with.I tried using Mum's phone to take screen shots and photos and then emailed them to myself but apparently no one else can see them although I can on this computer.
Three things I learned were:

Three things I learned were:
- Who BTS were (they are a Korean pop music band).
- That the more carefully you observe something the more you see.
- There are many famous people raising awareness for global warming.
One way the Summer Learning Journey could be improved upon would be to include more sport activities.

The dairy of Anne Frank
Dear Diary today I went to a Ed Sheeran in Halifax , England. I got to sit in the front row! The concert was amazing and after it was finished I had almost lost my voice. Right at the end he said whichever seat he drew out of a jar would get to meet him! Amazingly it was actually me! I could hardly believe what happened. I just sat there barely moving out of astonishment as I walked up I was so stunned. I had my guitar in my hand because I hadn't thought to put it down he said lots of things and then we did a duet of I See Fire. It was so amazing.

The right to an Education
What happened last night the last thing I remember is watching England vs New Zealand in the rugby and England were winning then Owen Farrell got pushed over the line and ran into me by accident. Suddenly I wake up. I get up, why does everything look so different and why do I have heaps of England training shirts? I walk round. Why does everything look so different. As I am trying to look for a mirror I see an indoor pool and gym why is that here. When I finally find a mirror. I am Owen Farrell! Next minute a person walks into the room they say that I have to get to training, this can't be real. Surely. I am thrown a set of keys to and Audi R8. Next minute I wake up.

The World of Hip Hop
The Royal Family Dance Crew are pretty good. They weren't what I was expecting.
I don't have any idea of how they could improve, it's not really my type of dancing but for the people who enjoy hip hop they would be cool to go and see.
They had great timing, I liked how their long hair seemed to flick around/back and forth adding to the performances fast jerky movements. They flowed easily from fast and to the point to smooth, athletic and fluid.
I thought their pink and black costumes stood out well on stage and there was a big difference between the males in black with a little pink and the women in pink with a little black.
The blonde dancer in the middle is the one who stood out to me the most.

Some similarities are colours used, the same kind of shapes, broken up by black lines.
Some differences are one is writing and the other is not, one covers an entire building and the other just a section, one looks like it has been done for fun and the other to 'paint' building'.
Plot Points
If I were to make a movie I would call it Nothing.
It would be about a group of teenage boys (Jason, Roy, Shane, Marnus, Owen and Henry) who have their country invaded by a foreign enemy. They manage to escape and work to save their country.
They have an idea to steal and/or destroy the enemies weapons and supplies.
They target convoys for a start stealing weapons such as grenades and explosives then move their camp to a place 50 minutes hike from a huge base and plan their attack.
The movie ends just as they've blown up the training center, barracks and vehicle bay on their way to the bush a soldier faces them with a weapon held to Owen's head ordering them to stop.

Printing Prosthetics
Modern prostheses can cost tens of thousands of dollars and kids quickly outgrow them so for most children a prosthetic is an impossible dream.
e-Nable are using 3D technology to print prostheses like hands, fingers and wrists and then giving them away for free!
They don't even pretend to look like real hands - they look like something Iron Man would have which is really cool.
They are on track to provide 6,000 prostheses in the next 2 years.

Overcoming Adversity
Last winter I hurt my Achilles tendon. I was playing 3 sports (Football, Rugby and Basketball) and I had to be really careful with my training and games so that I didn't let my team down. I went to the Physio and she taught me how to strap my leg and showed me some good stretches.

I Have A Dream
In America there used to be segregation (keeping people separate from each other) between black and white people. In 1955 Rosa Parks gained a lot of public attention to Martin Luther King Jr's cause by refusing to give up her seat on a bus to a white man. She was arrested for breaking the law but she argued that it wasn't fair. On the day of her trial black people refused to use the buses and since they made up about 70% of the population in that area the buses made much less money that day. After 381 days of not using the buses the court ruled that Alabama's racial segregation law was unconstitutional and so the law was changed!

Dear Jacinda
I am writing to you today about something I believe is very important to our children's well being.
If we could get more sport programs in the NZ curriculum we would solve a wide range of issues such as:
1. Getting people outside more.
2. Allowing those children good at sports to have a better chance of competing on the world stage.
3. It would help with National obesity and type 2 diabetes freeing up money and space in our Healthcare system.
4. It would help reduce screen addiction which is becoming a big problem world wide.
5. It would help children to concentrate better on their academic studies.
I believe these points speak for themselves and would love you to take this letter into consideration.
Yours Faithfully

Swimming to Safety
Yusra and her sister escaped the Syrian war and went to find safety in Europe. They travelled through Lebanon to Turkey before traveling to Greece in an overcrowded dinghy.
Not long into the sea crossing, the boat’s engine failed. Yusra, her sister and two others jumped into the waves and swam for three and a half hours in open water to stop their dinghy capsizing, saving the lives of 20 people.
A year later, Yusra’s courage, determination and strong swimming skills were recognized by the International Olympic Committee and she became a member of the first ever Refugee Olympic Team. Yusra competed at the Olympic Games in Rio in 2016.
She aims to compete at the next Olympic Games. Yusra is a Goodwill Ambassador for UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, and works to alter global perceptions of refugees.

2. The 3rd best ever tennis player Djokovic has earned $20 million more than Serena Williams.
3. Venus and Serena Williams are fighting for gender equality.
4. Tennis is apparently quite close in payments for men and women.
One question I would like answered is if men are often paid more because they have more spectators watching their sport and so more money is brought in via ticket sales and views?

Acheiving our Dreams
My Pappa's dream job is to be a PH (professional hunter) in South Africa (which is where he comes from).
Six ways I could support him in achieving this job would be:
1. Help raise money for all of us to move to South Africa.
2. Go out hunting with him so he could practice taking people out more.
3. Ask him lots of questions about South Africa to make sure he knows how to answer tourists.
4. Get him to teach me how to be a more accurate shot so he can help the people he takes out.
5. Research then ask him lots of questions about different animals.
6. Learn about dangerous things so he would feel like we'd be safe over there.

It is in Christchurch.
It provides early intervention services to babies and pre-school aged kids with significant disabilities.
The Champion Centre offers services for children who have special needs or children whose developmental progress is at risk. Children who attend the centre have a wide range of special needs. These include Down syndrome, other genetic disorders, cerebral palsy, extreme prematurity, epilepsy, developmental dyspraxia, Autism Spectrum Disorder and brain injury.

I would not like to live in a Tiny House one day because I would like a bigger house that has more room for things such as an indoor sports area (like Owen Farrell's) for when it rains and I don't want to go out.
I do think the Tiny Houses look cool and are a great idea for the housing crisis so more people can afford to own a home. I think this one looks quite nice:

If Kate Sheppard were to be replaced on the NZ $10 note I think a good replacement would be Nancy Wake. I think she would be a great figure because she was really brave, she joined the French Resistance Movement helping the Allies and even killed a Nazi soldier with her bare hands. She was the most wanted woman of the Gestapo with a 5 million franc price on her head.

School Strike for Climate
Three facts I have learned from the School Strike for Climate Australia website are:
- They have 3 demands which are 1. No new coal, oil and gas products 2. 100% renewable energy generation and exports by 2030 and 3. Fund a just transition and job creation for all fossil fuel workers and communities
- They are students at school striking from school to try and get attention for their cause.
- They haven't got any ideas how to achieve their demands.

The book I have chosen is Return of the Temauji which is the 8th book in the Brotherband series. The book is by Australian writer John Flanagan. I like it because it is very entertaining and interesting. Once I have started reading it I find it very hard to stop.
The book is about a crew of Skandians (Vikings) trying to fight off a giant army from crossing the border. The problem is they don't know where they are going to cross and there are only 10 of the Herons (plus a dog) trying to stop thousands of Temauji - how will they do it?

My favorite game to play is Cricket because it is very fun because it is a game that you can have many abilities to play. It is fun and is very exciting if a team needs a certain amount of runs to win or if you take a wicket. It can take a long time but it uses a lot of thinking and technical abilities. It doesn't require a certain size like you can be 6'8 like Stuart Broad or be 5'8 like Harold Larwood because they both are amazingly fast bowlers (Broad Bowls at 137.6 km an hour on average average and Larwood bowled at 163.2 km an hour on average.) so you can be any size to play it. You also don't need to be fast or slow these are some of the reasons cricket is my favorite game. I have been playing Cricket for 8 years. You play cricket by one person (The Bowler) bowling a 5.5 ounce wooden ball down the bouncy 22 meter strip known as the crease. He bowls it down to the wickets 3 wooden 1.05 meter poles. If it hits them the wickets will move and the bails (Two wooden sticks) will fall off and when the bails fall off he is out. But in front of the wickets is a batsman wearing: Cricket Gloves, Helmet and pads they are holding a bat. With the bat they try and hit the ball and get runs if one of the 10 fielders catches it on the full the batsman is out.

The last theme that I would do would be of me playing games like Madden, FIFA and NBA 2K. Youtubers that I like and are subscribed to are The F2, CaniSports, Dude Perfect and KOT4Q.

The inventor I have chosen is Fionn Ferreira he is an 18 year old Irish boy from Western Cork. He isn't very famous but has invented a way to get all plastic out of the water. The way he did this was he invented a special type of oil and put it onto a vegetable (Light vegetables work best) then he places it into the ocean and the vegetable will draw in all the plastic then will get retrieved at a different place. When checked this method gets 87% +- 1.1 which is higher than filtering. If his method becomes more popular then this could save the ocean. He hopes to get this put onto boats so the plastic is carried out of the water.

Rivalry 1: Lionel Messi vs Cristiano Ronaldo - Both are considered the best players of this decade and David Beckham said that when Messi and Ronaldo retire it will leave a big hole in the football world.
Rivalry 2: England Test Cricket vs Australia Test Cricket - Some of the best two test sides in the world these two teams are the only two teams to compete in The Ashes (A five game test series between the two sides) there is an intense rivalry between these two sides both are very sportsman like but the rivalry is still very strong. Part of this is because on the 1932-33 Ashes Douglas Jardine (The English Captain) instructed his bowlers to bowl leg theory but to bowl bouncers this resulted in many Australian players getting hit this style of bowling was called Bodyline this is part of the reason that the Ashes is such a rivalry.
Rivalry 3: Manchester City vs Manchester United - These is a very emotional game for both sets of players this match is called the Manchester Derby the players of each team might fall over and cry if they miss a penalty or the fans might start throwing things if a player gets a goal whatever the result this match is very emotional.

Twenty-Seven Names got their name because they changed the company name from Love Lies Bleeding in 2006 because an American business had copyrighted the name and the company didn't have enough employees to enter into a legal battle with the other company. So they changed their name to Twenty-Seven Names to resemble the 27 employees that were working in the company at that point in time. I think that the name is good for them because it resembles something of the company when it was founded.

I would consider doing a 20-40 hour famine I might at times that I feel like I want to / feel fine to do so and to raise money for all the people starving. But at other times I might not if I was feeling a bit sick or just not feeling up to it. I would handle it reasonably well as I can go for long periods of time without eating. This could be a good experience to do a 20-40 hour famine.

A role model for me is Cristiano Ronaldo. He is a role model for me because he is very good at sports and he donates a lot of money to charity. He is also an ambassador for save the children. He is already 35 but is still very fit and donates a lot of his money to save the children and lots of other charities. He is not a bad sportsman, he may hate to lose but is never a bad sportsman always admitting where he went wrong and that the other team or player were better. These are some reasons why Cristiano Ronaldo is one of my role models.

I'm so sick of this place, today I worked out that I have been in here for two years! Today I worked in the quarry as usual, smashing rocks into gravel, I slipped and hurt my back today, its so bad I have been crawling around my cell to get from bed to the hall to get one of the two meals we get each day, it may taste disgusting but at least it is food. I didn't make it in time so now I will have to wait until tomorrow to eat.
Studying has helped take my mind off the constant pain a little, the law is very interesting and sometimes I close my eyes and imagine an alternate reality where I walk out of this place and use what I've learned to help my country.
